Problem with Paypal connection - Error (28) connect() timed out!

[twi]

put those 2 files in your root instead of having them in your extras folder. then run it. it did just that and it gives me some results that I don't understand which I reported above.

is your UPS mod working? mine was working intermittently, and not working at all now.

I guess now it's time to contact my host.

I only ship USPS.

Did you ever get anything resolved with NetSol? That's where I'm hosted also.

I know I said we mostly don't have anything to ship, but we do have ups installed. Where are you getting the dropped connection? I was able to add an item to the cart, select usps, then came back to shipping, selected ups, then came back again, and at all times had shipping rates showing. Is it later when paying that the problem occurs?

How do I run a traceroute from my site to paypal?

How do I run a traceroute from my site to paypal?

There are several "programs" out there to install and take advantage of traceroute already available by your host if it is, otherwise had found some that use sockets calls to cycle through, if sockets is enabled.

Otherwise, I hadn't found anything for which I had enough access rights to iniatate. Be sure that if/when you do that it is tcp port 443 that is used. Port 80 (default) won't tell you anything useful.

My understanding of those results is that where ever ipncheck was successful, you could use paypal basic (IPN) at least as far as your software is concerned. (Not sure if it establishes communication with paypal or not.). Where the paypal curl failed indicates that paypal express will likely not work. Where you ran just curltester.php, with success indicates that curl works and works with the zencart site. Where tested curl with ups, well, version used for 1.5.0 doesn't know what to do with a ups flag so defaults to zen cart. So no results related to ups there. Just that curl works. May also want to test with ssl=1 to ensure able to have ssl connection and that that is not a problem.

NO. They replied yesterday (after a whole week later) that said I have to call them. Let me know if you get anything from them.

So does your USPS Mod work?

Exactly the same thing. If you view shopping cart, quotes are not shown. If you go check out, ups rates intermittently shows. After selecting method for shipping, it will at times either say " your shipping methods have changed and displays the same thing again over and over again. Or at times it says that Unable to get UPS quotes.

I was not able to get anything the past 2 days and all my customers were calling on the matter, which I hopelessly can't fix.

I tried today again, and it appears to be working intermittently again.

As far as payal, Express check out still does not work. standard does. But if UPS doesn't quote rate, then The customer will not even get to the confirm button to see the Paypal Standard page where they log in to pay.

Paypal standard seems to be working as long as UPS provides a quote and get you to the Zencart confirm page.

Let me know if you find out anything on this, because I am loosing all my sales. Hosting doesn't seem to care or they are clueless as well.

Can you help me interpret mine as well. I am really desperate. So what exactly is working and what is not working with me. I am confused.

After testing, I have the following results for all 4 of my urls (from 2 zc151 sites and 2 zc 139h sites):
