Oscommerce V2.2ms2 with PayPal IPN v3.0a

[Guest]

:thumbsup:

 

I have modified the standard oscommerce installation files that you download from oscommerce.org to include the newest paypal gateway that "always" completes the transactions and does not have the problems associated with the standard paypal module.

 

Simply follow the standard installation instructions like you do with oscommerceV2.2ms2, but instead remember that it is installing oscommerceV2.2ms2 w/Paypal IPPN v3.0a.

 

I have not edited anything else so that everyone here on the forums may benefit from my time as I have from theirs. I will be modifying it from this point on to suit my own person interests, but have taken the time out to hand this easy-to-use install over to the community.

 

Source files located: Download Link (English) (Linux Download code, but zipped on my windows workstation)

 

Step-By-Step Guide:

1)Copy the catalog directory to your web server's root directory

2)Open up your web browser

3)Type in http://www.yourdomainname.blah/catalog/install/index.php

4)Click Install

5)Enter in all of the info (oscommerce documentation covers this well)

6)You may encounter a problem at the end where it tells you to use chmod

7)Follow the error code directions if your permissions are not set on these files

8)Make sure to change the permissions back after installation is complete else you can get hacked easily by someone.

9)Log into your admin and then click on payment modules and then install the paypal module!

10) You're ready to do business!

11) For extra security you just might want to dump the install directory onto some client or secure server directory after installing everything.

 

If you have any quick questions please let me know.

 

P.S. devosc.com's html tutorial assisted me in implementing this. Thanks guys! Hope this helps everyone!
