LINKPOINT MODULE / URL problems


epistemologyboy

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I've installed the Linkpoint module so that I can accept payments through cardservices. Seems pretty straightforward. I uploaded the module with the correct .pem file. Then I'm supposed to go to the Linkpoint admin page, again pretty straightforward. It asks me for the "ORDER SUBMISSION FORM URL."

 

Would this URL be www.mystore.com/catalog/checkout_confirmation.php ???

 

If not, then could someone please tell me what URL is? I don't think it would be checkout_processing would it?

 

What is happening is that after I click the final order button, the processing page comes up totally blank.

 

Also, what URL would i use for declinations?

 

Thanks

i've tried your suggestion, but i am getting the same results. i'm looking into the cURL file dilemma now to see if that has something to do with it. however, i don't think it does.

 

btw, what URL do you use for credit card declines?

 

thanks

I have the exact same problem, I use LinkpointMS1andMS2 and I've tried everything to not go to the blank screen. I realize curl is behind this. My hosting provider doesn't have php built-in curl support, however they do support curl. So when I enter the path "usr/local/bin/curl" into the lpphp.php file, it's unable to execute curl. Damn you linkpoint why can't you be simple like authorize.net!!!!!

Thanks for the reply greg.

 

I checked out the link but it's mainly for linkpoint basic. I use LinkpointMS1andMS2. All seems well, the pem file is setup correctly and lpphp.php is configured just as it should be. The linkpointms1.php is also configured correctly. The problem is a mystery to me. But I'll keep trying to figure it out. Eventually I'll find out what the problem is, if it is possible. I'll let you know if I come up with a solution.

Well, spent half the night figuring out this problem. It seems that the blank checkout_process page is due to cURL. If you notice all works fine up to the confirmation page, the data is processed up to that point. Problem is that it can't communicate with linkpoint. Which is why you get that blank page. Unlike authorize.net linkpoint sucks when it comes to trying to get your page to communicate with them. To get rid of that blank screen you will have to find out if you have curl support, that is if you don't have php built in curl support. Oh and openSSl which is a requirement for linkpoint. Then just open up the lpphp from the contribution, I got mine here http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,596, or grab the latest from linkpoint which i think is lphp.php under their download section, look for linkpoint php api. Then just put in your curl path, if you don't know it ask if your hosting provider has it and ask for the path. Upload the sucker and BAM! should work. I was told it worked for others. For me however it doesn't because I have no idea why. hehehe I'm going crazy now due to this irritating problem. Please someone unleash your coding kung fu and bitch slap this problem!!!

OK as to your words of irritating code. I want to blow up this Linkpoint Contrib. This thing has been a Pain in the Kneck for over 2 weeks now. Nothing has been resolved I have this retarded Cannot Execute Curl, well let me tell you my stomach is about to Hurl if this problem is not solved fast so curl will not mean anything.

Coding KungFu yes and lets smash this contrib I have deleted and reinstalled this thing more times than one can count and is it working yet.... DUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH not Im losing the last 3 hairs I had and one nerve. Forget the KungFu someone please Labotomize this code and make it work pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Seriously we cannot get a reply from the remote LPT server for some reason we are not linking to it....... Please if anyone has a suggestion HELP................

 

 

Thank you,

Signed One Stresssssssed out guy

Two weeks is not bad though with Linkpoint.....

 

Seriously, have you been first testing with lots of debug output using the command line test scripts that linkpoint provides. Alot of error messages regarding connectivity can be resolved there. (i.e. ports being blocked etc.)

 

Your firewall maynot be allowing access to the SSL port that linkpoint establishes at connect time. This one did me in for a few days.

 

HTH

I finally found out the Problem Andrew had placed a patch on the site and he and I talked about it this morning. Finally after 2 weeks and the solution was so simple I wanted to slap myself for not knowing it........

 

LOL

Just a note that the Basic contrib only works with SSL if you have an SSL certificate for the domain, IOW, if you are on a shared SSL server, it will NOT work. This is because you have to force cookie use, and in order for osC to keep persistent session info the cookie domains and paths between plaintext and SSL must be the same.

 

Solutions to this are obvious, either get an SSL cert, or use the API. I opted for the latter. But it took me about 2 hours to debug the contrib to get it to work. Apparently LinkPoint has changed their XML schema (a few field names to be exact), sprinkling the code with debug printouts helped tremendously.

 

I have posted a patch and Gotmallz has installed it and verified that it worked for him as well.

 

LP is a PITA to setup, but according to what was posted here, it works better than AuthorizeNet.

I also experienced this error. I literally called LPT and had them email me the correct files and added theirs into my LPT catlog replacing what was there seems they have changed somethings in their files.......

 

This totally relieved all my errors...

 

Hope this helps......

 

If this doesn't email me and Ill look at it for you from the outside to tell you what needs to happen....

Thanks for the answers... I think there are some things missing in my LinkPoint Admin. I'm waiting to hear back on a support ticket I opened- if not, I may shoot you a PM Gotmallz- thanks for the offer of help! I'm at my wits end trying to make this work. :(

Sorry to but into this thread.

 

Im installing the linkpoint mod for a friend, we are using a third party processor as we dont want to have to use an SSL and all that stuff. But on setting it up, i notice that the person has to input all the CC data at the store. We are using the MS1_MS2 mod in the contributions, is there a way we can do this by sending the client to the linkpoint server and if so is there a mod for it??

 

Or are we going to have to get a SSL certificate?

 

Also getting lots of problems, but I think thats down to Curl at present.

 

So can someone tell me the best and easiest way to go to use this mod?

 

thnx
