LinkPoint_API and GoDaddy (for Zen Cart v1.5.1 and older)
THIS APPLIES ONLY TO ZEN CART v1.5.1 AND OLDER, and only when using the Linkpoint-API module.
FYI ... If you're using GoDaddy hosting and want to use First Data's Linkpoint API as your payment gateway, you will have to upgrade to one of GoDaddy's more expensive "Virtual Hosting" or "Dedicated Hosting" packages.
Why?
LinkPoint needs to use cURL on port 1129.
On GoDaddy's "Shared Hosting" package, only ports 80, 8080, 443 are available via cURL.
If you upgrade to one of their Virtual/Dedicated packages, port 1129 is automatically available for you.
Or ... you could switch to another hosting company

Re: LinkPoint and GoDaddy
I am very much not suprised.
Re: LinkPoint and GoDaddy
I have VPS with Godaddy however I have issues connecting to Linkpoint.
Eventhough godaddy claims that the port 1129 is open I still receive an error "unable to connect to server"
I registered at a different shared host to test if my files are correct. No problems there.
still trying to figure things out.
There was no help either from tech support at Linkpoint
Re: LinkPoint and GoDaddy
I would make sure that if you plan on using linkpoint,
you determin if a host is Linkpoint friendly before signing up
Re: LinkPoint and GoDaddy
you do that by calling Linkpoint's tech support ?
Re: LinkPoint and GoDaddy

Re: LinkPoint and GoDaddy
Is there a particular reason you are using a "CGI" hosting plan?These settings aren't used by Zen Cart.
Did you download and install the PEM file from your LinkPoint account as directed in the readme?
