Major Shipping Error! Can't ship items using USPS

[Daniel.uww]

I receive this error when i get to the shipping screen of the checkout. I have the USPS method selected.


Fatal error: Call to a member function err() on a non-object in /home/howloutl/public_html/cart/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/shipping/usps.php on line 200


Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it.

This is a curl error.  Curl is a module that runs inside of php.  There have been issues in the past with Joomla sites running on GoDaddy servers.  If you do a VM search on curl, you will find many discussions, but go to the advanced search and run a search on VM 1.1 only for recent advice.  I don't know much about it, but this may help you get started in the right direction.

If you want to know if curl is enabled in your host's php, go to this path on your site(logged in as admin):
/administrator/index2.php?option=com_admin&task=sysinfo

...then click on the php tab.  In your browser, search on the word "curl" within this page.

Thx! I looked at that and saw that curl is enabled.

But what I did was install the USPSv4 shipping module......I now notice that our client has given us the incorrect account details so she can use USPS webtools, so I'll be waiting on that new info from her before I can see if this settles the problem.

Hi. I have the same error. I checked the sysinfo and it shows that curl is enabled. Is there another fix? Thanks

Hello,

I also am having the same problem.  I noticed that the problem started when I called USPS and asked to make my account live.

Thanks for the help in advance.

I was having the same problem. It was working fine and then all of a sudden I started getting the error. Then it started to work again after a few hours. Maybe it was something with the USPS server.
