    Default Problematic Paypal

    I just installed ZenCart v1.3.9f via the one-click install with Dreamhost.
    Everything worked great, setting up the product page, prices and everything, as well as shipping and payment modules...
    Until I came to Paypal.
    First, I ran through the steps, upgrading to a business account and inputting the required links to the Instant Payment Notification and Website Payments Automatic Return URL and all that jazz.
    Then I ran through the required steps, putting in my Paypal ID and PDT, then left everything default.
    At the moment, it's sitting there, saying "processing." From reading the forums, I figured this was normal, so I proceeded to click the Paypal Express module install button.
    It immediately snapped back to the Paypal Website Payments Standard, installing nothing, the button still red.
    I'm using Zencart to set up a preorder for a limited edition comic I'm putting out this September, so I need paypal functionality with a quickness.

    Is there something I missed? Does the site require a few days to authorize paypal transactions or something? Is there a 2-3 day delay while the account (verified and working, been using it for business before, but not as a "paypal business" thing) is changed to a business account? Do I need to contact Dreamhost admin to ensure that port 80 is open?
    I don't expect an answer to all these questions... I'm more postulating as to what the problem may be. XP

    Thanks for your time.

    First, you installed PayPal Website Payments Standard.
    Then you tried to install Express Checkout, which is the advanced version of Website Payments Standard. But, you can't have both enabled at the same time, so it took you back to the Standard module, and displayed a red "Sorry, you can't do that without removing Standard first" message at the top of the screen.

    I do recommend that you use Express Checkout instead of Website Payments Standard.

    So ... click on your Website Payments Standard module. Then click the "REMOVE" button.
    The click on Express Checkout, and click the Install button.
    Then configure your Express Checkout according to the instructions: www.zen-cart.com/getpaypal
    .
