usps.php error

[GERob]

I am running 1.3.7

I installed the new usps.php file to correct the shipping problems and now I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class usps in /home/skycandl/public_html/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 13

This is the code:

<?php
/**

 */
/**
 * USPS Shipping Module class
 *
 */
class usps extends base {
  /**
   * Declare shipping module alias code
   *
   * @var string
   */
  var $code;

I've tried changing class usps extends base { to class usps { but that didn't fix anything. I had uninstalled the module before installing the new file and I deleted the old file before uploading the new one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

you must totally rename the OLD usps.php file to something like usps.phpOLD

thisway the system dosnt try to readi it since these files auto load

I didn't rename the old file, I deleted it completely then uploaded the new file.

Permissions on the file are 0644

Additional information:

I'm also missing the right hand column on the admin/modules/shipping that has the options to install/edit/remove.

It's present on all other pages.

do you have a copy of the usps .php in an over rides folder?

No, the only usps.php files on my server are:
includes/modules/shipping/usps.php
includes/language/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

And the only one I changed was the first one.

What did you use to upload the files? Perhaps they were corrupted during the upload?

[GERob]

I've re-uploaded three times with three different programs, the builtin one in cPanel, CyberDuck and in place editing.

All have the same error.

tells me that its declaring the class somewhere ELSE first,

try renaming the file you uploaded to includes/modules/shipping/usps.php to usps.phpOLD

see if you can still see the module

Humor me on this one

[GERob]

Renamed file to usps.phpOLD

The error goes away.... and the right hand column comes back, but there is no option for usps shipping to choose.

I've even tried replacing the original file back and I still get the error.

Oh, and I've not made any custom changes to the site other than graphics.

I agree it seems like it's declaring it else where, I just don't know where?
