CE Phoenix Cart Forum

Hey Folks,

Got an email this morning that I initially suspected was spam, since I've be receiving IPNs from PayPal just fine.

But it's legit and after looking into it and checking everything I can think of checking, I cannot figure out the problem. What does occur to me is that maybe Phoenix cart was down for a bit.

What do you think?

Did you check out the IPN history in your paypal account? That sometimes gives a clue... I'll see if I can find it, doubtless it's moved since I last looked

it's at https://www.paypal.com/merchantnotification/ipn/history

clicking on the message id in the list takes you into a detail view which will at least tell you the http response code if it got one

I did cherck it and see that there's two instances yesterday. From what I can gather someone tried to make a purchase twice within minutes without success.

HTTP response code 404

I also see PP has made many attempts to send, the latest this morning.

Could the notification URL have changed without my knowledge?

Those details will tell you the url it's hitting - is it correct for your site?
Do you use the same paypal account on other sites, ebay, etc?

https://www.myshop/ext/modules/payment/ ... rd_ipn.php

How would I check if it's the right URL? Seemed like it was working before, and I've not changed it.

My PP account applies strictly to this shop.

Try visiting the URL.

Look in your file manager and see if the file is there.

Check that you don't have access to the ext/ directory turned off in a .htaccess file or similar.
