Instant Paypal Quit

[Mushroom]

The oddest thing, it appears my PayPal ( NOT IPN ) just quit. I can fill out an order, and it passes it to PayPal. The order never registers. The cart doesn't clear. That's how I discovered it quit. I honestly didn't change a thing.
I just tried to send an order myself and , although it wouldn't let me pay myself, in the past that would have generated the order and off we go.
Just not now.

The standard paypal module does not generate an order in osCMax or osCommerce until you complete the transaction at paypal and click the 'return' button to bring you back to your site.

That is the whole reason that the paypal IPN module was created. I suggest you switch to the IPN module.

Makes sense. I converted over to IPN, since I can't send to myself, we shall see what happens.

Use the paypal sandbox to test... Check in your paypal account under the developers section for details.

I fooled with it, it processed just fine , but it threw me to a white scree trying to return me to orders_process . I mess with that later.

Well, with IPN we get paid. The customer and I do NOT get emails. It shows processing about 3 times in the order. A bit frustrating. There was no answer to this in the Paypal sticky.

What is your error message? A blank screen means you are getting a php error. Look in your error logs.

Error log is empty. In configuring Paypal, where exactly are they supposed to send me back ? Perhaps I have the paypal side misconfigured.

[michael_s]

If you are getting a blank screen, there has to be an error. Perhaps in a different log or turn up your logging to debug level.

Another option is to have php print errors to the screen.

You don't configure paypal to send you back. osCMax tells paypal what the return url is when sending the transaction info to them. So, disable any auto-return url you may have set, as it is not needed.

Nope, goes from Paypal. hit the complete order confirm and white screen at https://www.website.com/catalog/checkout_process.php

No options on setting level of error logs. I have a request in to my host to see if there is anything available.
