Trying to set up ipn paypal... :'(

 

Installed the contrib, now step #2 of the 4-step OSC checkout process reveals a blank page. I've been trying to understand why to no avail for the passed 5 hours. Searched forums, searched paypal site, searched forms on paypal site, checked 'sandbox', check 'manuals' checked everything i can for the passed 5+ hours....learnt a lot of things, too bad none are related to my problem.

 

How am I to set up this paypal ipn module? Is there a tutorial somewhere, that i've totally overlooked? Do i have a incorrect configuration somewhere? Is that why nothing is loading? Did I not install everything correctly (verified it 4 times now, i think i did install it correctly)...what is this of a private & public key? If I didn't fill these sections out, would this be an explaination as to why my page isn't loading? What is the best way for me to find out, why my page isn't loading....

 

Here are the blank lines in my payments ipn module....

It sounds like the checkout_payment.php page ins't loading in OSC?

 

I'd say it sounds like you've made a mistake during installation. Restore to the back up of that file you made before you started, and review the installation instructions that alter that page specifically.

NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.

Ok, ill do that now. So in theory, after i install this contrib and in the event that it does work successfully, do i still need to learn / complete that stuff on private / public keys etc...

 

Is it all necessary?

Just about to uninstall the files and I have found the problem, I have two sets of files http and https. I updated http but not https...that is why nothing loaded. Great, something for the next person to avoid.
