Cron Job does not Run but does Manually

19 May 2013 - 12:27 PM

Here is a tip that may help you keep your hair for a few more years.

You set up a cron job and it gives an error such as

Parse error</b>:  syntax error, unexpected '{' in

Then if you run the same script from the command line it runs perfectly.

Naturally enough you are a little confused!!

Try running a script containing just this code

<?php
echo 'My PHP Version: ' . phpversion();
?>

and then run it manually and using cron.

In my case with a 1and1 server, cron was runnng version 4.4.9 and the site 5.4.14.

The reason for the error, in my case, was that the php command try is not available in the version of php being used by cron.

Skip Shipping Page

01 April 2013 - 10:51 AM

Welcome to the osCommerce Skip Shipping Page add-on.

There are various reasons you might want to skip the shipping page.

This add-on is written to skip the shipping page if the basket total is zero and the total weight is zero. You can amend these rules to reflect your requirements.

Your first shipping method will be "selected" for the order and be shown on the checkout confirmation page but you can add code to hide that if you wish.

You can see this in action at www.theukwaltons.co.uk by adding items in the how to section to your basket and checking out.

Only 1 edit to implement this feature.

The add-on is available at Skip Shipping Page.

PayPal Hack Detector - Support Thread

23 March 2013 - 02:09 PM

Welcome to osCommerce PayPal Hack Detector.

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8730

In the ever-decreasing world of Internet security, web servers are fast becoming a target for spammers and authors of malicious code to spread their nasties.

One thing they do on hacked shops is change the Paypal account in the database.

Then all the payments for your shop get paid into their account.

This add-on checks to see if this has happened and disables the payment method if it has.

Just to help you out, it then sends you an email telling you this has occured.

Just 1 file to edit, should take less than 10 minutes to install.

Are All Your Index.php Files Hacked?

12 June 2012 - 08:49 AM

Ran into an interesting little hack on a 2.3.1 site.

The customers site has a shop installed in a sub-directory called shop and all of his index.php files had code added to them. Just a little matter of 15 of the little bu**ers.

Checking the access logs I found this, the real script name has been changed to ascriptname.

91.224.160.132 - - [03/Jun/2012:09:30:36 -0500] "POST /ascriptname.php?-d+allow_url_include%3d1+-d+auto_prepend_file%3dphp://input HTTP/1.1" 200 82 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/11.04 Chromium/15.0.871.0 Chrome/15.0.871.0 Safari/535.2"

A file called rytwi.php was created in a download directory at this time.

The next entry in the log was

91.224.160.132 - - [03/Jun/2012:09:30:37 -0500] "POST /downloads/rytwi.php HTTP/1.1" 200 13 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; ja-JP) AppleWebKit/533.20.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.4 Safari/533.20.27"

A little change to the .htaccess in the site root directory should fix it!!

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww-perl [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} tool25 [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} cmd.txt [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} cmd.gif [OR]
