PayPal IPN return URL

[dealbyethan.com]

Hi,

I have recently moved my zencart v1.2.7 from a folder called "cart" to the root directory. How do I update my PayPal IPN return URL? At the moment it is shown as:
http://dealbyethan.com/cart/index.ph...eckout_process
Do I change it to:
http://dealbyethan.com/index.php?mai...eckout_process

Does reinstalling the PayPal module necessary? Please let me know. Thank you.

Best regards,
Ethan

Yes you will need to uninstall and re-install through the admin

Hi Merlinpa,

Thanks for your reply. I have been using the instructions to set up the PayPal IPN return URL. I did a test purchase through PayPal. But I didn't receive a "New order confirmation" email. I used to be able to receive that before moving zencart to the root directory.
If I choose to pay by other payment methods, the "New order confirmation" will come through. Do you know what went wrong? Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Ethan

Hi DrByte,

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, I have been trying to troubleshoot the problem. But no luck so far.

Do you think the reason why i stop receiving "New order confirmation" email when someone uses PayPal to checkout is because I moved my zencart v.1.2.7 to the root directory? Also, which .htaccess file do I check for any 'deny from' statements and to ensure none of them are addresses related to PayPal?

No this is not the issue,
zen cart can work anywhere
the issue is that you are running the SEO Urls and have NOT told it to bypass paypal IPN

this is the address beiong passed to paypal
http://dealbyethan.com/ipn_main_handler.php.html

this DOSNT EXSIST. thats why its failing,

Hi Merlinpa,

Thanks for pointing that out. Can you provide me with some instructions to fix this please? How do I tell the SEO URL to bypass PayPal IPN?

Also, what do you mean exactly when you said
http://dealbyethan.com/ipn_main_handler.php.html
doesn't exist?

Thanks again,

Regards,
Ethan

lok at the line I posted.
inp_main_handler.php.html is NOT a file

Insert following line to file seo.url.php after the line number 141, the file under directory includes/classes/seo.url.php

// to fix paypal IPN problem
// don't rewrite the paypal IPN notify url
 if ($page == 'ipn_main_handler.php') {
  return $this->stock_href_link($page, $parameters, $connection, $add_session_id, true, $static, $use_dir_ws_catalog);
 }
