"First, I am currently assuming your problem is still with the installation and not the operation of it, correct? "
Yes
Noted.
delia:
"you also stated that you made the same change as previously discussed to bypass this connectivity test during installation and it made no difference for you, Also correct? "
yes - but I'm not positive that i commented out the correct lines
BE POSITIVE.
THEN if you still have problems then get back to me and we can move on to the next step.
Shheeesh, this really has been a waste of time - You've had the answer to your installation issue all along, but because you badly implemented it, and even took offence when I suggested it as a possibility) we've simply gone around and around in circles.
There really was no need for this, because rather than admit (even to yourself) that you did a bad fix, you proudly stated in your original posting
"Tried that and it made no difference What can be causing this?"
Which I, and I'm sure most of us would have taken to be "succesuffly applied the fix and it made no diference", rather than the more factual "I don't tjhink I applied the fix correctly, but that wouldn't make a difference would it?"

Those numbers refer to the function _get_error_cost in my file.
How nice of you to mention this NOW.
Seriously, didn't you consider it important or even strange.
Oh, I just found that origianl post, which reads
" Somewhere around line 552 is a line that reads // version check / network check. Comment out the next 5 or six lines (down to and including the first/next closing brace "}"."
You call yourself a developer, yet you can't even do this correctly?
delia:
as a zen cart module developer,
I shudder to think. Honestly, the ozpost module contains several methods, one of them being _get_error_cost. another called _check, and yet another called _install.
You were trying to fix an install problem, why on earth would you think that doing stuff to the _get_error_cost function would be the right/logical thing to do?
Did you even find the text "// version / network check"
If you want to fix your install problem, then apply the fix to the _install function of the code.... The line numbers may not match which is why I said 'around line so and so' .
delia:
Hey, and yes, I make mistakes - but so does everyone else by the way
Yes, but few of us will make a mistake, ignore/deny the possibilty of doing so and expect there to be a different fix for the same problem.
If this statement wasn't true we wouldn't be having this 'conversation', and your installation would be able to procede without cURL functionality.
delia:
I'm not saying a didn't make a mistake but I don't see where.
Surely it is blindingly obvious now????????
Alas, I don't think it is.... the mistake you made was messing with the _get_error_cost function rather than the _install function.
It has been like getting blood out of a stone with getting enough information out of you to make this determination though, and I'll wager that you'll still be offended by my findings and conclusions. I'm sorry, I WISH I could tell you that you've done everything right and the code is wrong because that is the only answer you really want and expect.
Do you know what the real downer about all this is though? You have wasted so much of my time, and gotten me so frustrated at your thankless responses, that even though I have told you EXACTLY what you need to do in order to allow the installation to procede, I fear that faultfinding the real problem with you is an exersize I have no wish to inflict upon myself (The real problem being the inability of your cURL to connect to the ozpost servers). As a developer you really shouldn't have any problems faultfinding this on your own, but you haven't given me much confidence in this regard, so I ask one thing of you, if you do need my help again, please approach me as a learner rather than someone that knows what they are doing. I am more tolerant towards learners (they don't take offence when told or suggested that they've done something wrong).
