Attention

If your Photo Cart is suddenly getting a 500 error or only displaying a blank page then you or your hosting company has updated the PHP (programming language) to PHP 7 which Photo Cart is not compatible with (and will not be compatible with) mainly because of the removal of the my_sql functions which are replaced with my_sqli functions. 

You would need to have the PHP version downgraded to 5.6 in order for Photo Cart to work. If downgrading the PHP doesn't work then you may have to update Photo Cart to the last version of 7. Download Photo Cart 7 upgrade files. Upgrade instructions.

Photo Cart was retired in 2015. Check out Sytist.

Just got this is email. A few months ago my ipn was acting funny and somewhere along the line paypal changed a setting on my account which disabled it. Finally got that part fixed it, I had to re-enable it on paypal's side.

Now I just got this is my email that IPN will only work with https as of Sept 30th 2016. So besides getting the security certificate added to my hosting account what do I have to do on the photocart side to change it over from http to https?

Merchants and partners use Instant Payment Notification (IPN) to receive notifications of events related to PayPal transactions. The IPN message service requires that you acknowledge receipt of these messages and validate them. This process includes posting the messages back to PayPal for verification. In the past, PayPal has allowed the use of HTTP for these postbacks. For increased security going forward, only HTTPS will be allowed.

To avoid any disruption of service, you must verify that your systems
are ready for this change by September 30, 2016

I haven't gotten that email yet. But after you have a SSL installed, in Sytist go to Settings -> Checkout & Payment and check the option for "Check this box if you have a SSL installed.".

Sorry about that, didn't pay attention to the Forum name.

In the setup.php file inside your Photo Cart folder, you would just need to make the changes in bold below (add s after http)

if(!empty($setup['photo_cart_folder'])) {
$setup['url'] = "https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/".$setup['photo_cart_folder']."";
$setup['secure_url'] = "https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/".$setup['photo_cart_folder']."";
} else {
$setup['url'] = "https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."";
$setup['secure_url'] = "https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."";
}
