Help, my PayPal express isn't working! on GoDaddy

I followed the steps correctly when setting up PayPal express. However, when I click on the PayPal button from a product in my store, nothing happens. I doubled checked everything and I can't figure this one out. The regular PayPal IPN works fine. Any help would be apppreciated. I am using the latest build 1.3.7 of zen cart.

Please help I am a noobie!

please install the latest patch update to the PayPal infrastructure for v1.3.7 ... the most recent post in this thread contains the patch:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56216

I don't understand how to install the patch. Thanks in advance!

The patch is layout in the same format as your site ...

You can just FTP the files from:
/includes

in the patch to your site's
/includes

and it will update and overwrite the files ...

Then you can go to the Modules ... Payments and Remove and Install again ...

NOTE: be sure to write down your settings before Removing the modules so you can reset your settings ...

I downloaded the paypal patch and followed the instructions for the install. However I am still having the same issues. My paypal express button doesn't work. The regular checkout button works though. I am ready to scream any minute. I don't understand why this isn't working. Perhaps someone can browse over to where my test site is and check out http://www.scripturescapes.com/zencart Any additional suggestions is appreciated.

You're hosted on GoDaddy. Thus, you'll need to turn on CURL Proxy in Admin->Configuration->My Store -- turn it on, and set the address as described in help text.

I am hosted with GoDaddy and I have the CURL set up as well.

Please turn on Debug Logging to File and post a copy of the log files generated.

Can you download the batch of files in that folder, zip them, and then upload the zip for download? The one single file is unfortunately only one of a group of many comprising a single order.

I'm sorry - I do not understand what you're saying.

I'm also having the same issue.

I have an account on GoDaddy. Paypal IPN works fine if the user creates an account and goes through the whole long normal paypal process.

But, with Paypal Express, pressing the Express Checkout button simply hangs and appears to do nothing.

Reading through this post and a similar previous post, I upgraded for the paypal patch, removed and reinstalled the Paypal Express, and turned on the cURL proxy. No effect.

Any ideas? I'm certain I've followed the installation directions well, this seems perhaps to be a GoDaddy issue, unless another GoDaddy customer can say otherwise?

See this article for setting up CURL support on GoDaddy:

The CURL is not the issue here, as I am having the same problem. I just wished someone knew what was going on and how to fix it.

1. Did you download and install the PayPal patch as suggested earlier?
2. Have you run some more test transactions?
3. Will you please confirm what the CURL Proxy "address" is set to in your Admin ? (if you're on GoDaddy hosting, this must be set to GoDaddy's proxy server address)
4. Can you post another link to new log files, preferably a zip with all the logs from the last couple days?

It seems that GoDaddy may be having some communication issues lately. Not sure if this is related or not. .. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61096

Thank you DrByte, that solved my issue. I feel a little stupid now having not read that one sub-line talking about the godaddy curl ip. Mine appears to work now. Thanks again!

fsartist,
i'm using godaddy as well but i'm not understadning how you got paypal express to work with the curl issue.

When you installed the new paypal update, did you "Remove" your old paypal express module and then re"Install" it? If you've done that already, then not sure.
