Getting Blank Page On Checkout after editing files with RTF editor

[DrByte]

Okay.
What addons/contributions do you have installed on the site?
What *exact* steps did you follow to do your upgrade?

[breck]

I used these instructions for upgrade:
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...tion_-_Upgrade

The only thing I have added is the 'blue sky' template.
Maybe Canpar mod if it wasn't in original download.

I also removed the canpar and kept canadapost, still blank screen.

I will try uploading all the files again, but don't see the point since it was tried by others already with no success.

but don't see the point since it was tried by others already with no success.

Each case is unique.
Your situation is apparently related to the checkout_payment page.

Most of the others I've seen are related to the checkout_process or checkout_success page ... and that's a result of an email problem, for which a fix has been published.

Since yours is failing on the payment screen, it's important to know which payment modules you have enabled. But, you keep talking about shipping modules instead ...

I already mentioned in a previous reply that I only use Paypal Express Checkout

Please upload a new file to your site, as follows:

name: /includes/local/configure.php (yes, create the "local" folder if needed)
contents:

<?php
if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'checkout_payment') define ('STRICT_ERROR_REPORTING', true);
?>

What happens when you go to the payment page now?

[breck]

I tried the above and can't view any page of site.
Get the following instead:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home4/stuffupf/public_html/store/includes/local/configure.php on line 2

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home4/stuffupf/public_html/store/includes/local/configure.php on line 2

[DrByte]

It seems you've made a typo. There were no \ marks in the suggested code.
Please try it again.

[breck]

Don't see how it's a typo. I copied and pasted what you put.

I tried 3 times with the same error.
On the fourth attempt, the error never came up.

On clicking on Continue Checkout, still get the blank page.

I opened the includes/local/config.php

And it contains the following now if it helps:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang4105{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 <?php\par
if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'checkout_payment') define ('STRICT_ERROR_REPORTING', true);\par
?>\par
}

?>\par
}

Where the heck is all that junk coming from? That's what I was referring to when I said "typo". You'll notice that what you quoted as being in the file is *not* what I had suggested you put in the file.

What software are you using to edit PHP files?
What software are you using for uploading and downloading files to/from your server?
If it's a microsoft product, dump it and use something reliable.

Perhaps you've got corrupted PHP files on your server as a result of using unreliable tools to do your file uploads ... hence the blank page during checkout.

[breck]

I put exactly what you gave me and uploaded it with SmartFTP.

I give up. Going back to my 1.3.7.
Don't have the patience.
