Was this information Helpful?

I am having a problem getting PayPal IPNs from PayPal to my web host. Any order placed stays in "Pending" and the PayPal transaction ID is "unknown". I did some digging around in my PayPal IPN logs and they all look like this:

Message ID: *************
Date/time created: 3/22/2010 13:43 PDT
Original/Resent: Original
Latest delivery attempt date/time: 3/22/2010 13:46 PDT
Notification URL: http://www.*****.com/uc_paypal/ipn/1
HTTP response code: 403
Delivery status: Retrying
No. of retries: 5
Transaction ID: *************
IPN type: Transaction made

Is there some permissions I need to change in Drupal to allow PayPal to access /uc_paypal/ipn? (the 403 seems to indicate an access denied issue)

This is on a new Drupal install. I a clean only Drupal 6, ubercart 2 and the required modules to eliminated the possibility of interfering modules. I followed the setup guilds and reread several times to make sure I didn't miss anything. I have my return URL in paypal setup properly, and have tried both with IPN off in PayPal and with it On pointed to uc_paypal/ipn. I have tried both the release and dev builds of Ubercart. Also, my host is 1&1 but I would prefer solutions that didn't involve changing hosts.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

Re: PayPal IPN 403 - Order Status Pending

Here is what the 1&1 log looks like:

66.x.x.x- - [22/Mar/2010:02:18:12 -0400] "POST /uc_paypal/ipn/20 HTTP/1.0" 403 - www.*****.com "-" "-" "-"

Could this be related to clean urls and the rewrite rules in .htaccess?

Re: Re: PayPal IPN 403 - Order Status Pending

Seems it was a 1&1 issue. I never resolve it so I switch to site5, mirrored my site and everything works perfectly.

same issue but can't resolve

when u say you switched to site5, does that mean you switched to another hosting plan or another server? I am getting something similar. thoughts?

also, what is a 1&1?

Re: same issue but can't resolve

1 & 1 is a hosting provider, and I switched to site5.com, which is another hosting provider (server).

You error looks similar, but you might make sure your mod_rewrite rules in your .htaccess file are set up properly .

Re: Re: same issue but can't resolve

I'd still like to know how to find that log...

but the trouble I was having I figured out.

I found this thread when I was having transactions stuck at pending.
In my case it was because I had secure site module asking for a username and password (it was a dev site we didn't want people looking at). Setting secure site to "never" require auth. allowed the information to trigger moving the order status to payment received.

Re: PayPal IPN 403 - Order Status Pending

I had the same problem and it involved one of my spam modules blocking paypal ipn access as suspicious...

FWIW...
