rubantin Advanced Member 112 Posts	Posted - 01/15/2026 : 08:56:52 Please close found the problem in includes.php... there was no path inserted $pathtocurl = "/usr/bin/curl"; and is working.. HOWEVER, now I am getting a "Invalid Authentication Information." for the UPS shipping??

There are some helpful pages about this by Googling . . . https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=curl_init not enabled This may well have a lot to do with your other problem.
