I can logon using Chrome, but not Edge.

Ha ha... I got a security warning using the logout. Of course I tried it from a different browser I have not logged on to the store with in the past. |
However I was able to logon. -
I've spent several days trying upgrade from 6.4.5 to 6.5.1. Its been a mess and I finally gave up. I deleted the installation (saved the database), and figured I'd try a new installation. I uninstalled the existing installation using Softaculous. Even that was messy, but eventually I got it uninstalled and all remnants removed. (except the My SQL database.) My thought was I'd try to reupload all my image files and switch back to the old database after I had a latest version working installation. During the Softaculous installation it told me that I needed to be running a more current version of PHP. I went to the PHP manager and switched that website from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.1 and then proceeded to do a new installation of CubeCart 6.5.1 using Softaculous.
Finally it appeared to be working if I was in the business of showing pictures of cell phones.
Before making any changes to the global file database information I tried to check admin first. When I try to open the administration I get a logon screen. If I enter the correct user name and password, it just blinks and shows the logon entry fields again. Just to make sure I was entering the correct user name and password I tested by entering an incorrect password, and I got the expected incorrect credentials message.
I did check the global file. The adminFile variable and adminFolder match the admin file and admin directory names.
The two things that cause admin login issues I have found reported by others in searching are a mismatch between the global file data and the actual file/folder name, and running an old PHP version. Neither of these appears to be the issue.
My only other wild and crazy thought is that maybe its a cookies/time/persistence issue with the browser. If that's the case I would not know how to fix it. -

Thank you. That is exactly what I needed. I had found the content.404.php in my backup file (by doing a file search for 404), but not being a script programmer I didn't really know what to do with it. Knowing that it points to variables in the language files and that the language files were atleast partially editable in the cart script was just what I needed to know. I know have a much more suitable 404 error page.
Now to see if I can do something with the no shipping option output. I want to include a note that International sales will have to be processed manually.It looks like the shipping error message is accessible in a similar manner. Unlike the 404 message variable it does not seem to process html within that field. Not exactly what I wanted, but I now have a more suitable shipping error message.

CC645 will use a skin template (content.404.php) if it exists. If the skin you are using does not have this template, you can create it.
The existing template file has very basic code in it - essentially just a title and a phrase found in the language pack.
If you wish for a more elaborate page of content (which gets displayed within the CubeCart overall page layout), feel free to compose it.
You either edit the phrase (in admin, Languages), or use a Code Snippet to overrule the existing language phrases with something way more complicated.

Is there a way to customize the 404 page displayed within the CubeCart webstore?
Currently using 6.4.5.

I defaulted the settings on Edge and was able to use Edge or Chrome.
I also succeeded in swapping the new installation to the old database saving all of my products and most of my settings. For some reason I was not able to save any of the images, but fortunately I have them saved by product category in my local pictures directory, and have product category folders in the cart. I could go to images and then the appropriate folder, and copy them quickly two at a time by drag and drop.
Payment and shipping gateways/plugins were not installed, but when I added them all the settings were inherited from the old database.
Now the tedious process of adding images back to the products and categories one at a time. It's still a lot better than reentering all the products and categories one detail at a time.
I wonder how long Edge settings were screwing me up. Maybe it was part of the problem all along the way. It never even dawned on me there could be a browser issue until I had done every other possible thing I could think of.
