Paypal Setup Not Working

[Battlespace]

I have tried to test my Paypal settings with the API values (tried both production and sandbox settings). If I click on the "Test API" from within Admin, all I see is a blank page and a "Waiting" message in the tab title of the page (it called this php: /catalog/admin/ext/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_express.php?action=test). I've waited several minutes and nothing ever happens.

 

This is also true if I click on the "Checkout with Paypal" button from the shopping cart (which calls this php: /catalog/ext/modules/payment/paypal/express.php).

 

Is there a log somewhere I can check to see what is happening? I have setup the Paypal based on the detailed instructions found in another thread on this forum.

 

Thanks,

Brent

After watching the Apache logs when I click on the Paypal button, I see these messages:

 

The system cannot find the path specified.

'METHOD' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

'PAYMENTACTION' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

'RETURNURL' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

'CANCELURL' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

 

It doesn't show the path that it can't find. Any idea what is causing this?

Perhaps you have imposed a severe access restriction, such as password protection, whilst getting set up. Your website, and the Paypal server, need to be able to talk to each other. Failing which, PP error messages cannot get through.
