HTTP 500 errors in Paypal IPN checkout??

[BDCreations]

I checked this file as it is now on my site compared to the old one in my backup and they are IDENTICAL according to winmerge....go figure...any other ideas?

Gonna go start combing through the directories dr.byte suggests and compare files but still have no idea what jargon to change and what to leave alone...

To be a bit more specific, this is probably the file you editted and the first file I would check.

Step 1 of 3 is:
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php

[BDCreations]

I have gone through the directories you stated and found numerous files that are not identical BUT they are code jargon differences and nothing I have changed...is it only MY CHANGES I am supposed to be looking for correct??

Just a thought-- what about currency of the upgrade? I had everything switched to CANADIAN funds which when I did it caused problems as everything of course was set to US...would something possibly have gotten switched back to US???

Please do tell me what in the world I am suppsoed to do with this mess really...any way to get rid of the new version and go back! LOL

You're looking for a simple "look here" answer when there is none.

Checkout uses:
/includes/auto_loaders/*
/includes/classes/*
/includes/extra_cart_actions/*
/includes/extra_configures/*
/includes/extra_datafiles/*
/includes/functions/*
/includes/init_includes/*
/includes/languages/english/*
/includes/modules/pages/checkout_xxxxx/*
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/checkout_xxxxx*
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/checkout_xxxxx*
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/*
/includes/templates/template_default/common/*
and more

NOTE: all "*" references above include all files and folders and files inside any subfolders

You could try switching back to US currency.

You could ask your Hoster if they have a backup from before this started. New Customers / Orders since then will not show up along with any other changes / updates done.

According to our server company we do not have access to the error logs..

Who are they?

Currency shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I created the local directory and the configure.php page with the code you listed and uploaded it all to the site....nada

I still have no idea what this first step in checkout actually is..is it a shipping address error? an error in the 2 payment options? I am totally clueless where to even being to look..or what I am looking for? Changes should be in MY additions/changes not in code jargon right? cause there are ALOT of code differences in the new upgrade but nothing I did...

Here's a tip that sometimes works when getting a blank page using a custom Template.

See if you have this file:
includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php

If you do, rename to something like: tpl_main_page.php.old

That will force the default file to be used. Refresh your Browser on the problem page and see what happens. If you now see the page then rename the file back to what it was a refresh your Browser again.

When I last tested your site, it would let me get to the shipping page.
Then when I selected a shipping method and clicked Continue, which would normally go to the payment page, it croaked.

This suggests that something's amuck with the code on the checkout_shipping or checkout_payment page files, or with one of the active payment or order total modules.
Which payment modules do you have enabled?
What happens if you start disabling them one-by-one and trying to get past the shipping page after each one?
