ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php - why&how?

[doscape]

A friend got this from paypal:

Hello "Sir".

 

Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications

(IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:

 

https://www.his-domain.com/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.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.

 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

 

 

Thanks,

 

PayPal

 

The thing is that he uses the standard paypal module, "PayPal Website Payments Standard".

and there is no such file there "standard_ipn.php"

What I did is to look up for a new paypal module, and I found this one:

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7184

 

Downloaded it, but it doesn't contain such a file as well..

osc_PayPal_v180\catalog\ext\modules\payment\paypal

only rp_ipn.php and express.php

How to handle this?

It seems paypal has changed the IPN system. Now for every recurring payment, a notice is sent on every payment made to the IPN system. This means any old urls still having recurring payments or new ones will need to handle this differently.

 

For the old urls, a success code is needed to be sent to paypal upon receipt of the IPN, for new IPNs being processed on live IPN links, the system will now need to check the status of the order, and then send emails based on the status that are more clear to the customer.

"standard_ipn.php" such a file on the following path :

 

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

 

 

Please enable PayPal IPN and set the “http://www.yoursite.com/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php” url in your paypal account profile.
