after upgrading to VM 2.0.26a we are now getting a 500 Internal server error whenever an order status is changed to "Confirmed" status either via PayPal IPN or updating status thru the Virtuemart admin console. Checking the order afterwards, the status actually does change to "Confirmed" so must be some error that occurs after it updates the order status in the database.
Strange thing is that it only occurs if we have "Notify Shopper" ticked. But if we update status to another state such as "Cancelled" or "Shipped" with "Notify Shopper" tick it works fine.
This only started occurring since upgrading to VM 2.0.26a.
Can't see any relevant errors in log files.
Any ideas ?
Seems to be the invoice generation that's causing the failure.
If I change the invoice to be generated on Shipped status instead of Confirmed status, then the confirm status works fine but then get the 500 internal server error on the shipped status.
Any ideas of any changes in 2.0.26a that could be causing this ?
Maybe a server memory_limit issue. See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=120470.msg410892#msg410892
Thanks for the response.. But memory limit set to 128MB, so think this should be suffient..
Just to note our PHP version is quite old v5.2.17 (waiting for upgrade by hosting company to a later version) but previous version of VM we had installed which was 2.0.24 was working fine with this. So unless, anything introduced in 2.0.26a that requires a later PHP version ?
Could you please create a blank file
"/logs/com_virtuemart.log.php"
and try again?

cool... your a star !!!! After I created the log file "/logs/com_virtuemart.log.php" the invoice generation now works again. It was trying to report the following error to the log file thus must have beenfailing because the log file didn't exist
