    Default Ipn fatal error

    Hi all.

    I'm still testing all the facets of my store before it goes live and have received this:

    Code:
    IPN FATAL ERROR :: Could not find stored session in DB, cannot re-create session as PayPal IPN transaction
    From what I can tell, this is telling me that it is a new order. Am I on the right track here?

    No, if that's the *only* message you're getting, then that message means you've received an IPN notification for a transaction that did not originate in your store. Perhaps from eBay or something else.

    These are all the messages that I received:

    1.
    IPN PROCESSING INITIATED.
    *** Originating IP: I removed the IP address
    ppp121-44-62-34.lns20.syd6.internode.on.net
    *** Browser/User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US;
    rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
    2.
    IPN FATAL ERROR :: No POST data available -- Most likely initiated by browser and not PayPal.


    *** The rest of this log report can most likely be ignored !! ***
    3.
    IPN FATAL ERROR :: Could not find stored session in DB, cannot re-create session as PayPal IPN transaction.
    4.
    IPN FATAL ERROR :: No saved IPN session data available. Must be an Express Checkout or Direct Pay transaction.

    5.
    IPN INFO - POST VARS received (sorted):
    Array
    (
    )
    Message 2 said 'The rest of this log report can most likely be ignored'. MOST LIKELY. I wasn't sure if I should, hence this post.

    You can ignore it. Message #2 confirms that the IP address in #1 was actually you testing whether the IPN script would respond at all. And, since no PayPal-related data was present, it knew to ignore and abort.
