Failed to Get Basic Authentication Headers/Google Checkout

**jasper0** · 10-28-2007, 05:52 PM

I have installed Google Checkout for Osommerce...I get this error

We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://www.margaritas-video-store.c...nsehandler.php -- the error we got is: Send failed with code: 401. Response body was: Failed to Get Basic Authentication Headers

Even though my hosting company says that he doesn't run PHP over CGI..I set up .htaccess and .htpasswd as suggested...At that point I get this error

We encountered an error trying to access your server at https://www.margaritas-video-store.c...nsehandler.php -- the error we got is: Sending failed with HTTP response code: 500. Response body was: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>500 Internal Server Error</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Internal Server Error</H1> The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.<P> Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@margaritas-video-store.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.<P> More information about this error may be available in the server error log.<P> <P>Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. <HR> <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.37 Server at Margarita's Video Store - Home Page Port 443</ADDRESS> </BODY></HTML>

Any help would be appreciated as this cost me 2 days and a bunch of frustration...thanks in advance...Karl

There is a mod specifically for osCMax, did you install it or the standard google checkout?

Here is the oscmax mod:

You should use the osCMax one, as it is specifically made for osCMax. It is officially part of the google checkout development.

Since you are using the standard google checkout mod, and not the osCMax version, you should ask about it at the google checkout discussion group, as they would be better able to help:
