Ok, I finally figured out why this was happening. I setup two accounts in the sandbox, a normal account and a merchant account. I confirmed the normal account and added money, but I did not attach an account to or confirm the merchant account. In this state, I got the problem mentioned above. After I added a bank account to the merchant account and confirmed it, everything began working as expected. David

Can anyone tell me why I get the following email when using the Paypal Sandbox? ============== ------------------------------------------------------ Unknown Post ------------------------------------------------------ An unknown POST from 66.135.197.164 was received. Are you running any tests? ------------------------------------------------------ PayPal Response ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ Connection Type ------------------------------------------------------ curl: 1 transport: domain: www.sandbox.paypal.com port: ------------------------------------------------------ Attention! ------------------------------------------------------ This is email has NOT been sent by PayPal. You have received this email via the osCommerce PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN Contribution To discontinue receiving this notice disable 'Debug Email Notifications' in your osCommerce PayPal configuration panel. ============== Thanks, David

I am having the exact same problem. I checked the IP address and it is owned by Ebay. I turned on the debug output and am getting txn_id = 0 in ipn.txt. In the sandbox, the details of the transaction show Name: [email protected] (The recipient of this payment is Unregistered) Email: [email protected] Status: Unclaimed The transaction completes fine when using the Test Panel. David

Right you are! I changed my HTTPS server define in configure.php to include /~coolcree and now the continue button works great. Thanks, David

Ok, I think I understand why this is happening, but I don't know how to fix it. It may be related to me using my host's secure server instead of having my own SSL certificate. Here is a description of the problem. When I am done at PayPal, I click on continue. This brings me back to my web site's checkout_success.php page. The URL is https://my_hosts.server.com/~coolcree/check...d284c448459a6a7 Notice the "~coolcree" in the URL. Now, when I click continue on this page, the URL becomes https://my_hosts.servers.com/index.php?action=notify&notify[]=&osCsid=64fd1e87e396231e53f84ca784d946c7 Notice that "~coolcree" is missing from the URL. Since my host has an index.php (the whois.cart pre-installation server diagnostics script) at that URL, I get the "Server Requirements Status" page mentioned in my previous post. Why would "~coolcree" be stripped off? I am starting to believe that this problem is unrelated to the "Server Requirements Status" problem. It appears that I keep getting posts from PayPal, but they aren't handled properly by my site. My email box is filling up with the debug emails because they keep coming at regular intervals for about 12 hours. :o My next plan of attack for this problem is to try the test panel. Any help is greatly appreciated, David

I am having problems while testing with the PayPal sandbox. I get all the way through the order process and return from PayPal to my "Your Order Has Been Processed!" page. Everything seems to be fine up to here. Then, when I click the continue button, I get a page with the following: --- Server Requirements Status PHP version up to date ok! URL fopen allowed ok! CURL Installed Curl is installed! Do make sure that it is compiled with SSL support however. Zend Optimizer Installed ok! Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions concerning the data presented in this diagnostics page. These entries must all read 'ok!' to be eligible for our system guarantee. --- Do I need to fix this Curl issue or is there another reason I am getting this message? In addition, neither the customer nor the store get a confirmation email. Instead, the store gets about 6 emails with the following contents: --- ------------------------------------------------------ Unknown Post ------------------------------------------------------ An unknown POST from 66.135.197.164 was received. Are you running any tests? ------------------------------------------------------ PayPal Response ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ Connection Type ------------------------------------------------------ curl: 1 transport: domain: www.sandbox.paypal.com port: ------------------------------------------------------ Attention! ------------------------------------------------------ This is email has NOT been sent by PayPal.
