V154 Still Getting Handshake Error After Upgrade

[DrByte]

For both of you, please post the URL to your site ... I'm specifically interested in visiting the your_site.com/extras/curltester.php?paypal=1 page to see what results it gives there.
And then make the same CURLOPT_SSLVERSION change there (comment it out), and look at the output again.

I've seen reports of 1 hosting company whose server configuration is bad and it can't autonegotiate a compatible SSL version, and in that case one must be specifically set ... in which case uncommenting the CURLOPT_SSLVERSION line is necessary, and instead of setting it to 3, set it to 4 or 5 or 6, testing each choice using curltester.php ... then once a working option is found for your server, make the same change to paypal_curl.php ... and then make note that your hosting company does things weird ;)

Sorry, I did not post on a few of the other threads with the same issue because I did not want to hijack someone else's issues in case they are not the same.

My site is www.filmjackets.com and the store is www.filmjackets.com/ecommerce3/

Don't mind the appearance of the site, because I have not bothered to fix the template until I can accept orders.

EDIT: Not sure if it is relevant, but I just received a membership payment through the Wordpress portion of the site via PayPal. It probably means nothing but I thought I would mention it just in case...

Okay, as I hinted at in an earlier post, try this:

paypal_curl.php ... you had commented out CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 3

Instead, uncomment it and change the 3 to either 4 or 6, and then try getting to Express Checkout. Do you still get the handshake error?

This is not an ideal approach, but it can get around some misconfigured server problems.

I do not have CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 3 in the current version of the file since I installed new.

I am looking under includes/modules/payments/paypal/paypal_curl.php

Am I in the wrong file?

[DrByte]

You are correct: in v1.5.4 that won't be present.

But since your server is apparently not able to auto-negotiate, I'm suggesting that you force it to a value that's current "today" (no guarantees about tomorrow).

So, you'll have to manually add it to v1.5.4

Find this line (around line 55):

CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 45,

Add a new line below it, saying this:

CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 4,

I still get a blank page.

I still get a blank page.

A blank page is typically caused by a PHP error occurring, and normally those are logged to /logs/myDebug-xxxxxxxx.log
What's the content of the latest myDebug-xxxxx.log file in that folder when you trigger that blank page?
