Time outs during Checkout - DB problem? Help?

[buzzville]

This was basically the last straw from GoDaddy for me. I switched hosts (thank you Camelot Hosting!), and now everything is working smoothly. Repeat - whatever problem I was having was fixed by switching hosts, despite what I was told by GoDaddy. Camelot transferred the site as-is and everything is now working smoothly. Might be worth a call to GoDaddy to tell them this. Good luck!

Thanks for the update and glad to hear that one of our Zen Cart Certified Hosting sites was able to get you fixed up the right way ...

Good luck with your site!

I had a problem like this crop up today myself and had I not seen this note about it being a USPS module for shipping, it occurred to me that I had not reinstalled the Canada Post module, and that turned out to be the fix for the solution as well. So it doesn't necessarily need to be USPS, if you have any module that deals with the shopping_cart.php file, it's worth checking it to be sure you can resolve it.

Either or, I'm just glad to have it fixed now,

All the sites I maintain now are finally caught up to 1.37.

If your shipping provider's website is not responding, your checkout_shipping page could hang for up to 30 seconds while your store waits for a response.

If it "was" working fine but is now getting timeouts, you need to contact "their" tech support department. (assuming you didn't change servers, or edit files on your server, or your host changed firewall settings or upgrade PHP etc)

Hi,
I'm new to zenland and I'm trying to get Canada Post to work, but in the check out area this is the message that appears under the CP spot. Whats going on? What am I missing? I had talked to my webhost before I signed up and they told me and assured me that opening up port 30000 was no problem and they could/would do that, and I have an account setup with CP??? Thanks

Cannot reach Canada Post Server. You may refresh this page (Press F5 on your keyboard) to try again.
110 Connection timed out
If you prefer to use Canada Post as your shipping method, please contact the Didgmaster Reflexology & Industries via Email.

I got it all figured out, port 30000 wasn't opened bidirectionally. It is now and working fine. Thanks

I have been getting error 400 messages from near enough day one in my admin though not from the customer side of things. Put it down to my pc, it isnt just my store it happens on, also happens on 2 others. Only in admin - you try and insert or confirm or change page and wham - time out even if only seconds.

Any one else had this problem? I dont have any shipping other than flat rate.
