Problem with Paypal connection - Error (28) connect() timed out!

[mc12345678]

I've tried to run both curltester.php and ipnchecker.php and each time I get a 404 error page. I have checked and have both php files in my extras folder. The url I am using is the correct one, yet neither test will work. Suggestions?

I've already sent an email to AT&T and want to also contact Network Solutions but would like to be able to provide them with the test results.

In summary, follow the instructions posted at http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...-Testing-Tools

Instead of downloading the files, copy them over to the location identified in that post to run curltester.php and ipncheck.php.

So, interesting thing, ran a traceroute from local computer, results end at gi1-1-ash1-br01.net.ebay.com [66.211.161.237]; however, paypal processing works from local computer. This is a similar result identified by AT&T. Is problem then still probably/likely in AT&T, even though my traceroute didn't go through AT&T and that they can't see that they are having a problem because something isn't making it to/through their service?

Before discussing this further, what was the exact traceroute command that you are using for testing?

Unless you enable TCP and specify port 443 it is unlikely your results are telling you much at all.

I followed the instructions in that post. The issue is when I run curltester.php and ipncheck.php I get 403: Forbidden page. I downloaded the ipncheck zip file from that thread and replaced the ipncheck file in my extras folder and tried again with the same result. I'm using 1.3.9h. I'd like to get this resolved so customers can start using paypal again. I've contacted AT&T but they want my hosts IP address. I'm waiting to get a script from the curltester or ipncheck so I can provide them with it. Any other suggestions?

put those 2 files in your root instead of having them in your extras folder. then run it. it did just that and it gives me some results that I don't understand which I reported above.

is your UPS mod working? mine was working intermittently, and not working at all now.

[RNRN]

Thank twi! That worked.

Here are the results:

IPNCHECK.PHP - Version 1.3.9

IPN TESTING - Response Received via CURL -- COMMUNICATIONS OKAY



IPN TESTING - Confirmation/Validation response with fsockopen(): FSOCKOPEN() RESPONSE RECEIVED - Communications OKAY



Default method likely to be used for communications is: CURL, with the fallback method being FSOCKOPEN if possible.

Script finished.

I guess now it's time to contact my host.

I only ship USPS.

Did you ever get anything resolved with NetSol? That's where I'm hosted also.

NO. They replied yesterday (after a whole week later) that said I have to call them. Let me know if you get anything from them.

So does your USPS Mod work?
