PayPal problem - Order not found

[Plank]

Hi,

My first customer has ordered a product from my site, and I've got a message from Paypal that I've received the money.

I've also got a message (an array with values) from the store about the Paypal IPN, and all details seems ok.

I've checked out zen_paypal_session table, and found that the session Id mentioned in the debug message is available in that table.

However, I do not see anything in the zen_orders table. The only way right now that I can view what my customer ordered is through the zen_customers_basket table and my server's visitor logs, but that would be a bit of guesswork!

Plus neither me, (and possibly) nor my customer got any email about the order.

Please help!

I'm using v1.3.8.

Here are the Server stats:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2009-02-20 13:30:01] (Fresh Installation)
v1.3.8 [2009-02-20 13:30:01] (Fresh Installation)

PHP Version: 5.2.8 (Zend: 2.2.0)
Database: MySQL 5.1.30

Thanks

Those are classic symptoms of failed communication from Paypal's server to your server, or failed processing once receiving communications from them.

With whom are you hosted?
What are the contents of the paypal ipn log files?

Yes... it does look so.

I tried doing a purchase myself, and after the completion, when I was about to return to my site from Paypal, I got an Internal Server Error (500) on the index.php?main_page=checkout_process&referer=paypal... link.

I am hosted with HostGator on a Shared Hosting.

Here are the debug messages:

There should be several steps after that. If it's failing there, then it's not storing the order to the database properly.

Plus, my error_log shows this message (probably the cause for the Internal Server Error?):

[07-Apr-2009 14:04:44] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function add() on a non-object in /public_html/shop/includes/functions/functions_email.php on line 287

No, that would not cause a 500 (Internal Server) error. But it does indicate that it's encountering an email failure.
However, since emails are sent *after* the order data is stored to the orders table, even if the email server rejects the email, you should still see the order in the admin.



To attempt to stop the "fatal" error when the email error occurs, try the following:
Edit /includes/auto_loaders/paypal_ipn.core.php
and add this to the end of the file (and remove the ?> on the last line if it exists in the file):

/**
 * Breakpoint 130.
 *
 * messageStack = new messageStack();
 *
 */
  $autoLoadConfig[130][] = array('autoType'=>'classInstantiate',
                                 'className'=>'messageStack',
                                 'objectName'=>'messageStack');

That worked wonders!

New orders can be seen in the Admin, and I'm also able to return to the Checkout Success page.

Thanks a lot for helping me out so quickly.

No problem. Have posted it as an official bugfix: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...287#post712287

[Plank]

Good to know that it may help others too.

However, there's still a small problem... no email is being fired from the shop either to me or to the customer. Any workarounds?

And is there any way to manually complete the failed order that I had written about in the first place? I know the item still exists in the customer's cart, but I want to "complete" the order without requiring the customer to again go through the process.

[Plank]

I'm using PHP as the E-Mail Transport Method and I did get the emails when I had tested by using Direct Bank Deposit module (although that is not being used anymore). I'm getting the IPN debug messages through email though!

(wanted to add this to the above message but was a bit late to edit it)

I'm not surprised, since the errors that were occurring earlier were a result of email problems. I see no obvious reason for there to be any problem with emailing when the PayPal module is sending vs anywhere else in the cart. Unless the email addresses are bad and being rejected, or something like that.

And is there any way to manually complete the failed order that I had written about in the first place? I know the item still exists in the customer's cart, but I want to "complete" the order without requiring the customer to again go through the process.

There is much discussion elsewhere about the PayPal Push Orders addon which can be used as a bandage. USE WITH CAUTION.

I don't think so, because I'm getting the IPN debug emails. Do you think if I provide any more information it may help you to detect a possible cause?
