Hi

Yes. The URL you entered is correct. When you make a test registration on this site, is there any IPN message generated ? What is the status of that message ?

Please check it and let me know.

Ok, thank you Tuan. So now I don't have to anything else like create some special .php files on my website?

I just found out something interesting. Yesterday I contacted my hosting provider and they told me this:

Hi Petr

I understand that you are having problems in handling Paypal transactions on your hosting.

A number of websites on our servers (often Joomla based websites) have been compromised recently and used to target a number of websites in the USA. This has resulted in AT & T putting a block on some of our servers which does stop them communicating properly with Paypal.

If you can provide me the domain name for the site you are having a problem with, we can check if the server it is on is currently blocked or not. If it is, we can look into moving it onto a different server which isn't blocked.

If you can reply with your domain name, I'll start checking for you.

Best Regards


Now I am going to move the website to their another server and (cross fingers) I hope it will work.

You don't need to create any special php file on the site. From what your hosting said, it seems your hosting blocked the IPN messages from Paypal and that's the reason causing the issue. After moving your site to new server, please check it again and let us know the result.

After loosing a lot of time and nerves it was issue between hosting provider and paypal. As they said, they moved my site to another one with different IP. NOW IT WORKS GREAT!!!! :whistle:

So I recommend to everyone to contact hosting and maybe paypal if their servers are not blocked.

Thank you Tuan for you help.
