Please don't pm for support.

You're having some sort of encoding problem, possibly related to your language installation.  Doesn't appear to be affecting other links on your forum.  Which language package are you using?  What is the native language of your server?

Set up a clean test install with new database, same problem with Paid Subs, so your live forum and database are probably ok.  You must contact PayPal support, give them this info:

- Payment is successful.
- Subscription activation fails with no error.
- Forum does not appear to be receiving IPN (they can check this).
- Does not work with your PayPal account or mine.
- Does not work in Turkish or English.
- Works fine in test mode using sandbox accounts.
- There's nothing wrong with forum code or database.

Post their response here.  I'll be offline until tomorrow.

While you're waiting, submit a support ticket to your host and ask if they're blocking PayPal IPNs.

Sir Osis of Liver

There are two things we need to know:

- From PayPal support - are IPNs being blocked?  If so, why are sandbox IPNs not being blocked?
- From host support - are they running any security that blocks IPNs?

Your primary PayPal account is working correctly.  Payment is successful, IPN is posted to forum.  On my 2.0.10 test forum, subscription is activated.  On your live forum, and the clean test forum I set up on your host, subscription fails without error.  If I switch to test mode, IPN is received and subscription is activated.  I replaced subscriptions.php, ManagePaid.php, Subscriptions-PayPal.php on your live forum with the working files from my test forum, doesn't work.

The only thing I see that's not right is this recurring error in your log -

     http://www.mixoloji.net/index.php?board=15.0
     2: mail() has been disabled for security reasons
     File: /home/uwymixol/public_html/Sources/ScheduledTasks.php
     Line: 997



     // No point logging a specific error here, as we have no language. PHP error is helpful anyway...
     $result = mail(strtr($email['to'], array("\r" => '', "\n" => '')), $email['subject'], $email['body'], $email['headers']);



I cannot cause the error, it does not correspond to subscription attempts or logged scheduled tasks.  It may or may not be related to the Paid Subs problem, but I'm thinking not.

Best guess at this point is your host is blocking IPNs.  PayPal support can tell you if they're being blocked.  Why the sandbox IPNs get through is a mystery.

  It's not a PayPal problem.  Modified subscriptions.php to force it to dump IPN data into error log, and your forum is receiving IPNs.  There's nothing wrong with the post data, it just doesn't work.  Subscription fails, no error.  Nothing wrong with your PayPal account, works fine on my test forum.  My PayPal account does not work on your forum, but sandbox does.  Nothing wrong in your database.  You're running on a Linux box, php 5.4.39, MySQL 5.0.10, nothing unusual there.  Everything on your server is in English, so not a language problem.

The problem seems to be host related, but still haven't pinned it down.  IPNs are not being blocked, they are reaching the forum but not being processed.  There's nothing wrong with the IPN post data, and it works fine on my test forum.  Will work on it tonight and see if I can determine why SMF can't process the IPN.

Don't think so.  Forum is receiving IPN, and I've forced it to dump the post data, which is correct and works on my test install.  Don't think it would get that far if mod_security were involved.  Having another go now, have a couple of ideas.

Oddly, the OP's live forum, and the clean install I did on his server, cannot send emails.  Getting a lot of errors like these -

Don't see anything in forum config that could cause this.  Could possibly be related to Paid Subs problem, but I have all notifications disabled.

Actually, the email address is the only significant item that's different between the sandbox IPN that works, and the live IPN that doesn't.  mail() is not in any of the Paid Subs files, and all notifications are disabled, so it shouldn't try to send any emails when processing a subscription.

Actually it is a possibility...
In subscriptions.php
emailAdmins('paid_subscription_new', $replacements, $notify_users);

But isn't the forum sending any emails? It might be worth to fix this issue before continuing.

All emails apparently are being blocked.  Any time any function tries to send email, the error is logged.  I have all admin notifications blocked in Paid Subs, and it would only execute emailAdmins() if there's a refund or a Paid Subs error is logged, neither of which is happening.  Also, a Paid Subs transaction does not log the email() disabled error.  PayPal informs me there are no known problems with hosts based in Turkey.

