CC problem

We tried today to use Authorize to see if CC part of the cart works but right after submitting CC we got the text error on white blank screen:



[COLOR=“Blue”]Key must be less than 56 characters and non-zero. Supplied key length: 97 [/COLOR]





From googling the error it seems to be some php encryption error…



Anyone can help with an advice? We copied whatever we have on the other website engine to CS-Cart, the authorize.net setup fields… Seems like we populated them ok. Not sure where the error is…

Transaction Key for Authorize.net?



Admin->Payment Methods->Credit Card->Configure



You can get one from your Authorize.net admin area

Not sure why you are listing this, I did this, I put in all the info. However, that is the error I get…

I don’t know why you’re getting this error but after using Authorize for several years I can’t see a php error being the cause unless you have modded a file and since you copied the information from another source you may have to create a completely new key for the current domain.



Go to your Authorize.Net account control panel and create a new transaction key.

In our authorize.net panel it does not create new keys depending on domain names, it just creates a new key… Since our old one still works on our current NON-cscart website, I don’t see a reason to generate another key as yet.



And as of modding files, I have not probed too deep, just cosmetic changes.

Well generating a new key takes 5 seconds… so you might as well try it out so you can rule it out as the source of the problem.

You are using the same key on 2 sites? That may be your problem. As far a I know Authorize.Net must be tied to a specific account.

Well, the paid support has stated that this message appears when in file “config.local.php” value “$config[‘crypt_key’]” is longer than 56 characters, which it was, I had no idea about length restrictions, perhaps they should comment it above the line…

Very strange I have no such issues with mine or any of my clients. My transaction key is 16 characters.

Mine is too, 16 characters. However, if you would re-read, please, you will find that I was not talking about the transaction key length but of a custom string that is used as a seed in encrypting credit card info for storage in the database rather than authorize.net access values.

LOL … Figure it out on your own buddy… Learn some manners when asking for help.

Teach me, teach me. You know everything, how fortunate!



You know, teach, I was told that one “please” in a post would not suffice, they were right. What is the next lesson?

You figure it out yet?

Not taking sides in your little scuffle, but he had it figured out two posts (counting his posts only) before you told him “LOL … Figure it out on your own buddy…”
