Now when entering anything at all in the Coupon form field (correct code or anything else) the page refreshes to an internal server error message 500: the page address being called is: option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout&task=step&Itemid=110 (last numbers depend on the product category of the item at the top of the cart list). Thereafter the only way to get the Checkout page to display again is to use the back button a couple of times to return to the stage before going to the checkout page - empty the Cart completely and start again - without doing this any attempt to reach the checkout page (normally at "option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout") defaults to the same address that created the first error i.e. "option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout&task=step&Itemid=110". If Coupons are left unused the checkout performs exactly as it should. Hope you will be able to tell what the problem may be. Thanks Chris PS I think you have a great product here!

Now when entering anything at all in the Coupon form field (correct...")* Hi Chris, I actually just tested to enter a coupon on our demo website as well as on one of our test websites and couldn't reproduce the problem. So, it seems to be a problem which might only happen in some cases. Could you provide the URL of your website so that we can have a look at the problem ? We might be able to find a clue.

There seems to be a fatal error occuring for some reason. Could you check your php error logs ? If you don't know how to access them, you could ask your hosting company. That will tell more information about that error, because with just a 500 error, trying to fix it is like shooting in the dark.

Now when entering anything at all in the Coupon form field (correct...")* Hi Nicolas, I logged in and find the problem with access to the cart is that I left one item in my shopping cart after the error occurred last - as I mentioned, unless one goes in and completely empties the cart the access error will continue. I have emptied the cart now - perhaps you could try again - place something in your cart and then click the link to go to checkout - all that should work until you try to add a coupon - 'loyalfish06' is set up currently as the coupon name. I looked at the server error logs and the only relevant entry I could see was: [Fri Dec 10 05:29:51 2010] [error] [client 81.155.221.240] File does not exist: /home/flyfuk/public_html/500.shtml, referer: [ www.theflyfactory.co.uk/web/index.php?op...&category\_pathway=60](http://www.theflyfactory.co.uk/web/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=1907&name=barbless-adams-dry-fly-&Itemid=110&category_pathway=60) Regards Chris Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8zMTkzLWVycm9yLXdoZW4tdXNpbmctY291cG9ucz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[chris711](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile")** - [![chris711's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/371-chris711) Less More - Posts: 96 - Thank you received: 4 - - 15 years 10 months ago - 15 years 10 months ago [\#3227](#3227) by [chris711](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile") Replied by *[chris711](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Error when using Coupons](/forum/3-bug-report/3193-error-when-using-coupons#3227 "Using latest version of software 1.4.0 I am finding the Coupon application is not working - it did work on 1.3.6 before the update.

Could you try to ask your hosting company for more logs ? Otherwise, the only solution I see is that you give us an FTP access to you website so that we can trace down the problem in the code.

Now when entering anything at all in the Coupon form field (correct...")* Hi, The problem seems to be fixed. Apparently, when you created your zones, you made a loop in the zones parent/child relations. And in one of the latest releases we changed the way we were loading the zones while refactoring a bit the shipping and payment plugins on the zone limitation. That created a loop in the new code resulting in that error. We changed the zone loading to avoid that loop and it seems to be back to normal.
