I am getting very confused reading different threads - I have tried to find the problem in the forums, but the more I read, the more confused I become and I dont know what I should be doing anymore and I am too scared to continue in case I really mess something up.....please someone help me out here.
1. I downloaded paypal contribution 1.5 a few days ago. I installed it this evening. It seemed to install without problem. It does not show an ipn # in admin for my test order but the test order went through BUT I received several error emails from paypal.
Paypal Error Emails I received
a. PayPal IPN: Invalid Customer Transaction - A transaction occured but PayPal did not verify it, this could be due to a communications error, but it could also be an attempted hack. Customer 2, Test Test has been allowed to continue their order. Please Check Your PayPal account.
b. PayPal IPN: HTTP Error - An HTTP Error occured during authentication curl= socket=tcp:// domain=www.paypal.com port=80
c. PayPal IPN: unkown verification occurrence - Connection Type curl= socket=tcp:// domain=www.paypal.com port=80
d. PayPal IPN: cart - COULD NOT PROCESS: You have received a payment of 12.40 USD
2. I started reading the forum post at Topic 72075
and thought I was supposed to make changes as gregs post said that he missed a step and so I made the change referenced in post from January 2nd entitled:
Missed a $debug variable in /catalog/ipn.php
Should I have made that change ?
3. Now I read tonight (about an hour after installing 1.5 that there is a version 1.6 or 1.5a.....
Should I install this over the top of 1.5 ?
:unsure: I dont know what to do at this point..... I want to know if I should correct my item 2 above. How do I fix the paypal error messages? Once I fix the paypal error messages, will that fix my missing ipn problem?
