[solved] Paypal validation error

[valkyrie29]

I've been having trouble getting my paypal orders to show up in the back office.

I tried the checklist at Presto Changeo http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/content/10-fixing-paypal-problems

and got this error when I tried the permissions test:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /homepages/45/d234609381/htdocs/hexchromosome/modules/paypal/validation.php on line 57

What does this error mean and how do I fix it? My host is 1&1;and I have an SSL certificate that *I think* was installed correctly. If this is the problem, any adivce?

Thanks!

It means there's an error in the tpl file (modules/paypal/validation.tpl)

You probably made a modification in the file and used an incorrect syntax

Whats the PayPal module version are you using? There was a "parse error" problem with 2.1 version. Search forum or Bug tracker, where fix was already posted for this.

[valkyrie29]

I use paypal v2.2 with Prestshop Version 1.3.4.0.

if have not made any changes, maybe you can try get the originial files from original package to see if it fixes your problem. If you have made any changes, then try to redo it after replacing with original files.

elseif (($fp = @fsockopen('ssl://' . $paypalServer, 443, $errno, $errstr, 30)) || ($fp = @fsockopen($paypalServer, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30)))

this is the line that that seems to be the problem. I didn't alter the file myself, unless there is something on the back end or module configurations that would update/change this.

What should the code be changed to?

[tomerg3]

This line looks fine to me, I'm not sure why you think this is the cause.

Your permissions test gives me the error on line 57 and that is line 57 (and the following two lines.)

The is a "}" above it which i deleted, but then it gives me an error on the next line for the "elseif".

[tomerg3]

Did you make any changes to the file before this?

Can you post the entire file (as an attachment)

[valkyrie29]

Here is the file in its entirety.

As I mentioned above, I did not edit it manually.

validation.phpFetching info...

one more thing, where did you see that error, by going to a URL, is so, please post it as well.

Hi valkyrie29
I noticed that your validation.php is damaged. Please try the one I uploaded.

Like I mentioned in the first post, I used the Paypal checklist (link above) and copied
http://www.mysite.com/modules/paypal/validation.php into my browser.

[tomerg3]

if the file that shokinro attached does help, post the ACTUAL URL and not mysite.com (or send via PM)

[valkyrie29]

I tried the new validation.php, but I'm stuff not recieving Paypal orders in my back office.

here's the test link with my address:

I highly doubt that the file you attached is an unmodified one from the PS installation.

You should download a copy of Prestashop (same version you are using now), extract it locally and copy the paypal module from it to your server.

You can find older version of PS at http://sourceforge.net/projects/prestashop/files/prestashop v1/

Hi valkyrie29
I totally agree with tomerg3's suggestion. That is also my original suggestion.
You said you didn't change any files, but I found your file was damaged, so other files could also be damaged.
Maybe that is best to save everyone's time include yours.

[valkyrie29]

Thanks, y'all.
I manually copied a fresh Paypal module into my Modules folder and everything is showing up in the back office now!
Thanks fo being patient with me!

Suddenly received an IPN error msg from Paypal on this fault -

  Quote

 

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

 

http://www.mp-comp.c.../validation.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.

 

Can the validation.php posted above be used on PS 1.4.11.0, if so can it go into the PP module dir without any editing?

 

I do not see a validation.php file anywhere in the Paypal plugin dir, other modules do have it. It's not on the server.

 

Tried upgrading my PP module to 3.5.7 & discovered that I suddenly got the "You must register at least one phone number" error on a/c creation.

This http://www.prestashop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/100841-make-phone-number-not-required/page__view__findpost__p__661893 solved it.

 

Didn't expect these old issues to appear in this build of PS.
