I belive that the lack of the enabled the mod_rewrite apache module cause you the problem. I use XAMPP as localhost emulator and works perfectly after modifying the httpd.conf file.

Thanks for the prompt reply. The only item I can find in the file is "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" which is enabled. that seems to be the only mod_rewrite item.

Still the same result

In the httpd.conf file you need to replace the AllowOverride None with AllowOverride All everywhere it occurs in the file. Once you have done with it please restart the apache server and the mod rewrite will be enabled.

That fixed it many thanks. Just need to sort out the billing now and it should be a goer

Happy to hear that you are on the way now

All seems to work well. I cannot howver get the system to link to payments.verisign.com.au/payflowlink which is the local gateway in Australia. I have amended the ps_pro.php file to show this address. I link to paypal with a message that the email address is incorrect. Is there another php file I need to access to change the parameters? Otherwise is there someone your end who could modify the php file for me? At a fee of course

Hi, if I understand your post correctly you have difficoulties to configure the Verisign PayFlow payment method. If you click on the name of this payment gateway selecting the shopping cart >> payment configuration >> payment gateways in the drop down menu you will see two tabs. The left one -called Configuration- you let you edit every required settings.

All you need to do is to open and change the database related variables in the configuration.php file which can be found in the root installation folder.

Hi, can you send me the ftp details of the newly installed script and the database related information as well via pm. It would be much easier to fix the problem.
Thanks
