SSL subscription issue

[ozzy47]

Like I said, I did not see any attempts from PayPal in the logs you sent me. So one of three things.

1) They did not show cause there was no action from PayPal at the time.
2) A issue with PayPal.
3) A issue with your server.

IMO it is number 3, so you would need to contact your host to have then figure out what the issue is. Or perhaps #2, then you would need to contact PayPal.

I looked at the code for the points mod that does work with paypal, but it doesn't look llike it uses the IPN message. I don't know how it works without it.

I tried to go to https://removed.com using chrome this morning and got this message:

The webpage at https://a2s.in/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Error code: ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

which is kind of what I was originally thinking, that there may be an SSL handshake issue between paypal and your server. I don't know how you'd go about debugging that. I think apache has an ssl error log, (if that's what you're using). ETA: or, as I think I mentioned earlier, maybe you can run an http server that allows access only to payment_gateway.php.

Final update : I've fixed everything , the suscription system is working now , it was an issue with my server , I've disabled the firewall in my server and everything works fine, thanks everyone for all your efforts.

Do they HAVE to have the IP address? Couldn't they allow with just the domain instead?

You can find the IP's and domain names of PayPal here: https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/92
If possible with your firewall, whitelist *.paypal.com.

Yeah that is what I was thinking whitelist paypal.com since if they keep on changing the IP address. It would be a nightmare to try and keep up with the IP address changes in that case, so there must be some way to just add the domain instead. You may want to ask your host if its possible and tell them that paypal changes its IP address regularly.

Er ok, wow. Well whenever Paypal changes their IP address you will continue to have this problem. Perhaps the host can implement some sort of fix?

[ozzy47]

Yeah it's called get a better firewall.
