orders page not showing orders

[heidikfi]

........after that I uninstalled the paypal module, uploaded fresh files and installed, and tested. No change. Money disappears but customer gets nothing, and no orders show up in admin.
I've read through another long thread and gone through Merlin's tutorial. Nothing they suggest has improved my situation.
The only thing I know is that port 80 is open and port 443 is unavailable.
My shop is in a subfolder.

Time to go to sleep.

I really hope no one buys anything from me before this one is fixed.

OK,

I solved this myself.
I wondered why the last three options of the PayPal install don't show up. The debug and test alternatives.
I went looking for them in admin/tools/developer's tool kit.
I found the rows of code in paypal.php and changed the mail to Yes and put in my email address.
Then I bought the test item for around the 20th time, and voila, I got emails, just one row per email. One of them stated that port 80 is closed. Now this is funny, the ISP said it's open!
Ok, they admitted it was open only inbound, so they opened it outbound too. Now the payment works. Finally.



Summer has come.

Marianne:
I think I have a similar problem to what you experienced. Except I have no idea how to manipulate the PHP file to get the debug and test functions to work. can you enlighten me?
