    Hello,

    Everything seems to work fine with the paypal transaction and everything. I receive the confirmation email with the link, i also have the link on the thank you page BUT:

    When i click the link I have only either a blank page or a “error: unable to connect to socket: Connection refused (111)”

    It is surely a hosting issue but i was wondering if maybe the mask was causing them to refuse the connection? Anything to change in the settings?

    Thanks for the help.

    This issue would be related to this other issue that you were having:

    Are you still using that “Free Hosting”?

    Hello, No that’s the thing. I upgraded, transferred to cPanel and now i don’t have the “http error” anymore. I can see the link on the email and thank you page but it doesn’t go anywhere :/

    Hi,

    I have also just installed eStore for Pay per view product sales and similarly everything seems to work fine up to the point where the customer clicks on the encrypted link when they get the same connection refused (111) error.

    I have been in contact with my service provider and this is their response:

    “The script is trying to perform a loopback connection. A connection to the server from its self. This is blocked at our Firewall to protect the server from attacking its self internally. You should contact the script author who should be able to provide you details on how to resolve this by loading the file and running the script locally without requiring a loopback connection.”

    Please can someone advise me whether this is infact correct and how I can go about fixing this!

    Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

    This happen only on your “Thank You” page or the links that gets sent via email too?
