LinkPoint Set Up.. What steps are required?

[JackieNicole]

customers are getting curl error when trying to check out.. so I'm assuming LinkPoint isn't set-up completely on my part... i entered my store number from the admin panel and set it to live... i believe it has something to do with the .pem file... i already have the file.. i just dont know where to put it

actually, since someone else brought it up... I am trying to get the linkpoint mod to work, I have followed all of the instructions in the installation guide to the letter and it still doesn't seem to work.

Is there anyone available that might be able to help me?

You have to have curl+ssl compiled into php or the mod will not work. Check your phpinfo and look for the Curl section, if it shows libcurl with ssl or something to that effect, you are good and you made a mistake somewhere along the way. If not, php needs to be recompiled on the server.

I have verified that CURL is there using the "Server Info" section on the Admin Panel. It's listed with OpenSSL and the version numbers for both are higher than the ones mentioned in the installation guide.

CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.15.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7l zlib/1.2.3

The instructions say that I'm supposed to get a "Declined" error when I test out the module, but all I get is an error without a description.

I am using the correct test card number and CVV code (though I had to edit some code to get it to ue the CVV number) and I have the module set to live with the correct store number.

I also have my PEM file in the correct place.

I have checked and double checked that I have done everything in the instructions, and I don't know enough about how a payment module is supposed to work to debug it.

The only thing I can think of is that I am using YourPay and not linkpoint directly, so I'm not sure if I need to change the linkpoint server or some other parameter to work with YourPay

This module only works directly with linkpoint. It has not been tested with Yourpay.

Here is one that has:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

I've installed the Linkpoint API module as per it's instructions, but I'm getting a few errors like:

Warning: Missing argument 4 for validate() in /data/9/1/26/154/1352643/user/1450342/htdocs/sgnj/catalog/includes/classes/cc_validation.php on line 17

Warning: Missing argument 5 for validate() in /data/9/1/26/154/1352643/user/1450342/htdocs/sgnj/catalog/includes/classes/cc_validation.php on line 17

I assume that these are due to differences between how osCommerce and osCMax handle credit card validation, paritcularly with the CVV number. Do you have any advice on how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Heath

OK, so I have verified that my problem is not strcitly osC related. Following a suggestion from another thread I downloaded the API files right from YourPay. Using their demo files I am not able to get it to work, this leads me to believe that either I do not have my Linkpoint account setup right, or my web host is preventing me from connecting to it somehow.

I don't really know where to go from here though on how to troubleshoot this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Some hosts have custom curl ports and other requirements. Contact your host regarding this.

I'm not too familiar with cURL. How does that relate to Linkpoint in the sense of port numbers? Linkpoint says it requires port number 1129.. should that change depending on what my host says about cURL?
