Sendmail_from not set in php.ini - Please help newbie with OScommerce

[webmandman]

i get the following error message in a file i have to save by a prompt window when i click on checkout link:

 

PHP Warning: error_log() [<a href='function.error-log'>function.error-log</a>]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\Websites\ocdieselstore344\ocdieselstore.com\catalog\includes\modules\shipping\upsxml.php on line 795

PHP Warning: error_log() [<a href='function.error-log'>function.error-log</a>]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\Websites\ocdieselstore344\ocdieselstore.com\catalog\includes\modules\shipping\upsxml.php on line 1005

if i have to modify the php.ini file, i know this much, i don't have access to that file because i'm on a shared hosting plan.

 

what do you make of this error and what do you recommend?

UPDATE: i added this to the includes/modules/shipping/upsxml.php file:

 

ini_set("SMTP","smtp.myserver.com");

ini_set("sendmail_from","[email protected]");

 

BUT NOW I GET THESE ERRORS in the same file(upsxml.php):

 

PHP Warning: error_log() [<a href='function.error-log'>function.error-log</a>]: SMTP server response: 501 syntax error in C:\Websites\mydomain.com\catalog\includes\modules\shipping\upsxml.php on line 798

MORE TO ADD: when entering this page catalog/login.php?action=process to log in and the user doesn't exist i get the same error above.

when i go to checkout_shipping.php (if i'm not logged in) i end up at the login.php successfully.

when i go to checkout_shipping.php (logged in) i get the same error above.

 

error mentioned above: smtp server response: 501 .... in /shipping/upsxml.php

Until you fixed that issue with SMTP on the Windows server I would suggest turning the sending of emails off after an error in the admin section of UPS XML. Then it probably would be a good idea to set up an error log somewhere (upload an empty text file, rename it to the whateverthenameyouwantittobe.log or upsxml_error and make sure it can be written to by the webserver).

Then edit and uncomment the particular line in the shipping module upsxml.php:

		// to enable logging of just the errors, do as above but call the file upsxml_error.log
//		$this->ups_error_file = '/srv/www/htdocs/catalog/includes/modules/shipping/upsxml_error.log';

UPDATE: hey Jan, i did turn off emailing of errors yesterday. which was good because the site wouldn't bring up any ugly php error pages. but then i got the following shipping message:

Rating and Server 1.00001 ... blah blah...An unknown error occured while attempting to contact the UPS gateway.

 

then i uncommented one line in the upsxml.php file

~line 778: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

 

and now i don't get any errors, but SOMEHOW 15lbs are added to the ups quote. i found where the weight value is submitted to UPS, but did not find any hard coded "add 15 lbs" to weight. if you know what i mean.

 

Any suggestions????????????

Almost forgot to mention, complete checkout is possible now, and i can succesfully buy products, however, when i click on "CONFIRM ORDER" which submits orders to authorize.net and error came like:

unable to contact merchant.

Your transaction was successfully made.

 

and this page is not that pretty. plus there's no link back to my store or anywhere.

if i visit my store again and check my account the order is my history, plus the admin shows its pending as well.

OK, that makes sense. The infamous certificate error.

There is a hard coded value somewhere in the admin for that (admin->configuration->Shipping/Packaging->Package Tare weight.) You might have put 15 there.
