Cannot set to test mode

[spyderwoman]

I am trying to test my ipn but am unable to set my test mode to yes in the Payment Method Form for PayPal.
When I change it to yes and save, it does not save  (although it says it does) and displays this error:
Warning: fopen() has been disabled for security reasons in /*******/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/payment/ps_paypal.php on line 185

This file seems file and has not been edited either.

When you are in the PayPal configuration tab do you have the message

/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/payment/ps_paypal.cfg.php :: Writeable

at the top? If not you need to change the file permissions so that you can save the changes to enter into test mode.

G'day,

I never got the PP sandbox to work, it seems far to different to the real world.
I ended up just using the real PP account, you don't need to actually pay to see if the data you are getting is correct.
Once I had the data to PP correct, I created a 0.01 product and purchased that to test the IPN process, once you have an IPN you can keep sending the same one.

Thanks beachy, and yes. the Writable message appears but i still get that error when  I save.

Can you tell me the file permissions you have got for ps_paypal.php & ps_paypal.cfg.php

In addition can you post the contents of ps_paypal.cfg.php

Thanks for the help.
Both are 644 (code is below... i removed the paypal address)

Nothing looks wrong at all. It may be worth manually editing the file to put paypal into test mode. To do this change the 0 in the first line to a 1.

ONce you have finshed tested just revert the 1 back to a 0.

Although its not a true fix it should give you the answer you are looking for!

[stinga]

can you post the extra payment info as well please.

[spyderwoman]

Yes thank you, where do I find the extra payment info?

[stinga]

in the VM setup of paypal
