WVSailor Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 The message occurs at my url while logged in to the sandbox. 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! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :'( The errors are the same. Is anyone familiar enough to help with the following errors? Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

wheeloftime Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Your urls have "username:" in them. I don't think you can have ":" in a url. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that your true email: sales@mydomain.com and your true path with 'username' inside ?? Look in your configure.php for the difference between a virtual and absolute (physical, logic) path. If you don't give the correct paths you will keep getting these errors. You can also find your absolute path by going to your admin->tools and choose Server Info. There you will find an entry open_basedir which will tell your absolute path.

Guest Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 But there is still an issue (indirectly) with this module. After clicking "Continue" at PayPal and being redirected back to checkout_success.php, the variable $products_array does not exist, so osC is unable to present a list of products for which to enable notification. Also, $last_order does not exist, so includes/modules/downloads.php is unable to present the download links. Any ideas on this one? Thanks folks. - Eric <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One problem I'm having is, I don't even get the Continue button... I click PAY, and then get returned to my site. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

tedbooks Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 that is because you have set the auto return in paypal to on and this would have the exact same result as clicking on continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for everyones help! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have not seen such reference to a path before and it seems pretty sure you should not use that as an absolute path. It looks like it is merged for paths to several parts of your site. Your host should be able to tell what is what and which your absolute path to your user directory in reality is. If I compare it to mine (home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.nl/httpdocs) yours must be something similar but probably shorter. The /home/username/public_html will then probably be the root for your domain where you go when you type www.yourdomain.com. References to absolute paths should then be like: /home/username/public_html/catalog /home/username/public_html/temp (which you probably have to create yourself) etc. The confusing thing is 'username'. To me it seems like there should be a real name in place of that but maybe this is how your host has set up things with the 'username' for everyone instead of something like /home/wvsailor/public_html Looking back to your previous post the reference to the different files would be: /home/username/ssl/private/mydomain.com.key /home/username/ssl/private/mydomain.com.crt /home/username/ssl/certs/paypal_cert_pem.txt and /home/username/public_html/store/temp/ but again, the part 'username' within the path and 'mydomain' inside your email address look more like a sample name as the real name for your domain.

I haven't bothered with it since and disabled the encryption part of the IPN to be able to go live.

AArg! I guess I should have taken better notes!) If under Admin>Modules>Payment>Paypal IPN I change Paypals Public Certificate to the paypal_cert_pem.txt I get an error about the following error at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr: Error Detected -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The email address for the business is not present in the encrypted blob. Please contact your merchant. Now, when I generated my certificate on my site, I used the email address "webmaster@mydomain.com". So, I guess the questions I have now are: 1) Which file from paypal should I use if any? or 2) Should I regenerate my crt/key using the "sales@mydomain.com", re-upload and get a "new" Publice Certificate & ID from PayPal I'm so confused and flusterated B) at this point! I'm gonna scream! hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikR Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Your key and your certificate can remain the same when you switch between live and sandbox. But, when you switch from live to sandbox you need to switch the PayPal certificate file and the Your PayPal Public Certificate ID. In other words you can upload the same certificate to PayPal's live site that you upload to PayPal's sandbox, but each will issue you a unique PayPal Public Certificate ID. So you have to just switch the number in your PayPal IPN module. Likewise, apparently PayPal doies not use the same public certficate for their live site that they do for their sandbox site. When I switch I also change the PayPals Public Certificate. I keep both in my certificate directory with different names, and just change the file path in the PayPal module when I switch from live to sandbox.
