Shipping Stopped working

[13moons]

Based on our last order at around 11:30 last night and a few emails from customers our choice of shipping options stopped working at midnight. We use UPS and USPS. The message for UPS is "We are unable to obtain a rate quote for UPS shipping". The USPS message is "An error occurred in obtaining USPS shipping quotes". Any ideas of what might be happening?
Thanks

Possibly that the software used to obtain those quotes is no longer supported? What version(s) apply to each of the modules? The USPS module was recently updated in the last couple of months, has that been applied to the site? One way to identify at least the USPS version is from the admin screen goto tools->Developer's Toolkit.

Bottom left text window type in usps.php, in the next dropdown select catalog, then select the button on the far right of that row.

A row should come back with the version. Please post it here.

Thanks for getting back to me. For the USPS module I have @version $Id: usps.php 2013-07-28 ajeh $ Version J 2013-07-28 and another line @version $Id: usps.php 2013-07-30 ajeh Version J5 $.
I just saw that there was an update for the USPS module but I haven't noticed anything about UPS module. Because they both quit at the same time I wanted to try and be sure of what the problem is before I start changing modules, etc.
Does the updated USPS module work fine with zencart 1.5.1?
Thanks for your help.

That would explain your USPS issues. The USPS current version shows:

 * @version $Id: usps.php 2014-10-30 ajeh Version K6 $

... and yes, it works just fine with Zen Cart v1.5.1.

You should sign up for the News and Announcements forum so you do not miss important notices and can review some of the previous ones:

The last for USPS was this one:

This is the UPS module:

and this is the UPSXML module:

Thanks for the answers. When I updated to 1.5.1 wouldn't I already have the latest UPS module? Following the above instructions to find the version I got :
@version $Id: functions_lookups.php 19352 2011-08-19 16:13:43Z ajeh $
// $Id: ups.php 1969 2005-09-13 06:57:21Z drbyte $
@version $Id: ups.php 14498 2009-10-01 20:16:16Z ajeh $

Again before I do the upgrades just trying to make sure so I don't compound and make anything worse.
Thanks

Starting with Zen Cart v1.5.0, neither the UPS nor USPS shipping modules are included in the base distribution. They were moved to the plugins area at that time.

I guess it's an assumption but since I didn't just update but rebuilt from scratch in August of 2013 I would think I had downloaded the latest version to install.
Thanks

You apparently did, since at that time (August 2013) the latest version would have been the one you referenced ( @version $Id: usps.php 2013-07-28 ajeh ). There have been a couple of USPS updates since then, usually in the January and July timeframes.

Sorry I wasn't clear in the last reply. I know I don't have the latest USPS however it does appear I do have the latest UPS update. They both stopped working at midnight. Why would that happen to the UPS shipping option also if I do have the latest version?
