genpix Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'm trying to configure PayPal gateway (1.0.5) in my store. There are not many options there to set (everything looks obvious). When I press Test Endpoint button i receive Error message: Failed to connect to PayPal. More information can be found in the request log. In the log, I see the following lines: Today, 09:11 Request Sent - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr 0=null&1=1 Response received What does that mean? What a "normal" log is supposed to look like? also, when I try to place an order on my web-site (using test account), after choosing PayPal method of payment and pressing "Checkout" button I'm get redirected to "www.MYWEBSITE.com/index.php?_a=gateway" page, but the page is empty (probably because of the above error). I also tried to configure PayPal Pro & Express Checkout plug-in (I selected "Express Checkout Only" option). Test Endpoint failed with exactly the same error (same log entry). Is it my Web-Host server problem? What information I have to provide my Web-host tech support to seek help? Added: I just noticed that Currency "Fetch Rates" failed as well: Today, 10:28 Request Sent - http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml null=0 Response received while similar request from 2 weeks ago worked fine (in the same log): 2016-08-24 09:57 Request Sent - http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml null=0 Response received <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gesmes:Envelope xmlns:gesmes="http://www.gesmes.org/xml/2002-08-01" xmlns="http://www.ecb.int/vocabulary/2002-08-01/eurofxref"> <gesmes:subject>Reference rates</gesmes:subject> <gesmes:Sender> <gesmes:name>European Central Bank</gesmes:name> </gesmes:Sender> <Cube> <Cube time='2016-08-24'> <Cube currency='USD' rate='1.1268'/> <Cube currency='JPY' rate='112.95'/> <Cube currency='BGN' rate='1.9558'/> <Cube currency='CZK' rate='27.022'/> <Cube currency='DKK' rate='7.4432'/> <Cube currency='GBP' rate='0.85130'/> <Cube currency='HUF' rate='309.99'/> <Cube currency='PLN' rate='4.3039'/> <Cube currency='RON' rate='4.4597'/> <Cube currency='SEK' rate='9.4545'/> <Cube currency='CHF' rate='1.0891'/> <Cube currency='NOK' rate='9.2460'/> <Cube currency='HRK' rate='7.4920'/> <Cube currency='RUB' rate='73.0561'/> <Cube currency='TRY' rate='3.3290'/> <Cube currency='AUD' rate='1.4782'/> <Cube currency='BRL' rate='3.6463'/> <Cube currency='CAD' rate='1.4581'/> <Cube currency='CNY' rate='7.5013'/> <Cube currency='HKD' rate='8.7370'/> <Cube currency='IDR' rate='14969.54'/> <Cube currency='ILS' rate='4.2506'/> <Cube currency='INR' rate='75.6268'/> <Cube currency='KRW' rate='1264.96'/> <Cube currency='MXN' rate='20.8945'/> <Cube currency='MYR' rate='4.5537'/> <Cube currency='NZD' rate='1.5400'/> <Cube currency='PHP' rate='52.396'/> <Cube currency='SGD' rate='1.5257'/> <Cube currency='THB' rate='39.013'/> <Cube currency='ZAR' rate='15.9380'/> </Cube> </Cube> </gesmes:Envelope> Are these errors related?

genpix Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Update: I went to my cPanel settings and just for giggles decided to reconfirm the PHP version settings. My account was configured to use PHP version 5.6, I went ahead and selected 5.6 again ant hit "change version". After that, Paypal Test Endpoint started to work properly !!! I have no idea why this stupid PHP version change (from 5.6 to 5.6) worked. I compared new .php.ini with my old back-uo. Files are identical! Anyway: now my side is kinda working. But .... I can not do a check-out using Firefox ( .../index.php?_a=gateway is an empty page, and there is no any redirections). Surprisingly, Google Chrome works just fine, this page gets redirected to PayPal web-site. Have not checked IE yet (I don't have it installed). What can cause Firefox to stuck on an empty page .../index.php?_a=gateway (after hitting "Checkout" button)? added: I just tried to place an order as a guest (without creating an account on my web-site), and I was redirected to PayPal web-site after clicking on "Checkout" button. It is a problem only if I create an account first and then try to do a checkout, then I see an empty page. any ideas why this is happening?

bsmither Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The "re-installation" of PHP 5.6 is a weird one - no doubt. For CubeCart's Request functions, it uses cURL, a PHP add-on functionality, to make communications with outside web sites. Maybe your host had this switched off, and "re-installing" PHP switched it back on again. Please create an error_log and examine its contents when you next get a blank page.
