phi148 10 Posted January 6, 2019 Anyone else having problems with UPS being down? I can't reach 153.2.228.50 which is hard coded in the UPS shipping module.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phi148 10 Posted January 7, 2019 I think I just have a super old UPS shipping module that finally bit the dust... probably due to the fact that UPS doesn't support older versions of TLS... I switched to UPS XML and that works. I'm sure there are others that may be using the old one... they'll figure it out soon enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 7, 2019 Oh no! I'm in the same boat. Can you tell me what you installed/did to deal with this? Thanks, Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 7, 2019 Working on it now... installing XML version. Has a lot of features I don't want... and I'll need to fix the Ship Estimator also. Ugh... progress. LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yungi 1 Posted January 7, 2019 Is there a newer version of this UPS module (that's not the XML version)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 7, 2019 Just now, yungi said: Is there a newer version of this UPS module (that's not the XML version)? Good question. I don't know the answer.. the XML wasn't horrible to install. I'm still modifying it to remove certain things but overall, I think it'll work. Can I ask why you want one that isn't XML?

yungi 1 Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) the XML UPS module requires an UPS account number. and the XML version is slower Edited January 7, 2019 by yungi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 7, 2019 Interesting... I created an account number online for free and generated the access key easily. What are some other solutions? I'd like to hear more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yungi 1 Posted January 7, 2019 I also like to have 2 working UPS modules in case one goes down... like today. XML version goes down too sometimes. They use different servers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 7, 2019 I agree with that way of thinking! Maybe some here has an idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ugh... progress. LOL. Hi OldPete - what steps did you take to switch to ups XML? I have an oooold osCommerce install (2003) that has the old HTTP ups.php module installed. Other than setting up an account for an access key, Do I just replace the ups.php code with the upsxml.php code? Where did you make config changes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 7, 2019 I replied to your message. I did this: https://apps.oscommerce.com/z6l1O&upsxml-version-1-5-for-oscommerce-2-3-x I set up an account with UPS (free) and then was able to get the access key, etc. I also run an old osc.

yungi 1 Posted January 8, 2019 non-XML UPS server back up and running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 8, 2019 Really?!?! Ok... going to try it now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted January 8, 2019 Thanks for the heads-up yungi! Yup... the non-XML is back and up running. That was an interesting lesson in UPSXML. 1 yungi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phi148 10 Posted January 10, 2019 I haven't noticed a change in speed since switching to XML. I think it boils down to personal preference. The XML module is nice in that it should be more accurate based on the fact that it takes L, W and H into account and ties directly into your own UPS account number and negotiated rates. Probably best practice to get both versions working so you can switch easily should this happen again. We lost some sales because of it 1 yungi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted April 20, 2019 Looks like UPS is having trouble again... or is it? Last time I went bonkers implementing the XML version of the module... only to have the original one come back online and work. Now it appears that it is down again. Anyone know what the story is? I have the XML version still on there, but it would need to be repopulated with the passwords, etc. Before I go bonkers to get all the data that I need... I was wondering if anyone here knew anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldPete 2 Posted April 20, 2019 Ha. I just reinstalled the XML and it works... so I guess that'll do it until the other one starts working again. LOL. UPS is such a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
