General Problem on checkout_confirmation page

[Guest]

Somebody PLEASE help me make the paypal_uk_direct_1_1 module work.

 

If the payment method is Paypal Direct Payment UK, I always get this error on account confirmation “A general problem has occurred with the transaction. Please try again.”. Also, the error is not displayed inside the checkout_confirmation page. It can only be read from the url address bar as: “…../checkout_confirmation.php?error_message=Error%3A+A+general+problem+has+occurred+with+the+transaction.+Please+try+again.&osCsid=9165……..”

 

Do I need to install something else except for the paypal_uk_direct_1_1 contribution? Just asking because it only contains 2 files (+2 more language variations) and I really need to get the direct payments to work.

 

I have created a Sandbox account with one seller and one buyer account. Both are verified and I use the buyers details to make test purchases. My checkout process is SSL encrypted and my server has Globals enabled. Also, my PayPal Manager account (for Website Payments Pro) has been linked to the Sandbox account and I have set up the module correctly (I believe):

Please, tell me what am I doing wrong ????

PayPal requires the PayPal Website Payments Pro (UK) Express Checkout payment module to be enabled if this module is activated.

Express Checkout makes no difference. When installed, enabled and used it gives me the "Security header is not valid." error. I think that's because I don't have the API Signature. The trouble with that is I don't know where to get the signature from. I have the cert_key_pem.txt file and credentials with API username and password, but I didn't see any button or option that would give me the signature.

 

Anyway, it doesn't affect the direct payment module. I need some serious help coz I've been trying for three days now and I couldn't make any PayPal direct payment contribution to work.
