Was this information Helpful?

In Watchdog Log, I see "uc_paypal" records such as "IPN transaction verified." and "Receiving IPN at URL for order 123." When I follow either of those links the detail shows a Location of {site}/uc_paypal/ipn/123. Following that links results in a blank page (not a page not found error). I do not have a {site}/uc_paypal folder on my site.

So, for a lark, I created {site}/uc_paypal and gave it 777 permissions. Still nothing gets written into that folder and the link continues to show a blank page.

I'm just learning, so I have no idea what that page is supposed to look like. I'm trying to work through all this and get comfortable with PayPal before I migrate my test site to live.

Any thoughts?

Re: No {site}/uc_paypal/ipn/### Folder?

Yeah, that URL is where PayPal is posting the IPN information and from which the watchdog comment was made. There's nothing for you to view there. By browsing to it, the white screen is just showing you what gets returned to PayPal once an IPN has been processed... a.k.a. nothing. Smiling

If you want to view the contents of an IPN, you can set it to log this data. I'd recommend not doing that once you go live, especially if you're going to have a significant number of transactions.

Thanks for the info, Ryan. I

Thanks for the info, Ryan.

I thought the blank was an indication that something was wrong. Glad to hear that's not the case.

I turned on logging of the data array. I see lots of info there. Are there any specific fields that are critical indicators that all is OK or not OK?

Re: Thanks for the info, Ryan. I

If you're getting "IPN received" and "transaction verified" messages in Watchdog then everything is working. Why are you worried about critical indicators? Have you experienced any issues with PayPal?
