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

yes, that is what i did. i may just switch to someone besides godaddy that others are having good luck with paypal express. i don't know what else to do a this point.

It might be worth checking with GoDaddy to see whether their "Free Hosting" allows CURL access or not. Might also ask them if CURL uses the same proxy server as non-free hosting. And get them to confirm that the proxy server address you're using is correct.

I have been in contact with godaddy support and they told me it makes no difference for paid or free hosting in regards to the CURL setting.
Also here is the CURL info they gave me that should work:

"How would a user use CURL to connect via HTTPS?
Go Daddy's HTTPs Proxy requires special options to be placed within any CURL session before it can be used with the HTTPS protocol. The following options will need to be entered into the CURL Session...

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'http://64.202.165.131:3128');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

Current Proxy IP's as of 2/14/07
64.202.165.131
64.202.165.132
64.202.165.133
64.202.165.201"

However, I can not get it to work with any of these ips, but perhaps others will with a different host. I am really thinking the only thing it could be is a godaddy communication problem with the paypal express.

Try this temporary test:

1. Create a new file, called /includes/extra_configures/proxy_tunnel.php
2. Place the following in it:```

DrByte,
i appreciate the help that you have given.
but i got so tired of the godaddy, curl, paypal express frustration that i switched host. i am now with host gator with no problem with this issue. it worked like a charm and with no curl needed.

here is my recommedation for anyone with godaddy experiencing issues with paypal express:
think about swtiching to another host.
advertisement for hosting removed

Note: For those that invested a lot of time setting up zen cart, may rather transfer their site using a host than can do that.

i don't understand why my part of my post was removed and labeled as an"advertisement". that's ridiculous! i was just trying to help others having the issue. i think that i would want to know if someone found a host that didn't expereince this issue. perhaps i just won't post anything at all next time.

There are sites for discussions on hosting services ... or people can PM you for your experience ...

We prefer not promoting sites here on the forum ...

If they wish to become a Zen Cart Certified host then they are more than welcome to contact the Zen Cart Team ... thanks!

Glad to hear that you are working happily once more ... :cool:

I'm having the same problem as the previous poster, but don't have the luxury of being able to switch hosts. Has anyone figured out what the problem might be?

I've:

• installed the paypal patch
• uninstalled and reinstalled the PayPal Express module
• Set the cURL proxy to 64.202.165.130:3128Anybody have any ideas?

Some have found success by using the named proxy instead of the numbered IP address:

Wonderful DrByte!
I had the same exact probs as everyone else here and I put the named proxy instead of the numbered one and it worked. So before yall switch hosting try DrByte's solution.

I also had success when I changed from the numbered to the named proxy.
