Hi,

We did provide the Business edition to JoomlaMan when they asked for it a few months ago.
But your issue is not linked to your template.

If you get that error, it means that the request to your payment gateway for the credit card payment doesn't return a valid response.
Turn on the "debug" option of your payment method via the menu System&gt;Payment methods. That will give extra information about the problem on that page which will help understand what's going on.

Hi Nicolas. I followed your suggestion. I turned on debug in the payment plugin and ran another transaction. I got the same error message with no additional data. I called FirstData support and they said they are seeing nothing at their end. No data coming in, no contact with their server. So they have asked me for the complete XML string with header so they can see what hikashop is supposed to be sending.

Thoughts? can I give you admin access to the site and you can take a look at the setup? It did work before I upgraded to the joomlaman template.

Hi,

Thanks to give us configuration screenshots (don't forget to hide private informations).
And can you check in the payment log file in Configuration &gt; Main &gt; Files if any data is in this file regarding FirstData ?

Hi,

Thanks to the log that you provided I can see that you have the error:
This request requires HTTP authentication ().

So that's an authentication problem between the two servers.

Edit the file plugins/hikashoppayment/firstdata/firstdata.php and change CURLAUTH_BASIC to CURLAUTH_ANY and try again. Thanks to that modification the authentication system will try different authentication methods and hopefully it will work.

Please do not post the same question on several threads.
