ipn_main_handler.php is a blank page

[wokcy]

I'm using Zencart v1.3.9c

I'm using paypal checkout express.

Upon payment whn i click the paypal checkout button it directs me to www.mydomain.com/ipn_main_handler.php?type=ec but it shows a blank page on my browser.

Here is the log file I got from includes/modules/payment/paypal/log

Sep 28 2010 3:34 -- IPN PROCESSING INITIATED.

Might be an Express Checkout or eBay transaction or some other action that triggers PayPal IPN notifications.

Could be a test notification, or the incoming IPN notification is not actually a bonafide PayPal transaction.

I hope someone can help me with regards to this problem.

That is typical log content when you access ipn_main_handler directly from the browser, as explained by the messages within the log file itself.

hi DrByte... my bad,yes I did try to browse that file directly in my browser.

but do you have a solution for me, why I keep having a blank page after clicking the paypal checkout process?

A blank page generally means you're encountering a PHP error. That's usually a result of corrupt files, bad addons, incomplete FTP uploads, or just plain wrong editing of files.
