Paypal/DB Issue

I think I may be having the same issue. Paypay processes the payment but the registrant information is not populated to the database and auto-emails are not sent. Offline Payment registration populates the data just fine.

Tuan mentioned modifying a few lines of code in the os_paypal.php under components/com_eventbooking/payments folder.

Anyone have the modified lines of code? or other ideas.

I'm having the same issue on two separate servers hosted by Godaddy. (Yeah, I know, why am I using GD for Joomal)

Make sure you are not using http auth as paypal won't be able to send you back with a success/fail. If you are not using http auth then yes, there are some updates in the os_paypal.php file that Tuan did. PM your email and I can send it to you.

Not using HTTP authentication. I will PM per your request.

Thank you!

THANKS BLUECLOVER!!
That was it and you saved Tuan one less of his many replies. Those INP changes at line 174 and 177 sure helped. It was also nice that it was an entire file too, instead of "find line X and replace this phrase." These joomdonation guys have their $hit together.

Can we just post the changes made to the paypal_os file? Is there some reason why it hasn't been posted anywhere?

I'm having the same problem as well, payments are being received from paypal but not being registered on the site.

Hi

This modification was added to version 1.3.3 of the extension which I updated to download package yesterday. Could you please upgrade your site to latest version first ?

Infact, this isssue sometime is not because the code. It might cause by :

- Your server has Firewall which prevent Paypal IPN to notify us about Payment .

- Your site has a security plugin (like RSFirewall or Admin Tools) and these plugins prevent Paypal IPN notify our system about the payment and the extension won't work .

So if it doesn't work after upgrade, please send me administrator and FTP account of your site so that I can check it !

Regards,

Tuan

I did the upgrade and still have the same problem. I use a VPS server, it's Linux / Apache, and I am running mod_security. Could this be causing problems?

I do have root access but I'm not too familiar with mod_security or making changes like that. Could this be the problem, and is this something that maybe I can create a rule for in .htaccess?

I would really like to resolve this without disabling mod_security, but I guess I could go look at the logs to see if it had stopped something from paypal.

I appreciate your help Tuan, let me know how you think I should proceed:)
