USPS May 14th patch not working

I finally got around to installing the patch since the rate change, and I can't get it working. I have been using table rate instead, but I would rather offer actual shipping.

The old one I had on there had a place to enter username and password for USPS. This new version does not have the password field. I get warning messages on my cart admin that say:

Warning Shipping Configuration errors!
Warning: USPS is either missing the username and/or password, or ... it is set to TEST rather than PRODUCTION and will not work
If you still cannot retrieve quotes, contact USPS and activate your live account.

How am I supposed to enter my password when there IS NO password field? I already have an account and did everything to get it activated etc. over a year ago. This is the account that gives you a username AND password in order to use their rate calculating server. That's the username this mod is asking for, correct?

So where does my password go?

I'm using 1.3.0.2 for my cart (I know, I know...too many modifications and so little time to upgrade right now).

Thanks in advance.

Re: USPS May 14th patch not working

I am having a Simular problem with a client.

Have their account ID ... Have it set up on Test.

Debugging on and it emails me info
that the account does not have access to that server.

Happens when on Test, Staging or Production.

Requested USPS put account onto production Server, they say
they cant because the account has not "Seen" a Test Request on the test server ..

Something is not adding up :-)

:lamo:

Re: USPS May 14th patch not working

I still Have it on the test server with debbuging on.

The Email from the usps says this is the test address
http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll

The code in includes\modules\shipping\usps.php for the test server is
$usps_server = 'testing.shippingapis.com';
$api_dll = 'ShippingAPI.dll';

It appears maybe the usps has changed the API names?

I changed it to,
$usps_server = 'testing.shippingapis.com';
$api_dll = 'ShippingAPITest.dll';

The debugging email produced this when I changed the dll above to match
the usps email.

<Error> <Number>80040b1a</Number> <Description>API Disabled: Rate. Use RatesV2 for testing</Description> <Source>UspsCom::DoAuth</Source> </Error>

Im no programmer .. but thats what I have observed so far ???

Make sense to anyone?
