$7 Dollar Script Issue, please help

by Andy Money
9 replies
I tried posting at their support forum, but I have a feeling it's going to take a while to get a response, so I'd rather try to see if anyone here has any experience/knowledge of this problem.

I've just set the $7 dollar script up for one of my products.

Everything works until you get to the OTO page--then the download link at the bottom of the OTO page or the "Click here to buy now" button doesn't work--it just goes to a 404 page. The weird thing is my other installation of the 7 dollar script is doing the same thing, when previously, it worked just fine. Any ideas? I think it's my host but I have no idea how to fix this. It's Host Gator. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

    Things I'd check:
    - is the index.php of the script (the file that controls ALL the actions, including where the "links" go): is it the latest? was it corrupted?
    - are the template files at the path where they are supposed to be?


    The strange thing is that two links with completely different target do the same, though... because the donwload link (from OTO) should point to a template file and the buy button should go to Paypal.

    I assume "they" are your host.
    Actually, you don't need them to tell that because you can just look at the URL in the address bar to see where you are when the 404 is displayed.

    If it is in the wrong place, then check and double check the settings.php.

    For the other site that used to work and doing the same now... my only suspicion at this moment would be that something has been changed in the host server setup/settings that stops the script from working.

    Unfortunately, I have seen too many cases when the host company upgrades some of the software that run the server(s) and "forget" to let the clients know.

    Add on (since we posted in the same time).

    Not sure about the absolute link.

    By default the download page at the bottom of the OTO (oto.php in the templates folder) should be something like this:

    HTML Code:
    <a href='index.php?action=download&dl=1'>No, thanks. I will pass this fantastic offer and I understand that I will never see it again. Just give me my whatever..</a>

      You're right, but when I made it, "domain.com? in front of that, it worked fine, so it's a bit weird.

    I still think you have path issues... e.g. you aff sing up page is 404, too!
