Got warning mail from PayPal about PayPal IPN

[FunnyBunnyHelena]

Hello!

I don't understand much about the payment module so I need your help with this!

I have received purchases no problems so far, with exception for a couple of problems reported by customers.

Today I got this email from paypal:

Hello Helena,


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


http://store.funnybunny.se/ipn_main_handler.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.


Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.



Thanks,


PayPal

I use the PayPal 1.7.1 module for the payment not the API variety.

When I clicked on the address above in the message by Paypal the browser reported that the file is not found.

I use presta version 1.3.6.0 (I haven't had time to upgrade to 1.3.7 yet because this takes so much time from me to do the upgrade with editing the templates and all but I do plan to do it when I have much time over.)

Can you help me with this warning? I don't want Paypal to shut down me.

[FunnyBunnyHelena]

I got yet another warning. I am so worried now. May you help me? I would love to get all help I can get.
Thank you for reading.

You probably have IPN setup in your paypal account and have the url added there, you should turn it off. Go to your paypal account profile and edit IPN settings, disable it.

Thank you for your reply!
I have disabled it now. Hmm. I think it must be some old remainder from Zen-cart I had before?

Hopefully it will work better now.

I had this come up too just recently.
Checked on paypal account and the url wasn't there anyway.
Added it in and on the next pages clicked the box to turn IPN off.
We'll see how it goes again...

I am having issues with this too, so I would be interested in any feedback people can provide.

[FireHawk]

I haven't changed anything and it seems to have sorted itself out.
Maybe just a paypal glitch.

if you want to use IPN you must set up a listening url see the guide

[markjl]

Anything more succinct than 'read the guide' which says that you need to implement an IPN Listener and I'm free to use the language of my choice. Not being a cold fusion developer ....

 

 

You write your IPN listener in the scripting or programming language of your choice and host

it on your web server. You can use sample code provided by PayPal as a starting point.

The PayPal SDKs for PayPal Payments Standard contain sample code in various programming

languages that you can modify to create your own listener. As a good programming practice,

as well as to keep things simple, your IPN listener should listen for a post from PayPal and

dispatch it immediately to another routine or process that handles the business logic associated

with the message. If your listener is structured in this way, it will be a simple and tight loop

that listens for a message and dispatches it for processing by your application logic.

For a list of code samples for IPN, refer to the following link:

I've condensed (I hope) my problem here, thanks
