linkpoint api setup and usage

[cssteacy]

Hello,
I have linkpoint api setup on zencart with godaddy hosting. I have SSL setup and I went through the tutorial for the LinkPoint API moduel setup a couple of times. When I go to the URL http://www.ifofitness.com/store/extr...hp?linkpoint=1 to test it as suggested on other postings I get the information below:

28 connect() timed out!

To me it seems like a connection issue but I double checked with godaddy and they sent the cURL that I should be using and that's what I checked/double checked and it is correct. In production mode I have no transactions under LinkPoint cc Review even though logging is on. On testing I get an error stating something like to contact the store owner for additional payment options because there is not a connection. Please let me know what else I can try. Thank you in advance.

You can't use Linkpoint with GoDaddy because GoDaddy refuses to open port 1129 on their firewall unless you upgrade to their expensive premium hosting services. Find another host that charges reasonable rates and provides usable servers, or choose a different payment module.

I think the GoDaddy solution is to use their proxy server - http://help.godaddy.com/article/289?

I'm not sure how to configure yet....still looking.

That would be a great idea ... if GoDaddy were to actually open port 1129.
But, they won't ... unless you upgrade to their expensive premium hosting services.
