IPN Posting Error

[britstak]

Hi Everyone!

Joomla 2.5.22
Virtuemart 2.6.6

I have developed a Ecommerce website (virtuemart) The website checks out with PayPal. I am having an issue with IPN.

The situation:

Business PayPal Account checks out on the website goes through to PayPal. PayPal authorises transaction and the money is taken with no problem at all. No error comes back. The order status goes back into the website as confirmed.

Standard PayPal user checks out on the website goes through PayPal authorises the transaction and the money is taken. However I get an error for IP (see below)

ERROR validateIpnContent: VMPAYMENT_PAYPAL_ERROR_POSTING_IPN

The status of the order in the website is Pending.

I am confused on why a business account will go through but a standard account wont. This is a problem because the client doesn't get notified that an order is pending only when its confirmed but they do get an email to say there has been an error on the website.

I have spent over 10 hours looking at this issue with no luck at all

Hello

If some of the data contains a ' (quote) you can have this problem. To fix it :
replace in file plugins/vmpayment/paypal/paypal.php    function plgVmOnPaymentNotification()

Code Select Expand

$paypal_data = JRequest::get('post');

with

Code Select Expand

$paypal_data = $_POST;

Hello Alatak

I am new to vitruemart I have searched my code for the PayPal plug in and I cant find the following $paypal_data = JRequest::get('post');

the only thing I can find is function plgVmOnPaymentNotification()

hope you can point me in the right direction

thank you Brittany

hello

Yes, you are rigth.
It is the line with

Code Select Expand

$paypal_data = vRequest::getPost();

I have a similiar Error message in Logs / paypal.2.log.php.

2014-08-13 11:30:07 ERROR validateIpnContent: Fehler während der Übertragung der sofortigen Zahlungsbestätigung (IPN):  ,  0

Will the fix eliminate that problem, too ?

only ways we resolved this problem was to move it onto another server. still not sure what the issue was. we are thinking maybe a server setting

[Milbo]

The issue was maybe that your server used a "reverse proxy". For this there is a new general setting in the vm config.

The setting is on the first tab in the vm config. The tooltip tells more.

milbo thank you so much for your answer. with regards to the proxy headers my host gave me this reply

Not sure regarding your request for "IP address proxy headers" as when we installed cPanel, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) has been automatically configured.

i tried to add the servers ip address but the problem persists.

i created a new thread becuase i updated my version. the problem is still the same.

this is the thread

thank you again for you help and i am willing to donate for VM as i appreciate the support.

I set  the main IPN thread sticky now, should be easier to find in future. It is tricky. Thanks for your support.
