Newbie-need help desparately :'(

[Guest]

:'( I have been working for over a month trying to get osCommerce 2.2MS2 to work with PayPal (installed the PayPal IPN 1.1). I went into the admin and installed the PayPal module. However, the directions say that I should have a checkbox to check. There are no checkboxes showing in my admin payment modules list.

 

The shopping cart works, the problems start when the checkout button is pressed. I get a file not found error.

You can check it out here: 8th Wonder Gems

 

I don't see a PayPal button just the regular Checkout button, which I would like to replace with the PayPal button since this is the only payment method I want to accept.

 

1. Where do I but the PayPal button code? On what page and what is the directory for that file?

 

2. If I change out the button, will that fix my errors?

 

Thank you for your help. I am so frustrated. I know there is something I am not doing.

has nothing to do with paypal, has to do with an ssl certificate not being installed on your site.

open your configure.php and set ssl enable to false

once you get and install your ssl cert then you can enable it again (a definite step i believe) however many with paypal dont use it

Appears that you are using Oscommerce team Paypal contribution.

 

Can you put the details that you set thru admin for this module.

Also I suggest you to first test it thru sand box testing.

I am using powweb hosting, if that helps any.

There are 2 PayPal Payment modules. I have tried one at a time and both

at a time and still get the same problem.

 

PayPal 0

Enable PayPal Module: True

E-Mail Address: (PayPal Email Address)

Transaction Currency: Only USD

Payment Zone: --none--

Set Order Status: Pending

Sort Order of Display: 0

 

PayPal (Credit Card/Debit) 1

PayPal IPN

Enable PayPal IPN Module: True

Email Address: (PayPal Email Address)

Transaction Currency: Only USD

Payment Zone: --none--

Set Preparing Order Status: Preparing [PayPal IPN]

Set PayPal Acknowledged Order Status: Pending

Gatway Server: (was set to Live, I changed to Testing)

Transaction Type: Per Item

Page Style: PayPal

Debug Email Address: (PayPal Email Address)

Sort Order of Display: 1

Enable Encrypted Web Payments: False

Your Private Key: (blank)

Your Public Certificate: (blank)

PayPal Public Certificate: (blank)

Your PayPal Public Certificate ID: (blank)

Working Directory: /tmp/

OpenSSL Location: /usr/bin/openssl

 

The private key and the certificates I did not know what to put in there so

I left those blank. :'( Could this be the problem?

 

I appreciate your help. I have read the osCommerce manual, and just

can't find the answer.

I know there is something I am not doing.

let me restate this. seeing as how it has happened with two modules (it will continue to happen until you resolve this)

 

has nothing to do with paypal, has to do with an ssl certificate not being installed on your site.

open your configure.php and set ssl enable to false

 

go to powweb and ask them for the proper way of setting up your shared ssl certificate, if you want to use it. else leave ssl to false.

:lol: Thank you so much. YOU ARE MY HERO! I set the SSL to false and it all works now. The only thing is that now there is a warning at the top of the pages:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /www/8/t/8thwondergems.com/htdocs/shop/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

How can I get rid of this warning? What do the user permissions need to be set to?

Never mind. I got the permissions figured out. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You are the greatest! Finally, after over a month, this is working. I still have it on the testing server, will run a few more tests, then change it to live. What a load you have helped to take off my shoulders! (w00t) :thumbsup:
