GREAT! That's why we use Arastta!

It works now, there was an extra if there.

Hi Neil,

If you're talking about this issue, I've heard about but had no time to check in details.

Is there any solution available out there?

Regards

Hi, yeh pretty much. But like Q says its not a cloudflare issue although it may be affected too.

Essentially a lot of hosts have dropped support for OC v2 because of this and OpenCart doesnt seem to care as all the issues raised are closed and posts on forums ignored.

I havent checked for a solution for a week or so as Ive been busy but I can only see this as a massive plus for you guys if you sort it. I resell hosting so I and many others would then be recommending Arastta and not OC when hosting with us.

Also it seems you guys want to be more community led and listen to the people that can make this software great and popular.

I will however have another quick search for a solution and report back here if I find one.

Ta

Neil

Qphoria have an idea:
https://github.com/opencart/opencart/issues/3062

It seems JNeuhoff has plans too: http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=135248&start=80

He says in the post that the api should be called directly without having to use loopback requests. As you can see Q says 35% of his customers cant support v2! He also says he doesnt understand why the hosts dont allow them and I have been told it is a security issue because loopbacks can be either hijacked or misused it could put huge strain on servers and bring down all the websites running on that server. Thats why its only shared hosting thats affected. If you have a VPS or dedicated server it wont matter.

Perhaps you could link up with JNeuhoff and implement the direct access to the API?

Technically, with Arastta, you can get the instance of Admin or Catalog application whenever you want, just like with Joomla. So there is no need to make a cURL connection to run a Catalog task from Admin. Have to test this first...

Guys, this issue has been resolved and will be available in Arastta 1.0.6

Feel free to test and reply back

This is great news! That's why we love Arastta and Arastta differs.

Actually I have now managed to test this and Im still getting the syntax error when adding an order in admin. This was one of the symptoms of the loopback issue.

Have you uploaded the GitHub version or the 1.0.5 one?
