USPS module that comes with OSC Max

[jonnyvegasss]

Hello, I am having the same problem with osCMax v2.0.2

There was another thread from 2007

error using USPS

about changing some lines in usps.php and the database. Is this fix already in this version of osCmax? or should I be looking into that approach?

Thanks in advance!

what exactly is your problem..Are you trying to run on the test server? For USPS you have to be on the production server for it to work. I would assume that V2.02 would be up to date with the latest code and database entrys.

Ahh, well I did that, Called USPS and asked them to switch us to the Production Server and everything works just fine. thank you! Hopefully this will help others!

i actually registered and got the email for the rate calculator but im still getting the error, am i supposed to email usps and tell them that im ready to start using their rate calculator api?

I called, there is a phone number on the email they sent you. Call it askt hem to switch you from the test server to the production server.
make sure you changed to the production server in your OSCMAX USPS shipping module and you should have no problem. For whatever reason the Test server doesn't work with OSCMAX.
Hope this helps

USPS have activated my production account.

I cannot find a place within the oscMax module that needs to be changed. Is there more than one place to designate the server name? At line 509 (v2.0.15) I find this code:

//USPS PRODUCTION SERVER

$usps_server = 'production.shippingapis.com'; //'stg-production.shippingapis.com'; // or stg-secure.shippingapis.com //'production.shippingapis.com';
$api_dll = 'shippingapi.dll'; //'shippingapi.dll';

It already shows the proper USPS production server names. Is there a change here I should be making?
