Orders Issue in Admin using paypal

[aphrodisia]

I am doing another upgrade.

Do you recommend just transfering the 1.3.8a files directly to the live site?
Previously I used winmerge to compare and transfer over the changes. Which took a very long time.

I have the error logs (this could be due to the error I get in the previous response.

IPN NOTICE :: ipn_application_top -> language files okay

IPN INFO - POST VARS received (sorted):
Array
(
)

IPN FATAL ERROR :: No saved session data available to build order from IPN.
Cannot process this as an IPN-only transaction.
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 !! ***
IPN FATAL ERROR :: No saved session data available to build order from IPN.
Cannot process this as an IPN-only transaction.

That log report is not useful ... it's not an IPN from PayPal. It was generated by pointing your browser to the ipn_main_handler.php script. That won't tell you anything about why a transaction didn't complete when PayPal sent details to you.

I repeat:

Try setting up a fresh install of v1.3.8a in another folder+database and test some PayPal transactions. You'll likely find that it works just fine. Thus, if your upgraded site isn't working, then you've missed something during the upgrade.

ie ... uncustomized. Just install Zen Cart and get IPN working. After that, deal with adding your customizations, your data, etc.

Hi Dr Byte,

hope you have had a good day.

I have used winmerge to compare the live site files with a fresh download of the 1.3.8a version.

There were some differences found.

The error message is gone now when I do the test at

Please click on the link and let me know if this is fixed.

I am getting the message "Nothing to process. Please return to home page"

I have not done a order yet to see if it is displaying in the admin section. I will get my client to do this part.

Thanks for checking up on my issue.

Please check back soon if possible just incase my orders have not come in to admin.

Thanxs for your support

That is to be expected. The true test is now doing an actual transaction.

Hi Dr Byte,

the orders are not displaying in admin.

I have setup a SSL certificate on admin and there is an error coming up on domain name mismatch.

Could this be the issue?

I will see if I can see any errors in the logs.

I found the problem to be the SSL certificate had a certificate error on the domain name mismatch. Orders are now working again in shop admin.

I hope I have saved others from a lot of time in finding a solution to the errors and problem I encountered during upgrade and orders not coming to admin.

It was not paypal or the hosting company, simple SSL certificate error.

Thanks for your assistance DR Byte.

Hi aphrodisia, it seems that this is the same problem discussed here,

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...the+new+orders

it seems that i did the same thing and got the same error you got. but i did backup everything including my store files and database before i upgraded just in case i need to put the 1.3.7.1 back, after upgrading to 1.3.8a things went haywire and got scared, so i put everything back the way it was for 1.3.7.1 but now when customers make a purchase i get the payment but there is nothing reported in the admin. does this sound like the same problem you had and fixed! can you please give us a step by step as to how you solved the problem? thanks
