Shipping Methods – Current UPS Shipping Gateway and Outage Information

shipping-methodsups

I'm using Magento 1.7, and it uses the UPS shipping calculator at

http://www.ups.com/using/services/rave/qcostcgi.cgi

Since yesterday afternoon, it has been returning a 404 not found and this is preventing anyone from placing an order! I'm very surprised that the entire Magento community isn't on fire with this event… so maybe I just have an old URL that nobody is using anymore? Does anyone know if this service has been retired or if it is a temporary outage?

Best Answer

You simply need to update the UPS Gateway URL to use "https"

To change this setting, login to the backend of your Magento website and then go to :

  1. System > Configuration
  2. Click “Shipping Methods”
  3. Click the tab for “UPS”
  4. Find the “Gateway URL” setting and change the url from “http://www.ups.com/using/services/rave/qcostcgi.cgi” to “https://www.ups.com/using/services/rave/qcostcgi.cgi”.

I put together a quick video on how to fix it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNHQb3X7Lys&feature=youtu.be
