No. Sorry.

The article form 2012 is still completely valid. If you are using the Foundation skin then take a look at the official docs combined with our support article. http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/v/5.5.3/

That's your problem. Please see: https://www.cubecart.com/hosting-requirements

I think if SSL is switched on the admin side forces SSL. It's stored in the config array in the CubeCart_config table. ssl needs to be set to have a value of 0.

Is SSL enabled? If so turn it off before exporting the database. I can't remember if v4 detects paths or not. If it does it may have a problem with the username style path. Maybe you can setup http://localhost/shop instead?

The best place to get technical support for CubeCart is directly from us. We are the only source that knows CubeCart inside out and back to front.

Hosts can make these changes without letting their clients know. The more the browser caches and for longer the less hits on the server.

I'd change; ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 day" to; ExpiresByType text/html "access 0 seconds"

curl_exec is the most favourable way to communicate with remote servers. fopen is not recommended. You need this enabled as it is used for everything from reCaptcha, CubeCart version check to taking card payments.

It can be really tough to solve. However you could debug this by changing this line https://github.com/cubecart/v6/blob/master/includes/lib/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php#L74 to: $request->skiplog(false); will show the request and response in the request log in the admin control panel of your store. You may need to enable allow_url_fopen in the MultiPHP INI Editor of WHM.

You sure can.. just add the code to the templates/content.homepage.php file.

Ask the hosts I'd say. phpMyAdmin is a database tool which isn't relevant to this.

Thats not a good idea and could be why you have this problem in the first place. Please only do a fresh install or upgrade an existing store. If you are importing the database from a CSV file via the admin control panel that should be fine.

Increasing the GC max lifetime on the php.ini file may help.

Hopefully.

CubeCart successfully detected the amounts were incorrect but it shouldn't have updated the order status.. I'm checking the code..

When you add/edit a product in the options tab. Select the option you want to assign, click the green + icon to add it and repeat. Once all the options you want show in the list above it click save. Reference our demo store. It might help show you.

Welcome @spree, it's great to hear your positive feedback! Best of luck with everything.

Are you using 1.0.7? https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/payment-gateways/paypal-standard 1.0.7 checks the value matches before changing the status.

Did you ship the products?

Log out of the admin control panel and you'll see the front end as a regular visitor.

The demo store used Maria DB 10.0. It will be fine.

Yes it should be fine with PHP 7.1 and mysqli.

Great!!
