Blank page using PayPal

I've entered my PayPal API info, my site address on PayPal's site, set up the "CURL proxy” from here, installed the patches and followed everything from every thread I could find here and am still getting a black page after step 3 in the checkout.

My URL: http://www.everythingembellished.com

I've run the ipncheck: file
I've run the CURL test: file

I'm sure I am missing something stupid. Any ideas?? :cry:

Thanks.

Re: Blank page using PayPal

Which PayPal module are you using?
What are your logs saying?

Re: Blank page using PayPal

Thanks for responding DrByte.

I am using the PayPal Express Checkout module.

My logs aren't updating from the other day when I posted this. but the last one said:

I hope that helps. :frusty:

One thing I just noticed is that it has my personal email and phone number instead of the businesses and I can't find where it is getting it. It is this info:

Re: Blank page using PayPal

Attempting to contact the PayPal site using the simple curltest script is failing intermittently, mostly with long connect times or even timeouts:
http://everythingembellished.com/curltest.php?url=https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp&proxy=1&proxyaddress=proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128

In fact, attempting to use any SSL destination is failing.

It seems your server may be running too slow to handle the external communications.

You won't likely like this statement ... but ... do yourself a favor ... dump GoDaddy hosting and get a reliable host. GoDaddy is fine for buying domain names, but their hosting is ... frankly ... well not their strength. They're not tuned for ecommerce as a general rule.

Re: Blank page using PayPal

Thanks again DrByte.

I was actually considering moving my server that I host all of my sites, but didn't want to change anything while trying to fix this.

Do you think that is the problem?

I would ask how I move the database but I'm sure it's in the forum somewhere. :wacko:

Do you think that is the problem?You can only get better. Just stay away from Network Solutions, Fasthosts, and 1and1. I recommend one of the hosts from the "hosting" link at the top of this page, as they know Zen Cart. But, do your own research as you make your own choice.

Re: Blank page using PayPal

Well, now I've gotten the PayPal IPN module working and works perfectly. I turned off the PayPal express module for now. This just doesn't make sense to me. :wacko:

Thanks for all of your help so far. :)
