Hi Satish,

I hope you don't mind me asking this question.

In trying to get PayPal Standard (with IPN) working I have seen multiple conflicting recommendations of what URL's are needed on the PayPal Auto Return and IPN URL's.

The three files I have seen mentioned are:

catalog/checkout_success.php
catalog/checkout_process.php
/catalog/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php

I trust your opinion over all the conflicting documentation and forum posts.

Which URL goes in the Instant Payment Notification (IPN)?

Which URL goes in Auto Return for Website Payments?

Thanks in Advance,
Tom

I want to install the latest PayPal module but think I might have a problem with my version of oscommerce. I'm planning to upgrade next year but need to get PayPal running with current system.

I am running an old version of oscommerce, this is the version in application_top "application_top.php,v 1.272 2003/03/31 ".

I downloaded the zip 2.3.1 and see all the files. However the catalog/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php is in the EXT directory and my version of oscommerce does not have an EXT directory. If I install the file in my catalog/includes/modules/payment directory then the

chdir('../../../../');
require('includes/application_top.php');

code will fail because the chdir will cd one directory back to far and the subsequent require will fail.

Can I just change the chdir to chdir('../../../'); or am I opening a can of worms.

Any additional recommendations or gotchas are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Tom

I am trying to install paypal_standard_1_0.

The installation tips thread http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/331996-how-to-setup-paypal-website-payments-standard/page__hl__paypal+logo__st__20 refers to 12. Set the return URL to http://<your website>/catalog/ipn.php.

I do not have that ipn.php file in my catalog and it is not in the paypal_standard_1_0 addon module that I downloaded. I am running an old version (to be upgraded 1/2012) but I need to get PayPal running.

Where is the ipn.php?

Thanks,
Tom

I'm an old member from 2003 and need some help. My client has a 1.272 oscommerce version with a 1.39 paypal.php installed.

They have never activated the paypal module and the site is heavily modified so an upgrade to the latest oscommerce is not in the immediate future.

Which version of paypal should I download and install/configure that will give me the best possible paypal system.

Thanks in advance for your help and its good to be back in the oscommerce world once again.

Tom
