There is no login for UPS...
You will need to set up the custom shipping logic.
What do you have set up in the Shipping Settings of the manager?

In what loop of calculate_final_values do you wish to calculate the shipping? If zero is selected, shipping will never be calculated. If 3 is selected, then the tax is based on the pre-shipping subtotal. Currently, if either 1 or 2 is selected, then the tax is based on the subtotal of merchandise + shipping. Further refinements of this, along with discounts, are setup in the agora.setup.db and agora_order_lib.pl library files. 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Handling Charge to be added to all orders

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Custom Shipping Logic:
Use the custom shipping logic? If yes, you may still use the SBW module (perhaps some items are not appropriate for that module and you desire to handle these differently.) If Custom logic and SBW are both set to "no" then the "shipping" field in the database is the shipping price of the item. Hint: use a library such as custom/custom-lib.pl for extensive code and simply call the appropriate subroutine here. yes

@sc_shipping_logic = ( "UPS|||1|5.50",
"UPS|||2|6.65",
"UPS|||3|7.25",
"UPS|||4|8.25",
"UPS|||5|9.40",
"UPS|||6|10.20",
"UPS|||7|12.40",
"UPS|||8|13.05",
"UPS|||9|14.20",
"UPS|||10-14.99|15.30",
"UPS|||15-19.99|18.00",
"UPS|||20-|22.40");
$shipping_price = &calculate_shipping($temp_total,
$total_quantity, $total_measured_quantity);

if ($ship_st eq "HI") {
$shipping_price = &format_price($shipping_price /.62);
}
if ($ship_st eq "AK") {
$shipping_price = &format_price($shipping_price /.62);
}



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please enter the SBW (Ship By Weight) Shipping Module Information:

Use the SBW (Ship By Weight for FedEx/UPS/USPS) module? If yes, then the "shipping" field in the database is a shipping weight (instead of shipping price.) yes
Allow Shipments via which services: FedEx: no UPS: yes USPS: no
NOTE: Using the UPS interface requires that you be REGISTERED and accept the LICENSE AGREEMENT.
USPS API URL:
USPS API Userid: USPS API Password:
How do you wish to connect to FedEx/UPS/USPS? If perl is installed in a fairly modern way, then the LWP library should be present. If not, then the http-lib has been included here as a backup. If for some reason perl sockets have not been setup properly, then you should complain to your web hosting company to get with the program! If you get a ridiculous error like "Address Family Not Supported" then there is one last option to try and save the day. The lynx option allows the use ofthe lynx text-based browser to get the answer from UPS/USPS, if lynx is installed on your Unix host. LWP
Max weight per box (lbs.) If zero is entered, each item is shipped it its own box.
FedEx: UPS: 25 USPS:
Origination of shipments:
FedEx ZIP:
UPS ZIP: 77704 UPS Pickup: Customer Counter
USPS ZIP:

Well, if you want to use UPS to get the shipping calculation then you need to turn on the SBW module, turn off custom shipping logic, and set the orgination zip code. AgoraCart will take care of the rest.

HTH!

What is the URL to your store?

Instead of LBW try setting to http-lib...

Do you have the weights set up in the database for each product?

HTH!

It looks like you may have removed the default index.html file that was in the 'cart' directory. The one that is in there now is the wrong one.
The proper file shoould contain the following:
Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> </TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=agora.cgi">
</HEAD>


<script language="javascript1.1">
<!-- Hide
location.replace ('agora.cgi');
// end hide -->
</script>

</HTML>


Do you have any shipping methods selected in the payment gateway area of the manager???
What version of the cart do you have? I am not seeing things that I should be seeing. It looks like you don't have an 'cart/html/forms' directory which you should have if you have the current version of the cart...

You would need to back-up your files. Install the current version to a different directory from the current store. Then start to apply the information of the backed up files to the new store.
They do offer an upgrade service at:

Britten,
Well, it wasn't the shipping settings, it was the order form.
There were no shipping options on the page.
Once the shipping options were added, the shipping was calculated.

You have version 4.0 which is really old and many advancements have been made to AgoraCart since then.

HTH!
