On more than one occasion we have ran into the problem of setting up an X-Cart and configuring the shipping only to test it and get a few different errors. First we usually get a “No shipping methods found” error, sometimes it will list the shipping methods but it will still have the error, or you will have to choose which method you want to get them to display. After looking around a good bit we found a patch at the X-Cart Forums, go and search for it there and then follow the directions below.
In case you have never applied a patch before then you just have to use the following commands. The first two commands are just to create backups of the files in case the patch goes wrong for you. Type the following commands in from the root of your X-Cart installation.
mv cart.php cart.php.bak
mv ./include/cart_process.php ./include/cart_process.php.bak
patch < DIFF_30345.patch.txt
A few times with this patch it stopped halfway through and asked for the path to the cart_process.php file. If it does just type in include/cart_process.php and it should find it just fine. Again, I have to give credit for this patch to the X-Cart people and the forums. This post is just to give you a bit of a head start without having to do the footwork of finding all this info. If you didn’t sign up for the forums when you bought your X-Cart license I strongly recommend it, the community is generally very helpful.
Now we have our patch in place and we test our shipping again. Well now everything looks right and our methods show up without the error, we hope, but when you click a shipping option and continue you get redirected back to the same page and it tells you that you didn’t select a method. By the time anyone reads this the patch might be the standard but I think that this error will probably show up for a while. The error is in the shipping_methods.tpl file in the skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/ folder. X-Cart released a replacement file to us when we submitted the bug report. If anyone needs this file and can’t find it then please email me and I will send it to you. I am in the process of asking for permission to post the file here on my blog so that you will be able to download it directly from me.
These are a couple of common problems that we have faced on more than one occasion. If you have any more questions post a comment and I will try to help.

I removed the file since it is X-Cart’s patch and all. You can find it in their forum if you need it though. If you have trouble finding it in the forums let me know and I will see if I can get a link to the thread.
Thanks

Hi,
Everyone who buys a license to X-Cart is given a login to the forums. So you do have a login if you have a license. You can go here, https://secure.qualiteam.biz/, and login with the email account used to purchase the license and they will give you your login.
If you don’t have a license you should seriously consider buying the license instead of using a stolen application. X-Cart is an good cart and is worth paying for. Also, it is hard enough to make it as a developer out here without people stealing licenses to cut throats on prices and take our business.
Not to imply that you are stealing but if you are then stop it!
If not then just login over there and get it real quick. It is easy to find.
I have a license, I will try to find the user login
My Windows installation had to be reloaded recently and I lost all the information I had about my X-Cart purchase, even the e-mail I used to register. I thankfully made a backup of my X-Cart on CD shortly before the crash but noticed the shipping methods bug you mentioned when starting to set it up again. Seeing as how I have no other way to obtain the needed patch, could you e-mail it to me? I don’t want my purchase to go to waste. Thanks you.
Hi Merlin,
I am sorry but I no longer have the patch. Since I have moved on to a different cart I got rid of all my X-Cart files and references. I am sorry but if you call Qualiteam(sp?) they should be able to recover your information and help you out.
Thanks
Tom
I have found a work around for the problem and it is okay now. I appreciate your time none-the-less!