Will try to determine why test mode works.  Sandbox IPNs are processed normally, subscriptions activated.  May be able to hack a workaround.  Alternative would be to change hosts.

Hi Krash , PayPal sent me the answer; (This written language Turkish)

Düğme kodlarınızda charset değişkeni ile faklı bir encoding kullanıyorsanız, orada da utf-8 olarak değiştirin (charset=utf-8).

Buna ilave olarak, belirttiğiniz sıkıntı IPN ile değil, bir ödeme sonrası sitenize dönüş yapılan return URL'ye gönderilen değerlerle ilgili. Return URL olarak http://www.thekrashsite.com/smf20/index.php?action=profile;u=111;area=subscriptions;sub_id=6;done adresini kullandığınızı görüyorum. Query string parametrelerini ayırmak için noktalı virgül (semi-colon) kullandığınızı görüyorum. Her sunucu query parameter ayrımı için semi-colon karakterini desteklemez. Dolayısıyla, return URL'nizdeki semi-colon karakteri yerine & (ampersand) karakterini kullanırsanız dönüş adresindeki sıkıntının giderileceğini düşünüyorum.

Return URL olarak http://www.mixoloji.net/index.php?action=profile&u=13&area=subscriptions&sub_id=11&done adresini kullanarak kendi Sandbox düğmem ile bir deneme yaptım ve herhangi bir sıkıntı görmüyorum. Ekteki ekran görüntüsünü inceleyebilirsiniz.

If they are suggesting it's an encoding problem, I don't believe it is.  At some point in the code, urlencode() is used, which changes some of the characters, but both of those links work, so it's not a problem. 

What I can't figure out is why sandbox subscription works, but regular transaction doesn't.  The only difference in test mode is target url for posting payment data to PayPal is www.sandbox/paypal.com/..... instead of www.paypal.com/...., which is done in Subscriptions-PayPal.php.  Everything else is the same.  The sandbox IPN is basically the same as a regular IPN, and is processed the same way.  The code doesn't know it's a test IPN.  Only significant difference is that receiver email address is different, but your PayPal address works on my test installs, so it's not a problem with your account (my account also doesn't work on your forum). 

I have not (yet) found where the subscription is failing.  It's possible that it's related to host security, but I don't see how it could be blocking a normal subscription and not a sandbox sub, since they're both the same on the receiving end.

Paypal Support;
Instead of the semi-colon character in the URL return & (ampersand) If you use the characters to resolve the problems in the return address, I think.

Sir Osis of Liver

Do you have IPN enabled on your PayPal account?  It's not necessary, and would be better disabled.  The return url is fine, if it were not, IPNs would not be reaching the forum.

In button codes, you are using different encoding with charset variable, use charset=utf-8 instead.

In addition to this, issue you mentioned is not about IPN, its about the values sent to return URL after a payment. As return URL you are using http://www.thekrashsite.com/smf20/index.php?action=profile;u=111;area=subscriptions;sub_id=6;done. To device Query string parameters you are using semi-colon. Not every server supports semi-colon in dividing query parameter. Instead using semi-colon in the URL, using ampersand in the dividing  in the return URL will fix the issue.

As Return URL I've been using http://www.mixoloji.net/index.php?action=profile&u=13&area=subscriptions&sub_id=11&done this and did some tests with my Sandbox button and didn't see any issue so far. You can take a look at the attachment.

What is the problem solution

Sir Osis of Liver

I cannot find what is causing the problem, but it appears to be host related, possibly a security configuration that is interfering with Paid Subs.  Your forum is also being blocked from sending emails.  There is nothing wrong with your forum installation or PayPal account.  The only thing I can suggest is that you move to a different host.  I will continue tinkering with this if I can come up with some new ideas, but at this point I'm stumped.  :P

Received following from PayPal this morning -

Currently there are a couple of differences between the sandbox IPNs and the normal IPNs. Sandbox uses HTTP:/1.1 while Live uses HTTP:/1.0. I don't believe this will be the issue, as this will affect your ability to receive them (I am showing that the IPNs were received successfully). The Sandbox and Live endpoints do have different validation URLs as well, so any Live IPN message that you attempt to validate against the sandbox will come back as invalid, which may be what is causing the problem with these purchases not being recorded within your system. Can you confirm that your listener is attempting to validate these IPNs against https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr ? and that you are receiving a "VERIFIED" back?

