*BSD server question (mostly regarding payflow pro binaries)

[jayroh]

Having gone through a disasterous "upgrade" attempt between x-cart and miva I decided to move our company to a smaller host, and use Zen Cart.

The new host, however, is a BSD-based solution. Normally this isn't a problem. However since they use payflow pro as their payment option, and the payflow pro module for ZC has a couple of binaries needed for it to be functional - I wanted to ask if this would be a problem. Will the binaries compiled with the Payflow Pro payment module work within the context of a BSD system?

Looking at the files' information I see:

$ file pfpro
pfpro: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

It's an ELF executable that I tried running on my Macbook Pro (intel) which didn't work. Will I run into the same issues if I install this at my BSD-based webhost?

(I guess this is slightly directed at DrByte, but if anyone else can inform me then I GREATLY appreciate it.)

What version of Zen Cart are you trying to run?

[jayroh]

The very latest version - I just downloaded it yesterday. 1.3.8

[DrByte]

1.3.8a or 1.3.8?
Best to use the latest esp if just doing a fresh install.

Do you have a Payflow Pro account, or a Website Payments Pro account?

[jayroh]

I guess it's 1.3.8a ... I just checked the tarball I downloaded.

as for the PFP stuff - my client's using it already with another cart and it's functional. So yes - we have an account with Payflow Pro.

[DrByte]

Try the attached files ... you must have v1.3.8a or newer installed before using these files.
This is not yet fully-tested and may have some display quirks.
It only runs on 1.3.8a, and is for PayPal Payflow Pro specifically.


UPDATE!!!!!!!!!
Use THIS version of the addon instead: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=321


The attached file is old, and still points to the older verisign services

[jayroh]

Pardon my ignorance, but - do these new files circumvent the fact that this would be on a bsd server? I'm mostly concerned with the fact the binaries in the distribution look like they were compiled for Linux. What do these new files have going for them in comparison to the previous version?

Regardless - Thanks for all the help so far good sir :).

What do these new files have going for them in comparison to the previous version?

They are a complete rewrite, using a more modern Payflow API ... which doesn't need the PHP binaries on your server. It just requires CURL+SSL.

Hello,

quick questions: is this MOD for this below( i took that from the paypal website):

Website Payments Pro Payflow Edition

Website Payments Pro Payflow Edition is the Payflow Pro payment gateway solution that uses PayPal as the Internet Merchant Account to process Express Checkout or Direct Payment credit card transactions online.

thanks

The zip that Dr Byte posted is indeed for Payflow Pro.

By the way - it works absolutely beautifully. Got my first Zen Cart store up, running, skinned, and processing orders without fail.

My thanks to the entire Zen Cart community :)
