[UNDER REVIEW] Error with Currency (non USD)

[Ronal]

Install Joomla 1.5 final.
Install the latest build of VM.
Go VM Admin -> Store -> Edit Store set Currency=Russian Ruble.
Go http://mysite/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53
and get:

Warning: fopen(http://www.ecb.int:80/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Bad file descriptor in z:\home\mera.by\www\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\classes\connectionTools.class.php on line 168

Notice: Undefined variable: errstr in z:\home\mera.by\www\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\classes\connectionTools.class.php on line 173

If Set Currency=USD - all OK.

That is the only thing you changed? I changed it but don't get any error.

[Ronal]

Yes, don't any change.

I use Apache/1.3.33 (Win32) PHP/4.4.4
May be problem in this.

[aravot]

Could someone with php4 check this, thank you.

[Ronal]

Try now on
Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8d PHP/5.2.4
and get fatal error:

Warning: fopen(http://www.ecb.int:80/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: in Z:\home\mera.by\www\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\classes\connectionTools.class.php on line 168

But then VM Admin -> Store -> Edit Store set Set Currency=USD , click Refresh and have not any errors.

ps: I installed VM with Simple Data. And I think so in an example data all price lists in USD and when I change the currency, VM tries to lead conversion, connecting to internet, but at it nothing turns out except for a mistake.

Are you on localhost? if so can you try it on remote server.

[Ronal]

Yes, on localhost
On remote server I can try only in couple of days.

Please, try you in localhost.

[Ronal]

I try on the remote server. All OK.
Errors appear only on localhost.

If you change currency when there are already products in another currency then VM checks the current exchange rate at www.ecb.int  - that can't work on localhost.

[Ronal]

Can I off this option (VM checks the current exchange rate at www.ecb.int) from admin panel because many currencies there are not present at www.ecb.int ?

Also in the list of curreces in VM there is no BYR (Belorussian Rouble). Could you add it.