We are receiving both sandbox and live IPNs, sandbox subscriptions are successful, live subs fail.  Will check for validation code tonight, but that wouldn't be the problem, as it would affect all forums.  If I knew what host security is blocking, might be able to hack around it, possibly by making a live IPN look like a sandbox IPN.

Ok, found it.  If I comment out these two lines in Subscriptions-PayPal.php, live subscription works -



// If this isn't verified then give up...
// !! This contained a comment "send an email", but we don't appear to send any?
//if (strcmp(trim($this->return_data), 'VERIFIED') != 0)
// exit;



Not sure what it does, but it's part of public function precheck(), which appears to validate post data.    It comes after this -



// Put the data to the port.
fputs($fp, $header . $requestString);

// Get the data back...
while (!feof($fp))
{
$this->return_data = fgets($fp, 1024);
if (strcmp(trim($this->return_data), 'VERIFIED') == 0)
break;
}

// Clean up.
fclose($fp);
}

// If this isn't verified then give up...
// !! This contained a comment "send an email", but we don't appear to send any?
//if (strcmp(trim($this->return_data), 'VERIFIED') != 0)
// exit;



$requestString is assembled here -



// Build the request string - starting with the minimum requirement.
$requestString = 'cmd=_notify-validate';

// Now my dear, add all the posted bits.
foreach ($_POST as $k => $v)
$requestString .= '&' . $k . '=' . urlencode($v);



That may be the problem.  I would guess it's a security risk to remove the validation.  Have emailed this info to PayPal, don't expect a response until Monday.

Wondering if this is being blocked by the same security thing that's blocking outgoing forum emails -



// Put the data to the port.
fputs($fp, $header . $requestString);




When a customer makes a payment to you or a payment is reversed or refunded, PayPal will post a notification to your server at the URL you specified. Included in this notification will be all of your customer's payment information (e.g. customer name, payment amount) as well as a piece of encrypted code. When your server receives a notification, it will then post the information, including the encrypted code, back to a secure PayPal URL. PayPal will authenticate the transaction and send confirmation of its validity back to your server.

If host security is blocking outgoing emails (it apparently is), it is probably blocking the postback to PayPal.  This causes IPN verification to fail, and subscription fails.  This is a host security issue, as Kindred posted earlier in this thread.  I can hack around it, but really not a good idea.  You will need to resolve this with your host, as none of your forum notifications will work, so it's a larger problem than just Paid Subs.

I can modify the code to ignore the verification failure, and subscriptions will work, but it's not recommended.

From PayPal -

It is important that you Verify IPNs, as POST data can be sent to your listener, by a non-paypal poster.

It appears that outgoing emails from your forum are being blocked by your host, probably by the same security configuration that's blocking PayPal verification, so you'll have to get this fixed or other forum functions will not work.  If your host will not fix it, you'll have to change hosts.

It appears that outgoing emails from your forum are being blocked by your host, probably by the same security configuration that's blocking PayPal verification, so you'll have to get this fixed or other forum functions will not work.  If your host will not fix it, you'll have to change hosts.

Hi Krash,
Does the work continues?

Kindred

I don't think that you are reading what Krash has written.

NO - he is not going to hack the code to work for you, since doing so would break the security of the payment/validation system.

Your issue --   as we said from the very beginnning lies with your **HOST** and the fact that the idiots at your host have misconfigured something which prevents your system from sending (or receiving, apparently) mail...   and this issue has extended beyond the actual mail to also include the paypal confirmation.

So -- your ONLY solution choices are:
1- work with your host to figure out what misconfiguration they have made and either fix it or turn off whatever stupid security protocol they THINK they need...
2- get a better host.
