The primary exchange rate server (oanda) failed

[MeltDown]

Quite frequently oanda fails and the xe update resets that specific currency to 0.00000:

Warning: The primary exchange rate server (oanda) failed for Euro (EUR) - trying the secondary exchange rate server.
The exchange rate for Euro (EUR) was updated successfully via xe.

Warning: The primary exchange rate server (oanda) failed for Canadian Dollar (CAD) - trying the secondary exchange rate server.
The exchange rate for Canadian Dollar (CAD) was updated successfully via xe.

This has been an issue for a number of months, forcing me to manually reset each failed currency. Again, this occurs quite often, and on numerous carts.

Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Thanks :)

Zen Cart and PHP versions?

I get the same issue, really annoying. I have 6 currencies. When I click the update currencies button two or three currencies are updated as zero. Only one with zero if i'm lucky, that's actually what I shoot for, I keep clicking the update button a few times until it only gives me one error, then I edit that one manually.

This happens with all ZC version I have 1.3.7 - 1.3.9

I think the oanda server always has issues. I meant to look into that a while ago, but I keep forgetting because I only update currencies about once a month, but it's very annoying when I have to do it with this problem.

Which is the file that defines the primary server/

If it's any consolation, the code in v1.5 has been updated to add and use ECB as the primary. Just one more good reason to upgrade ;)

Zen Cart and PHP versions?

Hi Doc, sorry for the delay: It's happening on the following Zen carts:

Zen Cart 1.3.6 / Database Patch Level: 1.3.6 / PHP Version: 5.2.17 (Zend: 2.2.0)

And

Zen Cart 1.3.8a / Patch: 1:: / Database Patch Level: 1.3.8 / PHP Version: 5.2.17 (Zend: 2.2.0) PHP Memory Limit: 256M

Of course you are right about upgrading, but any chance of a fix for the moment? :)

Thanks!

Uploaded the 2 files to renamed admin folder.

Attempt to update currency and it still uses XE and Oanda.

v1.3.9H

With respect I submit that you've put the file for the extra_configures folder in the wrong place, or not uploaded it at all, else that wouldn't be happening.

[RixStix]

Thank you DrByte.

Sorry. I didn't read the instructions. I just renamed the admin folder and uploaded it 'as-was' to the server assuming that everything was in place.

This morning, I moved the file in the extra_configures folder from the zip to the extra_configures folder within the admin/includes folder as stated in the instructions.

Now all is well. Thank you again. All appears to be functioning as intended.

Beautiful... Thanks, Doc.

FYI: I did the same thing as RixStix; I uploaded the files to my first site directly from the mod, not taking the time to read the directions thoroughly. The end result is that the extra_configures folder was misplaced. You might save yourself some future headache by updating the mod so that the extra_configures file is inside the includes file :)

Thanks again - T
