ISSUE RESOLVED:

For the benefit of anyone encountering a similar problem, try the steps that follow:

– Go to cPanel
– Open File Manager from Files section
– Navigate to domain folder
– Check “Perms” column on far right hand side
– Files should be set to: 0644 (this is the UNIX file permissions)
– Folders should be set to: 0755

This will change your file permissions to their proper settings for the Bluehost file system. Additionally, if you have PHP code within.htm or .html files, you will need to add an additional Apache handler to tell Bluehost to parse these files as PHP. Do this using Apache Handlers in cPanel:

HANDLER: application/x-httpd-php5s
EXTENSIONS: .php .htm .html

in catalog/model/checkout/coupon.php
change:

Code:

  public function getCoupon($code) {

to

Code:

 public function getCoupon($code,$noverify=0) {

AND change

Code:

       if ($status) {
             return array(

to

Code:

       if (($status)||($noverify)) {
             return array(

Next, in catalog/model/total/coupon.php in the confirm function right near the bottom change

Code:

    $coupon_info = $this->model_checkout_coupon->getCoupon($code);

to

Code:

    $coupon_info = $this->model_checkout_coupon->getCoupon($code,1);
