Instant Payment Notification

Moved to SBsubs, please ignore . . .

Good Afternoon,

I'm having issues with my CBSub and I'm looking for some help.

Here is the error I receive after processing a payment on PayPal and auto return to the website:

Sorry no response for your payment from payment server (error ). Please check your email and status later.
No suitable basket found.

I have checked the IPN history on PayPal and the notification URL it's trying to access is the following which produces a 500 error.

test-joomla.dsat.ca/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&user=63&plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions&cbpgacctno=1&cbppdtback=caf2fa197d50583aa3f8e402852256aa&cbpbasket=6&result=notify&cbpid=cbp4f4e7ab50b581179267500&format=raw

We are using PayPal Standard. So basically users sign up, go to the PayPal website to process a payment and it's on the return to our site that we get the 500 error.

I'm attaching the errors we see under CBSubs "General Plugin Setting" although since we are using PayPal I thought it said we could ignore these errors.

Does our website need to be HTTPS before this will work properly? We are currently on our development server which doesn't have an SSL Cert.

Our host also tells us that openSSL is setup on our server even though this attached error message says it's not executable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

Jonathan

You don't need HTTPS for PayPal, but you still need CURL/OpenSSL for a secure communication to be established. Once those errors go away IPNs should work fine (I had same behavior when testing locally, enabled openssl php extension resolved it). It's possible their OpenSSL is not functional or perhaps need to supply a different path to it. Please enable debug mode and maximum error reporting then attempt to reach the URL you supplied again to see if any fatal errors are present.

Are you referring to the Joomla "Debug System" setting in the global config?

Yes, both debug mode and error reporting settings need to be adjusted in Joomla global configuration.
