Paypal has stopped working?

Hello,
I have changed to paypal express but when I process payments in my site, I get this...
An error occurred when we tried to contact the payment processor. Please try again, select an alternate payment method, or contact the store owner for assistance. () - (7) couldn't connect to host

I have also run ipncheck.php which says...

Re: Paypal has stopped working?

Where is your site hosted?

At first glance, the server has not been configured to enable cURL functions. (Though it may also be due to a malconfiguration on your part).

If your host is incapable of/not willing to configuring the server to accommodate eCommerce, then find a host that knows what is necessary to make eCommerce function properly.

Re: Paypal has stopped working?

When I set it up in paypal for the ipn, I have made a new main email. I go to API access, view api signiture but it still tries to incorporate my old email address into it. Is that an issue?

Also I then input all this info into my zencart.

I then go to grant api permission, but am unsire what to put in here. I keep getting error message... Please enter valid API username.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks
A

Re: Paypal has stopped working?

Your PRIMARY email at paypal must also be your PRIMARY email at zencart.

Re: Paypal has stopped working?

Is there a way to change my zencart primary email because when I try to use my zencart one, it does not send the email to accept it.

Re: Paypal has stopped working?

:wacko:

Please try to follow what is being said.

At PayPal, you have set up a PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS.

In your PayPal Payment module on zencart, you have an input field for the SAME PRIMARY ADDRESS you have set up at PayPal.
