My Currency Cannot be Updated from Admin!

[---kate---]

When I try to update the currency from my admin I am getting these errors :-

And all the values for every currency are set to zero!

How do I fix this? What does couldn't reslove host mean?

Thankyou

I too, am having this problem. Has it been resolved? So far, I have tried to dump the program entirely and reload from Godaddy and still have the same problem. Can anyone help?

Lucky you.

Set up your CURL proxy:

Thank you for replying at such an early hour.

I verified that Proxy status was "true", it was. Also the address was the same as well. Still, the update currencies button doesn't work.

Godaddy says that the SSL has to be on this account in order for this to work. I plan on getting a Secure Server for my site just before I go online. Is that what I need to get the update Currencies button to work, or have I missed something else?

Zen Cart does not require SSL in order to update currencies.

It sounds like GoDaddy isn't doing you any favors.
Granted, I'm very much NOT a fan of GoDaddy's poor-quality hosting and tech support.

You have three options:
a) Stick with GoDaddy and try to convince their technical staff to fix things so that their servers can actually connect to external resources.

b) Stick with GoDaddy and manually update your currencies by looking up the correct rates and typing them in yourself.

c) Find a better host that doesn't have the technical limitations imposed by GoDaddy. Recommendations can be found by clicking "hosting" at the top of this page.


Oh ... question ... are you having *exactly* the same symptoms as the previous person? Are the error/warning messages the same?

[Fungai]

Yes, I'm having exactly the same response that she was having. Is there something else?
