ACK!!! duplicate order numbers?!

I just moved my shop (1.3.8) from one server to another. Everything seemed to move OK. The shop looks and appears to work fine. And new orders are being recorded in the dbase... and I get an email notifying me of each new order.

But the order numbers are duplicating -- #125, then #126, then #125 again, then #127, then #128, then #127 again, then #128 again -- and the second instance of the order number appears to be overwriting the original order (!) as the first instance no longer appears in the lost of orders. I have an email telling me what it was.... but its no longer in the dbase.

I'm not a dbase guru. Has anyone see this before? Does anyone have a clue as to how I can fix it?

Hope me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

Re: ACK!!! duplicate order numbers?!

After you "moved" did you Reset Cache Key?

I ran the php file that mentioned in the "how-to" page. Nothing pop-ed up and said "you've screwed up!". So I assumed that it had worked OK.

Should I re-run it, ya' think?

If you got a blank page, then everything's ok with cache.

But what's going on with the order numbers... a mystery.:huh:

Re: ACK!!! duplicate order numbers?!

I'm still having problems, folks. I was notified about order #130 by email. But its not in the list.

I've looked at the db using phpmyAdmin and #130 isn't in the db -- so its not a matter of the php screwing up and not displaying it. It really isn't there.

Anyone have any ideas?

I found it! I forgot to update PayPal with the new server name in the PayPal IPN urls.

Doh!
