paypal express wont load- just a blank page

when i activate paypal express and then click pay with paypal express on the "log in" page
it goes to https://www.prservicesyorkshire.com/ipn_main_handler.php?type=ec

however, this page, does not load...i just get a white page...
no idea why

the emails i get are as follows...

IPN FATAL ERROR :: No POST data available -- Most likely initiated by browser and not PayPal.


     *** The rest of this log report can most likely be ignored !! ***

IPN FATAL ERROR :: Could not find stored session in DB, cannot re-create session as PayPal IPN transaction.

IPN FATAL ERROR :: No saved IPN session data available. Must be an Express Checkout or Direct Pay transaction.

What do the logs say when you click the Express Checkout button?

where would these logs be found?

think i found a log

In v1.3.x, PayPal logs are always located in /includes/modules/payment/paypal/logs/

I have the same issue.

It just appeared out of nowhere.

My cart shows three choices for checkout, Amazon, Google and Paypal. Amazon and Google work just fine but Paypal points to the same page /ipn_main_handler.php?type=ec except at midwestnotebooks.com

Any help on solving this would be appreciated as my logs do not show anything funny or point to a fatal error.

My posts keep disappearing, seems to last about 20 minutes before they disappear.

If you keep posting in multiple threads - your duplicate posts WILL be deleted.

The other thread which you started 6 hours earlier, on the same topic, has been replied to.

I have the same problem, tried everything i can think of and just returns a blank page. Does anyone know a solution to this problem???

well i havent found a solution to the problem but have set up paypal - website payments standard and it seems to be working fine, at least i can still accept customers with or without a paypal account but would prefer express so if anyone can shed some light would appreciate it. thanks

What's in your log files?

got same problem on several installs of ZC now....

even on a fresh install on different host :S

OOOPSS
never mind DB

found the problem

paypal_curl.php was empty lol...

I'm also having the same problem.

White screen everytime i click on paypal check out

What happened when you followed the suggestions already discussed in this thread?

actually I was able to fix the problem this morning... cURL was turned on in my admin. My host is godaddy and apparantly they no longer need this to be turned on.

Thanks for your reply
