This isn't working for me either. I've run the test form on my ipn.cfm page to make sure my script is working right. I fixed all the errors in my script and then tried to run it live on PP. My return works and the payment goes through, but my ipn script isn't being run. Nothing goes into my database and the confirmation emails I set up don't get sent. Is there something else I should be doing?

Please help!

Thank you for the suggestion. My IPN page is being hit. However, now when I verify that the payment is valid I don't get "VERIFIED" or "INVALID". I get a page that says "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks ..."

I made sure I was sending all the variables in a "Post". Is there something else I should be doing?

Why am I getting this page?

Thanks.

I tried it, but now I'm getting the standard PayPal login page.

I have tried everything in these friggen forums and nothing works. why doesnt paypal have an exact script (IPN.CFM) file and all the users need to do is add in their info. man paypal would be cool if they offered a little more help to the businesses.


Can anyone please let me copy their IPN script for subscription that actually works. Please help nothing is working. i get eliteweaver to show that i am posting incorrect script but that is it.

this link doesnt work http://jshop.homeip.net/buy_paypal_ipn.cfm

I have tried everything too with the exact same problems listed in this forum. I know my code is correct according to the paypal documentation. I am not receiving the data from paypal to my ipn.cfm template. I am not receiving any error messages on the server either. I am puzzled. The code is simple. Has anyone got this working? If so I would love to see the code.

If it works OK off of the "return" URL, it should work OK with the "notify_url".

That's good to hear.

What seemed to be the stumbling block?
