Paypal IPN not working properly after installation on GoDaddy

[Timbo53]

So now it gets more interesting. I send Tech support at Ipage an e-mail for the cURL proxy server address and they respond that they don't have a proxy server. If anyone is currently hosting on Ipage and using Paypal can you tell me if you have the proxy address?

Thanks!!

Can anyone recommend a reasonably price host that has been a solid performer and e-commerce friendly??

Thanks

Sorry to keep doing this but I am not as technical as I would like to be. I got the following information from Ipage with respect to Curl. It basically says what is supported by PHP.

cURL support enabled
cURL Information libcurl/7.18.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.8 libssh2/0.18

Does this mean I would have to write some type of script in order for cUrl to work? If so I think I'm done because I don't have a clue how to do that.

OK so I ran the curl test and it came back and said that data valadation was good and when I did it and specified paypal it said communication test OK. Here is the URL if anyone wants to see all the results.
http://store.practicalarms.com/extras/curltester.php

and then I ran it a second time with ?paypal=1

I have also attached 2 log file that I had already captured but was unsure of the results. I converted them to word doc files as they were easier to read that way.

Now this is at godaddy, running under windows, where I was told they don't have curl support unless your running linux.

Yes, it appears that those tests are returning good results.

Those logs show that your server is having troubles connecting via CURL. Maybe you've got proxy settings turned on when they shouldn't be?

No surprise. Just further proof that their staff don't know what they're doing.

So the only place I know of for setting for cURL are in the Store setup and with the PDT token. Are their any other places where these setting may be located?

[DrByte]

No. The only place you need to set anything in your store as far as CURL goes is in Admin->Configuration->My Store->CURL Proxy Status. AND IT SHOULD BE SET TO OFF.

See the Recommended Hosts link at the top of this page.

A CURL Proxy should NOT be needed.

Only GoDaddy ever needed that, and it was *stupid* that they did.
They used to require it for many years, and finally removed it this year.
You need to turn that setting OFF.
