RikR Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 1 one question. In the sandbox it saysWhat the heck do I do with these files? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ignore that. Quote Rik Rasmussen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikR Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) sunsetwebdesign, This may be wrong, but, I am guessing your Admin directory is password protected. You have put your key and certificates in that directory. I am guessing they can not be accessed. Try putting them in a folder that is not protected, but give it permissions that do not allow writing or reading. It works for me. I have a directory in my /catalog/ directory I named /pp/. I put my PayPal related certificate files there and gave it 700 permissions. Edited February 24, 2005 by RikR Quote Rik Rasmussen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuxion Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ok, figured that part out, got my Certificate ID. But when I try to check out (live) I get the following error: Some required information is missing or incomplete. Please correct your entries and try again. If I hit the continue button it takes me into paypal, where the entire transaction is lost. It is still in OsC though. Here is what I have in the admin panel: I finally get this far, had my fingers crossed and now this. What could I be doing wrong? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sunset, you said you figured out how to get your Certificate ID. How do you do it? I must be missing something obvious. Also, something jumped out at me when looking at your listed settings in the admin, and it may be the root of your errors. You listed the following: PayPals Public Certificate /hshome/user/sunsettemplates.com/catalog/admin/paypal_cert_pem.txt I believe that PayPal's public certificate has to end in .pem, so it should say "paypal_cert.pem" instead of what you listed above.

confuxion Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 another thing, sunset: Your Private Key /hshome/user/sunsettemplates.com/catalog/admin/sunsettemplates.com.key Your Public Certificate /hshome/user/sunsettemplates.com/catalog/admin/sunsettemplates.com.crt Were these 2 files something that you generated yourself via your server or otherwise? I figured out how to generate my paypal public certificate ID, but when I hit "download" after I added my ssl cert, I was given a file called cert_key_pem.txt. Should I do anything with this file? So confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukekim Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 My PayPal installation won't even post the correct data to the PayPal site, encryption enabled or disabled. This means that no values, or items are passed to it. Can anyone please give me a clue as to why this isn't working? Could it be my webhost or installation?

RikR Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 turn off the encryption. Get it working without encryption, then add the encryption. This will make troubleshooting easier. Quote Rik Rasmussen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikR Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Are you logged into the sandbox when you are sending transactions to it? You have to be for it to work. So, the payment module is working OK. It is apparently just an encryption set up problem. Are you sure the error message is from PayPal? Is it appearing on a PayPal page? Or, are you still at your url when you see this? Those warnings appear to be from osC, not PayPal. Quote Rik Rasmussen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeloftime Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Rik is right, those are errors from osC. I remember I had the same error messages at first too until I changed my key and temp paths to absolute ones. I am not sure if absolute paths are needed for the key files on every setup but it looks like the temp path is not correctly found you should start with changing that to an absolute path and see if that solves the errors and work back to change all paths to absolute ones until it works. So instead of the working directory be /public_html/store/temp/ it should read something like /home/httpd/vhosts/domainname.com/httpdocs/tmp/ which in your case will be different of course but you get the meaning.

I see the suggestion to use an "abosolute" path. I'm not sure what this means. :blink: I don't know if I mentioned it before, and if I did, I apologize for the wasted bandwidth, but my site is hosted by p4host. Does anyone else have their site there and are they or did they have the same problems? Oh, and here's a biggie that I think may be part of the problem to, how can I check to see if OpenSSL is on my server? and if it's not, how can I install it? Thanks!

Guest Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I have my commerce site, for the most part, customized to a point where I am satisfied. I'm having trouble getting the payment module set up. I have tried to install the osCommerce PayPal IPN Module with no luck. I have tried to install the PayPal Shopping Cart IPN 3.0 module with no luck. (I'm not even sure if there is a difference between these two modules. Looks like they accomplish the same thing) What I need is someone that will lend a hand in configuring this module. If you are willing to help via Windows XP Remote Assistance, please send an email to: oschelp@scaleships.com Thank you in advance!

RikR Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 What issues are you folks running into because the customer's shipping address is not sent to or displayed in Paypal? Quote Rik Rasmussen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedbooks Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 hello thank you for the effort it is a very clean and easy to install contribution certainly ahead of the other two paypal ipn . but i need to have order emails to be sent when the payment is completed. i was wondering what file i have to change to do this rather than it being sent when the customer comes back because he might not. now i have managed to have the paypal redirect the customer back as soon as they clicks PAY. Customer gets redirected back without having to click continue. question is if i do this am i compromising anything? is it checked to see if the payment is completed before the order email is sent or is it just sent out when the order is updated in the db? and my last question is now that this auto redirect is available with paypal i just use that with standard paypal module and have the customer redirected to checkout_process.php when i tried that everything worked also since customer does not have to click continue but redirected by paypal to the site of couirse the problem is if someone doesn't wait to be redirected what are the other problems with this module? i want to automate the shipping process and do not want to check for failed payments. and i also want to minimize fraud so i know that using the ipn is probably the best solution but i still have my original problem.

The hosting company I use has the wrong version of osCommerce. They have these scripts that install several types of software apps and the osCommerce they have listed says version 2.2 MS2 but it doesn't have all the options in the Admin area.(like, the "Display tax with products" option). I decided to download direct from the osC website and installed it to my directory. Then I installed the osCommerce PayPal IPN module with no errors. I plan to send them a firm email instructing them to upgrade thier software. I spent 20+ hours trying to get this module installed. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi there I have just installed the PayPal Shopping Cart IPN contribution on a freshly installed Oscommerce site, but when I process an order using PayPal the order total is not transferred over to the PayPal payment processing page. I have tried using this with the sandbox and with a live paypal account (for receiving the payment) and it's the same for both. Surely customers aren't expected to remember their order total when they arrive at paypal Any guidance would be very much appreciated - this seems as though it will be a very useful contribution if I can just get over this blip.

tedbooks Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) i am trying to have the emails to the customer and store owner be sent only when the payment is completed.and maybe a diffrent when there is a failure or pending result is recived from paypal via ipn. now the email is sent when the customer is returned. can i do this and am i correct in assuming that the changes has to be made in ext/modules/payment/paypal_ipn/ipn.php i am using 12 Jan 2005 - osCommerce PayPal IPN Module v1.1 For 2.2MS2or should i use the paypal shopping cart ipn contribution Edited March 3, 2005 by tedbooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
