How do you test IPN now that www.eliteweaver.co.uk is dead?

Hello,

I'm getting close to turn my shopping cart on but I wanted to make sure that IPN works with paypal.  www.eliteweaver.co.uk/testing/ipntest.php that test mode uses is a dead so I was curious if anyone knows how I can test to make sure IPN works?

Paypal has one on the developer site.  http://developer.paypal.com/  This site you will want to use a different email address than your current paypal account.

I have been trying to use the PayPal sandbox, but when I test the IPN I get an error
Hello,
        A fatal error occured while processing a paypal transaction.
        ----------------------------------
        Hostname: www.eliteweaver.co.uk
        URI: /testing/ipntest.php
        php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution (0)
        Status: FAILED

That's using the url that is given in the VM Paypal configuration for test. What should I set the PayPal Sandbox IPN Handler URl to?
If anyone has an idiots guide to using the Sandbox, I could do with it, as I can't figure out how to link it to my site.

Ok, I was feeling really dim 

I read the sticky post and got it figured out; I hadn't realised I needed to change the url in Payment Extra Info. Now have the sandbox working.

Do you mean the $url field?

I changed that to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr and I'm still getting the failed IPN error 

If you changed something else can you let me know - thanks!

Regards,
Karen

I read through that post again for paypal set up and realised that I had debug set to YES when it should be set to NO. Now I'm getting confirmations through...

Another issue sorted :-)
