Help testing API and general questions

[Guest]

Hello:

 

I'm new to the community; I wanted to try my hand at designing my first shopping cart using osCommerce because I heard about its great flexibility.

I've gone through the mundane parts of the setup, and I'm attempting to setup my first payment gateway, Paypal Express Checkout.

I went through Paypal's instructions, created a user account with them, linked up bank accounts, etc.

 

I requested an API signature and provided the required information in osCommerce > Modules > Payments > Paypal Express Checkout.

My problem is that when I attempt to click "Test API Credentials", the website returns a 404 Not Found error.

More specifically, it states that "/shop/admin/HTTPS_SERVER/shop/admin/ext/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_express.php" is not found on the server.

 

How do I troubleshoot this issue? The files are all there on the server; is it a permissions issue or something else?

 

Many thanks to all of your expertise; I hope to be a useful contributor one day (once I figure this out myself).

Best Regards,

 

Eric

I think I'm using an earlier version than you because I don't get a "Test API Credientials" button - but by the looks of it you have no DEFINE set for HTTPS_SERVER -- I'm not exactly sure where it gets set, but you could look around because HTTP_SERVER would be set somewhere.

Actually it looks a bit more broken than that -- yours has a whole section '/shop/admin/' preceeding the full URL -- that's just wrong.

Must be some bad coding somewhere - did you install the module yourself - perhaps you made a typo.

If there's a way for you to have all the website's current files on your computer somewhere, you could do a search through all the code (using a utility) for "shop/admin/ext/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_express.php" from that you'd have to find the file that generated that poor code and then you'd have to look at the code (or paste it here) and fix it.

 

Good luck
