Paypal was working, now has stopped

[suitcasejem]

Hi,

I successfully bought a test product for £0.01 from my store (http://www.iscapeart.com/store) on 21st May, using Paypal. Everything went through fine and it appears in the admin. No problems.

Having done some cosmetic work to the site, then returning to check out Gift Certificates, I found that it wasn't working when I bought them. Got an email from Paypal, but my store did not register the purchase. I tried buying a gift certificate via a check/money order and it was fine, so I know that works!

I then tried to purchase the same normal test product that worked on 21st May and, surprise surprise, it didn't work. Get an email from Paypal, but I have an order number of"1" and nothing registers with the store. I have gone through all Merlin's troubleshooting advice for Paypal and everything is as it should be. Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

I have the same problem. A solution would be very nice.

Well, if it worked,
now it doesn't
lets ask what have we done?
what has the HOST done?

arni a good place to start is to answer the questions I posted,
what changes have you made since paypal worked
what changes has your host made since paypal last worked,

there is a reason it STOPPED working and if you havnt made changes then ask your host if they have added firewall rules

Have emailed my host to ask about firewalls and ports.

Am trying to think what I have done in the interim period, and the answer is nothing but CSS changes.

I noticed that when Paypal directs me back to the checkout success page, an extra forward slash appears, so that in the address bar the URL looks like this:

http://www.iscapeart.com/store//index.php?main_page=checkout_success

This is definitely NOT how it's entered in Paypal. Could this be a problem?

Also it automatically changes the mode for web services from

www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

to

www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr

when customers are sent to pay. I changed this is in the Zen Cart admin to match with what paypal was doing, and it didn't seem to have an effect.

Sounds like something might be off in your file:
/includes/configure.php

Could you post the one from your server, without your username and password?
