MikeMike Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 When I arrive on paypals login page and click on the "Return to merchant" link, it takes me back to my site as it is suppose to. BUT, if I login to paypal and click the "Return to merchant" link (on first page after logging in) it basically just refresh the same page and not taking me back to my site. Someone in another thread mentioned that it could be an error in my config.php. I don't see any errors there, but here it is. Maybe someone else can see what's wrong: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.domain.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.domain.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'domain.com'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'domain.com'); define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES .

dynamoeffects Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 That reminds me. Someone earlier had a problem where the Return to Merchant link was garbled and it turned out that it was a PayPal issue. Might try contacting their support and seeing if they know what's going on.

MikeMike Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 I just received this email from paypal. Could that be related? Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing: http://www.yourshop.com/paypal_notify.php If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account. I don't understand where that paypal_notify.php would come from. It's not on the location they mention above and I don't see it anywhere else on my server or in the contributions I have installed: osCommerce PayPal IPN Module v1.0 For 2.2MS2 PayPal Website Payments Pro (US/UK) by dynamoeffects v0.9.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodhost.com Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I think this is a .php issuse you should contact your developer for solving this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMike Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 I had my settings in paypals "Instant Payment Notification Preferences" like this: Instant Payment Notification (IPN) OnInstant Payment Notification (IPN) URL: http://www.yourshop.com/paypal_notify.php The url field should be left empty right? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that paypal_notify.php isn't needed anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamoeffects Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm confused, why do you have both WPP AND Paypal IPN installed? Express Checkout replaces the need for IPN.

MikeMike Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm confused, why do you have both WPP AND Paypal IPN installed? Express Checkout replaces the need for IPN. ooops :-" That took care of everything. Now the links back from paypal are working. For some reason I had the idea that paypal express let your customers checkout without creating an account. Thanks for the help and sorry about the confusion...
