    Checkout Broken after upgrade to v9

    http://www.musthave.co.uk

    Hi

    Our Checkout is VERY broken, at checkout you get an Error 404.

    We upgraded to Version 9 yesterday and refreshed the site. During the initial refresh we, as expected, lost the ability to buy on the website for about an hour or so. However as soon as the upload began of the .html files, orders were made without a problem.

    When the upload had finished we downloaded the orders, we had a few orders that were stuck, but the rest came down fine and we were happy that all had worked. I then clicked download again and another came down, so as far as I was aware the site was functioning properly after the site upload had completed.

    About 30 minutes later - disaster. We happened to check the site and we found the Error 404 message when trying to check out. As far as I am aware nothing changed from our end to cause this.

    I have refreshed the site. I have purged and refreshed the site. Nothing.

    We do have secure SSL pages which should come into play at the point it fails. Could this be a possible cause? I noticed the following post: http://community.actinic.com/showthr...oto=nextnewest
    and wondered if we have a similarly related problem.

    Our server people gave us the following :
    ______________________________________________________________

    As per conversation, when I attempt to check out, the error logs give the following:


    [Wed Apr 16 19:26:31 2008] [error] [client 212.100.225.55] File does not exist: /var/www/vhosts/musthave.co.uk/httpdocs/acatalog/IMAGES\\common\\ny_background.gif, referer: http://www.musthave.co.uk/cgi-bin/cm024656.pl

    Notice the path not only doesnt exist, but windows style "\\" are used instead of linux style "/"

    The error that gets displayed in the browser is a 404 for this url:

    http://www.musthave.co.uk/cgi-bin/&S...ource%252ehtml

    So I think either the application has wrong paths set, or its using the incorrect paths to generate the pages, which means each page becomes in accessible.

    ______________________________________________________________


    We are totally at a loss and any possible solutions or ideas about what may gone wrong would be much appreciated.

    Kindest regards,

    Amy

    Roll back to V8 and have V9 in test mode while you sort it out. I am surprised at a site like yours being so willy nilly over an upgrade, to go live without testing is madness.

    Does the network test pass ok (web|network setup) and did you have any other customisations apart from the buttons?

      For some reason the 'checkout' button on your cart seems to be broken.

      If you copy and paste this http://www.musthave.co.uk/cgi-bin/os...l?ACTION=start into your browser it seems to be OK.

      Your only checkout link is via the cart so that's not good.

      If you can roll back the live site to V8 and test V9 then that's your best option. Otherwise contact actinic support and get them onto it.

        Thanks chaps.

        Thanks for responding to my plight. Having looked at the button suggestion from OlderScot I noticed that the Google Analytics feature was giving me a Javascript Error with regard to that button, which needs some further investigation too.

        Anyway, with regard to the Original Post, I ended up getting Tech Support involved who managed to sort the problem.

        According to them it would seem the V9 upgrade had chopped out some rather essential code from that page. See below, just in case anyone else has a problem:

        The problem is to do with your “View Cart Bulk Area” layout. It seems the upgrade from V8 to V9 has stripped out some important hidden code.

        _____________________________________________________________
        Go to Design | Library | Layouts | Web Page Inner Layouts – double click on “View Cart Bulk Area”. On line 6 you will see:

        <form method="post" action="<actinic:variable name="OnlineScriptURL" value="Cart Manager Script URL" />" <actinic:variable value="Google Analytics Form Tag" name="GoogleAnalyticsMarkup" />>
        After this code insert:

        <input type="hidden" name="RANDOM" value="<actinic:variable name='Random'/>" />

        <input type="hidden" name="CHECKOUTURL" value="<actinic:variable name='CheckOutPageURL' />?ACTION=Start" />


        Apply | OK | Close

        Web | Publish To Web
        _____________________________________________________________

        With regard to testing, I had checked the layouts etc but hadn't realised that I could have a v8 LIVE site and a v9 TEST site. Anyway, will know for next time.

        Again, thank you very much for your assistance.

        Kind regards,

        Amy
