Shopping Site problem

There appears to be a problem on the shopping site www.sota-shop.co.uk where a fatal error message is shown after completing checkout and the order confirmation is not sent to you. The order does go to the website and I receive it so do not try to repeat the order.

I am working with the hosting company to try to determine why this is happening and will try to get matters resolves asap.

Thanks

Now the hosting company have broken it.
I’d have a drink but I’m on the wagon for the next week :cry:

Wrong hammer…

I love it when this happens. I cannot tell you how many times I have been involved in fault resolution where the engineer leading the fix has broken something else and made it worse. Ho hum.

PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE: When you get the error message on checkout (Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpmailer…) do not resend your order, it is the glitch I mentioned above.
Your order HAS been sent and I will receive it. You will get a response when I manually intervene and force the confirmation to be sent.

The main problem appears to be solved however there is always a downside to any solution and the “Contact Us” facility has been removed while I sort out the conflict in the mailer.

You can always contact me by direct email (sota-awards “at” btconnect.com - do the obvious change) or the “email a friend” or “ask a question” facilty on the product detail pages work

Thanks for your patience

Once again I have a problem with the shopping site - caused by my own incompetence :sob:

I have the software designers on the case but it may take a few days to resolve, until then it is not possible to place any orders.

Once all is well I will update this message

The site is functioning again.
Slightly different but will be updated to a new layout in the next week or so

Thank you for your patience

I have to say Barry I like the new layout, it seems to modernise it from the old one

Well Done Tony

Thank you.
Shame I managed to crash it when I did the initial upgrade!
