PayPal IPN url

Here is the print screen: print screen

I’ve contacted the web hosting support and here is what they say:

“I’ve checked into the PHP error log for the dev environment, and can see these warnings:
[07-Jul-2015 23:50:38 UTC] PHP Warning: include_once(./dgx-donate.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/bindings/aa850a639fce4b60979ad0b6e9744f1c/code/wp-content/plugins/seamless-donations/dgx-donate-paypalstd-ipn.php on line 16
[07-Jul-2015 23:50:38 UTC] PHP Warning: include_once(): Failed opening ‘./dgx-donate.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php’) in /srv/bindings/aa850a639fce4b60979ad0b6e9744f1c/code/wp-content/plugins/seamless-donations/dgx-donate-paypalstd-ipn.php on line 16
Looking further at /code/wp-content/plugins/seamless-donations/dgx-donate-paypalstd-ipn.php on line 16 I see this code:
// Load Seamless Donations Core
include_once “./dgx-donate.php”;

However, this dgx-donate.php script doesn’t exist in the directory:
/code/wp-content/plugins/seamless-donations](master)$ ls -a
. css images languages seamless-donations-admin.php
.. dgx-donate-paypalstd-ipn.php inc legacy seamless-donations-form.php
admin dgx-donate-paypalstd.php index.htm library seamless-donations.php
cpt html js readme.txt

I would start with investigating these errors, to see if replacing the script solves your PayPal IPN issue.
We’re definitely not blocking PayPal with any security modules, and I haven’t found any other users having issues with this plugin in our records. The only other issue we’ve seen with IPN is the use of session_start(), which is not supported but can be simulated with the use of the Pantheon wp-native-php-sessions plugin, and I can see you already have that installed and enabled.
Let us know if you continue having problems with getting this plugin working on the platform, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

That won’t work. The IPN requires a site accessible to the Internet and it looks like you’re running localhost. The server at PayPal will attempt to access https://localhost and fail.

My development system is also on a local domain and when I need to test IPN performance, I transfer the entire source to a host on the Internet and test from there.

As for why it’s looking in the admin folder, I don’t know. That’s definitely odd. I’m guessing it’s an artifact of the localhost, but I’m also noticing what looks like errors loading the pear library, which I believe WordPress uses.

Sorry David,

This is the wrong screen shot. I was testing in my local environment and then I moved to my actual website.

The IPN URL shown on the admin screen is a bug, fixed in upcoming 4.0.4. Fortunately, the IPN URL actually used by the system is correct. The other errors may also have been fixed in 4.0.4.
