Since moving our Magento store from Hostgator to Rackspace the percentage coupon codes are no longer applying the discount. When you enter a coupon code it says the coupon code was applied but no discount is given. Curiously, if you change it from a percentage discount to a fixed amount the discount is applied.
I have made no changes to these coupon codes. All I have done is move the website from Hostgator to Rackspace. I cannot, for the life of me, figure our why percentage coupon codes would be affected while others would not.
Help!

Because the price of an active rule would be joined via sql...or call 'save and apply rule' from adminhtml

I need a coupon code in magento. But the condition is one user can use the code more then one time. But cant't get more discount then code discount amount.
Like admin create a coupon code of $100 fixed amount. But my first order total $70. So if I use this code I will get $70 discount. For next when I use same code, I want $30 discount. That process will go until I get full amount($100) of discount.
Is that possible in magento?

Yes, this is a bug in Magento (or some logic beyond my understanding). When Magento displays products on frontend, it checks if there are catalog rules for this date. And the date used for this check is your local, so in your case GMT+5. However, when catalog rules are being applied, it uses GMT date. So that means that you aren't able to apply rules until 5 AM.
The problem is in Mage_CatalogRule_Model_Action_Index_Refresh::execute() function. You will have to rewrite this function/class either in your extension, or via the local version of the file.
You have to replace line 121 here : app/code/core/Mage/CatalogRule/Model/Action/Index/Refresh.php
$timestamp = $coreDate->gmtTimestamp('Today');
with this line:
$timestamp = Mage::app()->getLocale()->date(null, null, null, true)->get(Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP);
After that you should be able to apply the rules.
I have added a shopwide catalog price rule of 20% on all products. This seems to work. However, for some reason after a re-index I have to reset this price rule time and time again. As most of my shop runs with automatic imports and cron jobs - I would somehow like to hardcode this rule in. So I don't need to reset the rule every time.
Also the fact that my price is tagged as special price is something I would like to get rid of. The price is just the initial price minus 20%. This is not a special offer - it's just the price how I want to offer it to my customers.
Up till now I haven't found a solution to my problem - or where to start. Suggestions would very welcome!
Use shopping cart price rules
admin/promo_quote/
And set the discount of 20% there. It will apply to the cart and you won't have to the catalog price rules every time.
If you need more fine-grain control, check out:

I created a Shopping Rule condition wherein my customers with products worth more than $50 in their cart is given 10% discount automatically.
Now, if the same user have a coupon code for 10% and he applies it, gets another 10% discount. This is a strict No.
I'm testing magento and wondering if anyone has a solution to add a condition to check the discounts be applied only once and not twice?
Magento default provide this type of functionality just check image
Let me know if you have any query
Kindly have a look the image showing the checkout details on my magento store. The subtotal price of 6929.82 is correct - to which a discount of 10% is to be applied. The discount amount of 692.98 is also correct. However I cannot figure out how in the world could magento calculate the difference of 6929.82 and 692.98 as 6321.94 .
Though I am using a custom theme but I have tried restoring to default theme and the result remains the same which tells that the problem is either in the backend settings or in the core magento files. Further into the calculations - application of 14% tax after discount is calculated correctly and added to the figure.
Can anybody help me out in locating the setting that is leading to this strange behaviour from Magento.
Looks like its a bug. See https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/2900/completely-incorrect-tax-calculation
Try the following solution
app/code/local/Mage/Tax/Model/Sales/Total/Quote/Tax.php
Line 144
if('cart' == Mage::app()->getRequest()->getControllerName()){
$address->setGrandTotal($address->getGrandTotal() + $address->getTaxAmount());
$address->setBaseGrandTotal($address->getBaseGrandTotal() + $address->getBaseTaxAmount());
} // if
Maybe there is Shipping&handling total is not displayed (amount 85.1). You can check all totals and their value through database, review sales_flat_quote_address table.
After a lot of searching for possible solutions I could not come across any full proof solution to my problem. Modifying the Core Magento files is also something I would not recommend unless and until you are very sure what all areas of your website it will affect.
The solution I have implemented is to set the catalog prices as "excluding tax" in Tax Settings and thereafter manually changing all product prices by deducting the tax applicable on them.
e.g Before Implementing the solution:
Tax Setting - Catalog prices include tax
Price of Item (as entered in product specification)- 100 {subtotal 86 + 14#14% tax}
After Solution
Tax Setting - Catalog prices exclude tax
Price of Item (as entered in product specification)- 86
After implementing this I found the discount totals and everything was being calculated correctly. Since I had only 400 odd products I did it manually over the week just to be sure. However for larger number of products you can also run a query through phpmyadmin(etc) to change the values directly in the database. Do remember to backup your DB before doing so.
