PPEx button does not send to paypal

[jaylee]

I am kind of new at this, and I am at a total loss.
When customer clicks on the paypal express, it should take them to paypal login. Instead it just goes back to my homepage.

i am using Zencart 1.3.9

I have tried to uninstall all payment modules, and reinstall them and I am still having this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just thought I would mention, that I have uninstalled PPE, and installed Paypal standard, and everything works fine.

Forgot to mention my website:

Very unusual behaviour.
Thus this is how I'd tackle it: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Obscure_Issues

OK, so I have compared all my files with the original installation of Zen Cart, and other than the CEON URI, Image Handler mods, and the differences in the CSS pages, I do not find what could be causing this problem. Has anyone seen this, or direct me where I should look next...
Thanks much !!

Seems like you're missing the /ipn_main_handler.php file, or you have a so-called SEO addon that's got overly aggressive rewrite rules set up such that it's breaking normal functionality.

I do have the /ipn_main_handler.php file in the root directory. I will try to verify what other mods have been installed.
My .htaccess doesn't seem to do any aggressive overwrite rules. It looks like this:
RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin**** [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Well, trying to access your /ipn_main_handler.php file redirects you to your home page. Until you fix that it's impossible to determine what else might be wrong, if anything.

[jaylee]

I really don't know what to do. Instead of sending me to paypal, I go to :
http://jayleesmarket.com/ipn_main_ha...=1&stage=final

but no paypal. Why is this happening ? What can I do to find the problem?

Thanks so much !

As I said, your .htaccess is redirecting all requests for ipn_main_handler to your home page instead.

I got it to work by removing the .htaccess file from the root directory, disabling CEON URI and setting cURL to false.
But I would have liked to have the CEON URI module to work properly with paypal express.
Anyone have both functioning together ?
