Re: Premature end of file

[David E Jones]

A good question for all errors like this is: is the error causing a  
problem that the user sees, or is it just something in the log?

In this case it is happening because the USPS configuration is not  
setup with credentials and such, but is enabled by default. The impact  
on the UI is that the estimates prices for USPS packages will not  
include the online estimate.

If it's not bothering you, do nothing. If it is bothering you then  
disable it by removing the store shipment settings for it in the  
Catalog Manager, or go through the configuration of the USPS online  
rate estimate.

You mentioned you are using the release4.0 branch, and this is true  
there and for more recent code as well (although the error message has  
been improved since then).

I am studying the book of "Apache OFBiz Development The Beginners  
Tutorial".
In page 31, when I clicked Submit Order, the Order Confirmation  
screen did
not show up and there was an error message "[Fatal Error] :-1:-1:  
Premature
end of file." in the console; I also saw the error message below in  
log
file. I tried different Shipping Method but still got error in this  
step.

Your help or suggestion would be appreciated. I am using the release  
4.0 of
ofbiz.
