Real Time UPS Shipping

[nconfer]

Alright, I thought I finally got everything installed and working and them WHAM :)

Well basically we have one issue left, and its a big one. The problem is we have been trying to install the extension php_mcrypt and have had no luck what so ever. Apperantly this is needed to sign up for the real time shipping with your cart (The rates option at the very right of the admin after you select the ups symbol).

Is there another way I can set up the real time ups shipping on the cart without having to use this extension, or can someone look at this if we give you vnc access. Thank you,

Nick

Hi Nick,

There is no way to use it without MCrypt. When you register to use their tools, a user ID, password, and something else I can't remember at the moment gets created. These are then used for every query the cart makes with their system. They require that this information be encrypted, hence the use of MCrypt.

I have never installed MCrypt, so I don't know how much help I can be in that regard. Are you getting a particular error message after installing it?

In some cases, you can load it at run time if you put it at the top of your cart page, like so:

<? dl("mcrypt.so");?>

Thanks,
Jamie

I'm having the exact same problem. Cannot get mcrypt to work at all.
