I have a site with a Paypal link (generated from the Paypal site) in a Freeway 4 site, and when the button is clicked on, the Paypal cart creates an error “Shopping Cart uploads can only contain one character set. For more information, please contact the merchant.”
This error is non-existent on a PC, or in Firefox Mac.
Does anyone know why or what it is?

Can you share the link so we/someone can look and see what might be the trouble?

Sorry I can’t.
I don’t want the URL with a problem associated to it be embedded in a forum for all time. It amazing what gets pick up on a Google search. 
(Now, if only the forum would only let you edit the post like other forums do!)
Please put that on a forum wish list!

Indeed.
Why not put the page into a location that’s only temporary? Make a
‘testing’ folder, or put it onto a different domain. I do that
regularly, and if someone tries to follow a link that’s no longer
current they don’t find anything; they get a 404 error or a redirect.

After looking at it again, the paypal button code linked to a custom button image file kept in the web hosting in a directory called ‘icons’. After renaming that directory to icon it worked successfully.
When looking at the directory ‘icons’, via a browser it shows a list of apache gif icons, so maybe some kind of conflict with the hosting system occurred? either way renaming both the directory and the custom button, stopped the problem.
(A search on the net brings up this Paypal error problem - but no definitive cure)

On an Apache server, icons is a reserved folder name, used to house
all of the file-type icons that appear if you have fancy indexing on
and navigate to a folder that does not contain an index.html file.
The actual folder is somewhere else, inside the apache source tree. A
line in the httpd.conf file (the master preferences for Apache)
“projects” this folder into every site root, kind of like an
invisible alias. I don’t know if it can be turned off, except by
someone with access to the conf file (like your host’s tech support
people). Best to do as you have, and name your folder something else.

Ooh, now THAT is something I didn’t know!
Any chance of whipping up a list of the reserved names for
Apache-based serving?

I can tell you the stock defaults, but any ISP can change theirs. It
looks as though /icons and /manual and /cgi-bin are the only three by
default in Apache 1.3. I’ll have to look at an Apache 2.2 machine and
see if there are any new things there.
The relevant part of the conf file starts with <IfModule mod_alias.c>.
