Fedex Quotes But Won't Print Label

[cabana]

I can get the Fedex mod to give customers a valid quote so the system is able to communicate with the Fedex Machines but for some reason when I try to use the Fedex Label maker I get the following error after selecting service and confirming package details:

This transaction could not be completed. Please note the error message below.

ERROR: FedEx Return Error 8024 : Invalid account or meter number

I spoke with Fedex and when I ran it in debug they said everything looked fine. Is there something that I need to change in the code. Please help this would save me tons of time and $$$.

Does anyone know who I could ask about this issue?

Can someone at least tell me who the original author of this mod was. Maybe I can contact them directly.

Hi Josh,
I just went throught this headache myself. Here is what you need to do to get this working. The main source of the problem(s) seem to be in the following file:

admin/includes/fedexdc.php

The top of the file needs to have

    $server = 'production'

and the right after this,

    $request_referer = yourdomain.com

This is the source of message you are seeing:

ERROR: FedEx Return Error 8024 : Invalid account or meter number


Once we got past this, though, we ran into a couple of other problems. The first dealt with broken images (i.e. empty images) for the labels. To fix this, try the following:

around line 226, find the line

    if (empty($match[1])) continue;

and comment it out:

    //if (empty($match[1])) continue;

The final error we had dealt with some messages about fedex/post.txt not being found. To correct this , try the following:

around line 315, find the line

    $fp=fopen(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'fedex/post.txt', 'w');

comment it out or delete it and replace with

    $fp=fopen('../images/fedex/post.txt', 'w');

I hope this helps. The forums don't seem to be too active here, so if you have problems in the future, you might want to try the oscommerce forums and search for the contrib/file with which you need help.

The next thing that bit us is that you need to create a directory for the label images. This should be admin/images/fedex
