I have been trying to get the USPS Shipping module to work on my site; http://www.craigsbeardstache.com (http://www.craigsbeardstache.com) and have called USPS several times to finally get them to move everything to the production server. They sent me two urls; one for the production server, another for a secure server. Do I have to use both, or just one? If I have to use both, where do I insert the secure server url? I have a valid username/password and they are inserted into the shipping module. The shipping module is selected in both the configuration and the shipping module list. I do however, have the old usps shipping module on the list; should I uninstall it? I do not have any other shipping methods selected, do I need to have any more? I did not set any shipping rates in the shipping section, but designated usps as a shipping method.
I keep getting an error when it goes to selecting a shipping method in the cart; see attached file.
I designated all dimensions and weight for each product as well.
My current setup is:
Joomla version: 1.5.15
Virtuemart Cart version: 1.1.4
Server location: Go Daddy
USPS Shipping Module version: v4.2 supporting USPS API v3.
Please help me with this, I need to complete this project.
Thanks

Hello,

Please select a Shipping Method!

I'm using joomla 1.5.10 and VirtueMart 1.1.3 stable
USPS Module: 4.2 Chaz Mezan, Corey Koltz, VM Community www.usps.com/ N/A The USPS Shipping module v4.2 supporting USPS API v3.
Can someone please provide some help to resolve this issue?
Thanks.
I am getting the exact same error also.
I have called the USPS custoemr support & they say my account is active on teh production server & everything is OK on their end.
Does anyone have a solution for this error?
I found a solution for my error.
I had upgraded from the USPS Module 4.1 to the 4.2 version. The upgrade instructions required replacement of just the "uspsv4.ini" and "uspsv4.php" files.
After I also replaced the uspsv4.cfg.php file the module worked again & I got shipping quotes returned from the USPS website.
Hope this helps someone else. :)
I just did what you suggested and it looks as if it is working.
When I ran the De-bug before I got the error message:
Debug: The Shipping Module 'standard_shipping' couldn't
find a Shipping Rate that matches the current Checkout configuration:
Weight: 0.8999
Country: USA
ZIP: 10502
By the way there is now a USPS Module version 4.2.2 now available at:
