Skrill gateway doesn´t work since some days

[lanthan]

Hi,

I am using Skrill (Moneybookers) as a payment gateway for credit card and other payment posibilities. VM 2.6.10, J. 2.5.27.

Suddenly Skrill doesn´t work anymore (no changes made). The payment form doesn not appear anymore, instead I get the information "Session expired". Pls see attachement. This errors occurs on two shops and there was no change since the last credit card payment. Any ideas?

Hi, same here.

Since Sep. 24th or 25th 2014, the moneybookers credit card payment doesn't work anymore. Instead of the page where clients can enter their cc credentials, they see a page that says "session expired", please log in. I talked to the Moneybookers / Skrill Support and they told me that our system is configured correctly on their end.

Any Idea what's going on there?

We're on JOOMLA 2.5.6 & VM 2.0.12f

All the best,
Henski

Those versions are insecure! See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0

Dear Jenkin,

thank you very much for your reply. We're in the process of preparing the upgrade. We have a strongly modified Website and need to make sure that the plugins all work seamlessly after the upgrade. Until then, we'd like to resolve the SKRILL Payment issue on our existing site.

The original poster lanthan has the same issue although he has the latest Virtuemart Version, so I fear that an update won't solve the problem.

Do you have an Idea what's causing the payment problem?

Best regards,
Henski

No, I don't use Skrill on any of my sites.

The problem isn´t solved. I found the same problem on another shop system and cms. Could be a currency transfer problem.

If anyone has at least an idea where to dig I would really love to hear your ideas.

By the way can anyone confirm that his Skrill payment is still working correct. This would help too. Thanx!

Hi,

we resolved the issue.
The server response from Moneybookers/Skrill has increased in its size and now exceeds the 1024 digits that are set in the moneybookers.php.
The file can be found here: plugins/vmpayment/moneybookers/moneybookers.php

In line 377, it says: $rbuff = fread ($fps, 1024);

We simply replaced that line with: $rbuff = fread ($fps, 10240); and now it works like a charm.

All the best,
Henski
