URL rewriting from Ceon to Utimate URL.

I don't wish to start anything. Knowing that the CEON software hasn't been fully updated for ZC 1.5.3 by including the folder with the same name in the installation package based on posts in the same forum, I was curious about why the change?

When I upgraded to 1.5.3 I had a problem with using the PayPal Express option. It gave the error "CancelURL is invalid". I narrowed the issue down to the CEON module. I went live without any URL remapping. Tried the Ultimate URLs on my test site and did not get the Paypal error. So I put it on my live site.

You didn't happen to have the rewritecond that is listed in the instructions as something like .htm|.html|.php did you? In the .htaccess file? If so, that is a known issue to include and is documented in the forum to not work with paypal express...

Regardless I'm working on something with the rewriter on a 1.5.3 site and will be sure to test that aspect now that the comment has been made. Thank you for pointing that issue out, will see if it is reproducible when using the suggested .htaccess file made by the software.

I still have a copy of the original .htaccess file and there is no mention of .htm|etc. The CEON module worked fine for me on version 1.5.1.

Thank you for checking. Another question, when the new store was tested, was it located in the same location as the old store? Ie, did the return address in paypal set to go back to the 1.5.3 site or the previous version's location? (I don't recall the comparison results, but I thought there were some changes to files associated with paypal and I don't know if that means/meant ipnhandler as well... (I'm about done installing paypal credentials to test, this issue.)

So, I have products mapped, but not say the other uris such as main_page=shopping_cart, but I went to and cancelled a purchase and was successfully brought back to the cart. Will try to provide payment information and come back to the cart.

As I recall it would not even go to Paypal. I just got an error message.
My test site worked OK with Paypal Express at first, but I eventually worked out that was because I did not have Ceon activated on the test site. As it is under the same domain as my live site. ie /store/ vs /store_test/.
When I moved the 1.5.3 version to my live site, with Ceon activated, that is when the Paypal problem started. I quickly went back to my 1.5.1 copy for the live site, as at the time I did not really know what was causing the error.
After a bit of trial and error, and hair pulling, I eventually activated Ceon on the test site and got the same paypal error as what the live site did previously.

But, with the 1.5.3 site, ceon installed but deactivated, you were able to get to paypal, correct? Having just activated the paypal credentials I was going to try, I'm wondering if I need to wait a few "minutes" or if there is something similar going on. (Or of course I could have setup paypal express incorrectly, which at the moment, I'm thinking ny of these issues could be true.) :)
