Website not working after Server Upgrade

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

I am still running an old version of Actinic/Sellerdeck V9 and not yet had time to set-up with the V18 version I purchased
My webhosts have migrated my site to a new server and now the website is not working.

Does anyone know what versions of PERL would be compatible, etc that I can pass to the host or any other server requirements

all CGI scripts are giving 500 errors

When clicking an add to cart button the host has said this error is given
"Can't use 'defined(%hash)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at cgi-bin/al000004.pm line 1559."

Also a list of any required Perl Modules and versions

[NormanRouxel]

You can patch the Actinic Perl scripts to be compatible with the later Perl versions.

Back files up before changing them and use a text editor like notepad++.

Here are my notes on what's needed.

SellerDeck Perl files that need editing for Perl 5.28.1

These issues are fixed in SD 16.0.4 onwards

# Drillpine amended for Perl V5.28.1 compatibility


ACTINIC.PM (al000001.pm on server)

Change:

	if ((defined %::g_InputHash) &&				# override the real referrer with the passed value
	
To:

	if (%::g_InputHash &&						# override the real referrer with the passed value
	
Change:	
	
	if ((defined %::g_InputHash) &&					# if we have input parameters
	
To:

	if (%::g_InputHash &&								# if we have input parameters



ActinicOrder.pm

Change:

	@{$rarrCurTaxBands}->

To:

	$rarrCurTaxBands->

Change:

	@{$rarrDefTaxBands}->

To:

	$rarrDefTaxBands->

	
SEARCH.PM (sl000001.pm on server - only needed on SellerDeck V12 and later)

Change:

			$phashOutput->{$sProductReference} = $phashOutput->{$sProductReference} + %$phash2->{$sProductReference}; 
			
To:

			$phashOutput->{$sProductReference} = $phashOutput->{$sProductReference} + $phash2->{$sProductReference};
			
			
TESTSETTINGS.PL (ts000001.pl on server)

Change:

	if (!defined @Filelist ||							# an error occured
		 $#Filelist < 0)
		 
To:

	if (!@Filelist ||										# an error occured
		 $#Filelist < 0)


Change:

		if (!defined @Filelist ||						# an error occured
			 $#Filelist < 0)

To:

		if (!@Filelist ||									# an error occured
			 $#Filelist < 0)
			 

Actinic V11 and below also needs changes

PXMP.pm

Change all (5 instances - may be less places if below V11):

	%{$pNode}->{_TAG}

To:	

	$pNode->{_TAG}

Thanks Norman, Perfect that has sorted the issue

P.S I couldn't patch SEARCH.PM as none of those strings appear in that file in my V9, not even parts of it

[NormanRouxel]

Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like the patch to Search.pm is only needed on SellerDeck V12 and later. I've amended my post #3.

Looks like I still have an issue with Paypal, but not checked it out yet, just had a call from someone trying to use the paypal option and has said an error message came out so will post back when I have checked it out

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

Seems it if effecting all card payment not just paypal

Also MOTO payments are going through but when I download no payment confirmations are being downloaded

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

Just tested the site myself you can proceed through checkout until you have selected the payment method i.e credit card, but clicking next just hangs

this is displayed in the address bar

It also fails the TEST in advanced network settings

Could it be related o the Perl Modules



Perl Environment

Perl Version	5.026003

Perl Modules

Digest::MD5	2.55
ActEncrypt1024	Not installed
Exporter	5.72
File::Temp	0.2306
LWP::UserAgent	6.34
Crypt::SSLeay	Not installed
CGI	Not installed
CGI::Carp	Not installed
Archive::Zip	1.60
Net::SSL	Not installed

Seems to be several modules not installed

[Mike Hughes]

Could it be related o the Perl Modules?

I suspect it could be. Even V18.1 got hit by the Crypt::SSLeay and Net::SSL modules not being installed as part of the latest perl updates.

Sellerdeck are supposed to be working on a fix and are looking for servers with the problem they can test the fix on.

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

Do you think a helpful webhost would be likely to be happy to install those modules or is it considered a security risk

Any idea if ActEncrypt1024 is also needed

[Mike Hughes]

A helpful webhost might be willing to install those modules. I can't think it will be any more of a risk than the older versions of perl that have them installed as standard.

I don't think ActEncrypt1024 is needed any more:

ActEncrypt1024
The binary version of the functions used for order blob encryption. It makes the order recording (last checkout phase) quicker on old servers. However it is not necessary and on the majority of servers will not improve the existing performance, however if already installed will not impede performance.

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

The webhost has said "I can confirm these are installed, so investigating further."

Then a little later "Unfortunately, I have verified there is an issue with some of the modules and the patch to fix this is pending with no ETA."

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

Reply thos morning when trying to get an idea when something might be done

"Unfortunately not, in fact there are recommendations to use different modules instead so it's not clear the patches will make it to production."

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

The host has now asked

"Are you sure you actually require these modules for the script to work as the underlying things such as LWP::UserAgent supports other methods of SSL/TLS."

I think I might have to wait for the fix on the other related post https://community.sellerdeck.com/for...-v18-1-warning

Hi all.

With regard to the Crypt SSL and Net SSL issue, we believe we now have a fix for this that uses current Perl modules. However it really needs to be tested on some real-world hosting where the issue was encountered - rather than our own, or something we have configured artificially for the purpose, or even clean hosting from the same host that may not have the same setup.

If anyone here would like to test the fix, or could share some space on some affected hosting, please direct message me - thanks.
