Cannot Save PayPal Parameters in Payment Methods

[dolbie]

I have seen some posts regarding this but not answers yet.

having trouble when I try to save to parameters of the paypal payment module. I do not get an error when using any of the other payment methods except PayPal.

On trying to save I get the following message:

_______________

Method Not Implemented

POST to /xxxx/administrator/index.php not supported.
Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at www.xxxx.com.au Port 80

_______________

Does anyone have any suggestions? I read somewhere it could be a mod_security issue, but i haven't been able to disable that or make any changes.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I have setup a clients web store and only need to implement the virtuemart paypal method to have it all finished.

Cheers.

it sounds like it's a restriction by your webhosting company.  I haven't setup a development server based on linux yet so I don't know where to being to replicate this problem or even a possible solution for that.  But you might try contacting them to see if they can make the required changes for that apache module to see if that allows you to run the script.

I'm guessing that the rest of your Joomla site doesn't have a problem posting?

Thanks for replying. I got it sorted with the web host. They had to make some changes to mod_security in the PHP settings on their server. That's what was giving the 501 error.

If anyone else encounters this problem. CHeck with your web host to see fi they can modify mod_security settings for your domain.
