Adam,

I am going to suggest this code tells you that your PayPal account is not set up properly:


["L_SHORTMESSAGE0"]=>
string(94) "Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details."
["L_SHORTMESSAGE1"]=>
string(94) "Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details."
["L_LONGMESSAGE0"]=>
string(21) "ReturnURL is invalid."
["L_LONGMESSAGE1"]=>
string(21) "CancelURL is invalid."

Check your auto return settings in PayPal and ensure you are returning to the checkout_process.php file. Also ensure that if you use an SSL that your SSL is still valid.

Not Found

The requested URL /admin/HTTPS_SERVER/admin/ext/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_express.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
