Another "This transaction is invalid." thread

Ok so I am trying to work with the Paypal Express checkout module. I have installed it along with the patch. But am getting the message "This transaction is invalid. Please return to the recipient's website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow." when clicking on the paypal link in the cart

Cart 1.3.7 with paypal patch
site - https://www.saltycritter.com/store

Server info from zen
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.15.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.1.2

Installed the curltest to check that
http://saltycritter.com/curltest.php
not sure if this is the proper SSL link for test?... if so I assume that is the problem.....maybe?
http://saltycritter.com/curltest.php?ssl=1
If so that doesnt seem to work

the ipncheck.php I uploaded gets an error too
http://saltycritter.com/ipncheck.php

I turned logging on as well and here is what I got
https://www.saltycritter.com/paypal-log.log

thanks as always for any help

I found the link about godaddy and some sites needing a proxy for curl so was sending a email to a friend of mine that works at the host to see if I needed that maybe?

Well, the GoDaddy proxy doesn't seem to work any better.

It seems all attempts to do outbound communications over SSL via CURL and fsockopen are failing ... with or without proxy.

I would need a proxy though from my host to make it maybe work if that was the problem, correct?

Possibly, yes. Although it's rare.

You should ask your host why you cannot use CURL or PHP's fsockopen to reach SSL addresses.

Re: Another "This transaction is invalid." thread

Same problem here

Here are the results of the ipncheck.php

IPNCHECK.PHP - Version 1.0

IPN TESTING - POSTING to PayPal via: ssl://www.paypal.com:443


Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to www.paypal.com:443 in /home/content/l/a/d/ladyren/html/store/ipncheck.php on line 81
IPN FATAL ERROR :: Could not establish fsockopen.

Trying again without SSL ...
