[ExOTIXx]

im on 2.0.3! i had the SAME error in 2.0.2.
PLEASE fix this god damn bug.

as soon as a person buys a subscription it goes STRAIGHT to "Finished, 2005"..
ive tried with non-recurring payments.. and recently i had a message from paypal explaining that they might dissable the IPNs?
the IPN is right... ("http://URL/subscriptions.php")...

what is going on?......
PLEASE get a fix god damn it.

if searched and i kinda guess you should take it off the forum.
and also im using free 000webhost survice.

Are you sure the permissions on the file are correct?
Try accessing the URL from your browser and see what you get.

[ExOTIXx]

the permission for subscription is 777.
and the subscriptions.php results saying "no valid data was sent"..

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Are you gettng a paid subscriptions error in your error log?

[ExOTIXx]

apparently not... there are no errors regarding Subscriptions..

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Admin -> Logs

[ExOTIXx]

apparently not... there are no errors regarding Subscriptions..

[Arantor]

Any errors at all? There isn't a specific category for subscriptions in the log.

[ExOTIXx]

the only error im recording is: Unable to load the '/menu_language/main.english' language file. but that is nothing of this sort..

[Sir Osis of Liver]

He's not receiving the IPN.

What exactly did PayPal tell you?

[ExOTIXx]

They said that the Messages have not been sending, and that they may stop IPNS..

[ExOTIXx]

This is the exact email:

Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). Instant Payment Notifications sent to the following URL(s) are failing:

http://sasdayz.net63.net/subscriptions.php

If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.


Yours sincerely,

PayPal

[Sir Osis of Liver]

IPNs are not reaching your forum.  Appears to be a host problem.

[ExOTIXx]

how could i fix this issue?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

You have to contact your host support and send them the PayPal email.

[emanuele]

Tested a bit with a paypal sandbox account on a 000webhost free site I use for testing and paypal doesn't even try to contact IPN.
It's most likely something related to the host.

[Arantor]

Yeah, nothing good usually comes out of using free hosts.

[Arantor]

So the first half the issue - the 2005 end date - is tracked under https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/issues/1167

The second half, of PayPal not issuing the IPN, that's not something we can actually fix.

This topic doesn't add anything new to the information we have, so moving to fixed.

Try 0644 permission for the subscriptions.php file

[Arantor]

Nope. If you browse to subscriptions.php you're always going to get that error regardless because you're not supposed to visit it directly.
