Chasing what appears to be a server related Paid Subs glitch, would like to view the PayPal verification postback. Looks like it happens here -
// Get the data back...
while (!feof($fp))
{
$this->return_data = fgets($fp, 1024);
if (strcmp(trim($this->return_data), 'VERIFIED') == 0)
break;
}
Subscription fails here -
/// If this isn't verified then give up...
if (strcmp(trim($this->return_data), 'VERIFIED') != 0) {
log_error('Paid Subscriptions error - IPN verification failed');
exit;
}
If I comment it out, sub activates. PP support says verification is posted to forum. Would like to at least confirm receipt, and view post data if possible.
Just checked, curl 7.29.0 is enabled, but verification still fails if I comment out curl code.
Maybe you could try
log_error(var_export($this->return_data, true)); ???
I think that logs the data to the error log.
I'll give it a try soon as I get a chance. Thanks.
Running this code -
/// If this isn't verified then give up...
if (strcmp(trim($this->return_data), 'VERIFIED') == 0)
log_error('Paid Subscription successful');
log_error(var_export($this->return_data, true));
if (strcmp(trim($this->return_data), 'VERIFIED') != 0) {
log_error('Paid Subscriptions error - IPN verification failed');
log_error(var_export($this->return_data, true));
exit;
}
On test forum where sub activates normally, logs two errors -
http://www.thekrashsite.com/smf20/subscriptions.php
'VERIFIED'
http://www.thekrashsite.com/smf20/subscriptions.php
Paid Subscription successful
On client forum where verification fails, logs three errors -
https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/subscriptions.php
false
https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/subscriptions.php
Paid Subscriptions error - IPN verification failed
https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/subscriptions.php
false
Verification postback is sent from same PayPal ip as IPN, and we are receiving IPN, but either not receiving VERIFIED or it is somehow damaged. Still stumped. >:(
Find out if the hosting company restricts outward net connections, e.g. what the value of allow_url_fopen is.
If that were the case, wouldn't PayPal not be receiving postback from forum? They've told me postback is received, and they are sending verification.
phpinfo reports allow_url_fopen is 'On' (Local & Master).
There are two code paths there: curl and fsock. Did you determine which one it uses? Have you tried commenting out the curl code block?
Yes, commented out curl code to force http, same result. Other odd thing is, with verification commented out, subs activate ok, but around 10-15% are reported as active and pending. There are also random currency errors that don't correspond with anything else.
