Hello,

I have the same problem as rongame, everything works perfectly except the Paypal IPN notification (work in Sandbox Mode).

Until last October 2015 I worked, we just updated versions of Joomla related (Joomla 3.4.8 and VM 3.0.12).

PayPal tells me HTTP 200 (As is correct) on a IPN Notification.

However, in the log paypal now:

What can happen?
Thank you.

If you want to test ipn with the PayPal sandbox, you need to be logged into your sandbox account. See here:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/sb_ipn/

Thanks for your reply,

If, as we have done, all right on an IPN test on paypal Sandbox. However if we do a sale at VM it gives the error that we comment: ERROR validateIpnContent: Error while posting IPN:  ,  0

Some help?

[Tonimito]

Hello,

We upgraded to version 5.6 PHP we have changed the hosting, with changing IP. Now it works, without touching anything ¿?

What may be due?

[jjk]

What may be due?

I have no clue - maybe something similar to this: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=130368.msg449175#msg449175 

[Studio 42]

I solved it on adding the site URL in paypal IPN setting : https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customerprofileweb?cmd=_profile-ipn-notify,
But the problem was not exactly the same.

[Tonimito]

Thanks Studio 42,
Yes, we saw that we link POST. I think it was the same problem, as we have not touched anything of programming. We have only changed version 5.6 and PHP hosting provider has migrated to a new machine the web with changing IP. And now it works ¿?
It is simply to know where the error if it happens again or someone else happens.
Regards!

Which php version did you use before?

[Tonimito]

Hello,

The the previous version of PHP is 5.3, but for many working days and one day he stopped working.

Thank you.

[Studio 42]

I had same problem, and only with my solution, the problem gone.
I called paypal, the support said to add the IPN. But is i said i don't had exactly same problem.
Some say that the problem come from OpenSSL 0.9.8(you can see release number with php info() or in Joomla php information) but in my case, this was not the problem.
