HTTP 500 errors in Paypal IPN checkout??

[BDCreations]

I upgraded to ver 1.3.8 today and have hada multitude of errors ever since..trying to slowly work my way through and am stumped about what is wrong with my checkout...I assume there are files not matching on the website...

Error occurs at stage 1 of checkout with shipping choices...on this page... http://www.bydesigncreations.ca/inde...ckout_shipping

So this means there is an error somewhere in the checkout_shipping file somewhere, correct? or is there another file it may refer to? is there more than one of those files in different areas that maybe no longer match?? any ideas??

Boy nothing is ever as simple as it seems sometimes...

Thanks,
Moy

Now to add injury to insult when i try and login using test user i get another error...

"There was a security error when trying to login." and it absolutely will not let me in at all unless i create a new user...

Upgrading was so not a good idea...

As it is the checkout page to be looked at, one needs a login to get there and see the problem.

You will need to provide a screenshot of the problem or a test login.

Also, when upgrading to v1.3.8x make sure to clear your Browser cache & cookies.

You can log in using test AT test DOT com p/w testtest.

Put anything in the cart and see what happens immediately during checkout....

lol - forgot to mention if you can even log in that is with the new "There was a security error when trying to login." issue...

Definitely problems in River City. (old expression)

Tried your login which didn't work and created my own ( Name: Just Testing, which you can delete) which didn't work either.


Do you have this in your config files, near the bottom:

define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database');

If not, change it so that it is and see what happens.


Other than that, this problem is above my knowledge and hopefully, someone more experienced will share their knowledge.

It's a good thing you did your upgrade in a test area so that your live site isn't adversely affected by unexpected behavior, isn't it!

It's probably wise to deal with your security-error-during-login issue first.
Here's an FAQ on it: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=312


Then, check your server's errorlog for the cause of the 500 errors.

I'm confused ... why did you title this thread as being something wrong with PayPal IPN when your problem is happening on the shipping-details page ... which happens on the screen before payment methods are even considered?

[BDCreations]

Changed the file from

define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');

to define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database'); as suggested...

Nothing appeared to change currently?? Grrr...

I have also read the tutorial a million times now, still had no idea how to merge the 2 files and cannot find the security token line that needs to be changed...I think I must have accidentally over written it...

What is the line so I can add it back in??? Can someone please paste it for me and its lcation it needs to be in the 2 files please?

- /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_login_default.php
- /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_timeout_default.php

Thanks!!

Apologies..at this point my head is swimming in all the bugs I have had to change/fix I have little idea anymore where the errors are hoping a fresh head today and some answers from the boards will get me back on track :)

Thanks!!
