no registration email sent

[jg]

when testing, no registration link email is sent.

i thought the code below might be the problem?

notify_url=http://www.tradevesting.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/ipn/eMember_handle_paypal_ipn.php

custom=subsc_ref=3

also tried to test with debug but nothing was in the file.

Please have a look at the following post (from step-4) which will explain –

after enabling ipn in paypal, the debug file looks like this:

ipn_handle_debug_eMember.log

ASCII C++ program text

[01/29/2011 4:01 AM] – SUCCESS :Paypal Class Initiated by 117.18.229.13

[01/29/2011 4:01 AM] – SUCCESS :Post string :

[01/29/2011 4:01 AM] – SUCCESS :Connection to http://www.paypal.com successfuly completed.

[01/29/2011 4:01 AM] – FAILURE :IPN validation failed.

[01/29/2011 4:01 AM] – SUCCESS :Paypal class finished.

do you know what to do about that failure?

thanks.

The IPN is not hitting your server. What URL did you specify for the IPN to go to?

Do you have a plugin or firewall that can block the IPN sent from PayPal? A plugin called “Bad Behavior” is known to do this (there might be other similar plugins).

specified URL:

notify_url=http://tradevesting.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-

eMember/ipn/eMember_handle_paypal_ipn.php

custom=subsc_ref=3

i have 2 plug-ins:

1.exclude pages from navigation

2.wp emember

not sure about the firewall.

thanks for your patience with my non-technical abilities.

Found the issue The notify URL is wrong. Its going to a 404.

One good way to find out if a URL is valid or not is to enter it in the browser and make sure it doesn’t give a “Page Not Found” 404 error.

You have instructed PayPal to send the payment notification (IPN) to the following URL which PayPal is doing but its going to an invalid location:

http://www.tradevesting.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/ipn/eMember_handle_paypal_ipn.php

The correct URL would be the following:

http://www.tradevesting.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/ipn/eMember_handle_paypal_ipn.php

When you use the above URL then the payment notification will reach eMember and the plugin will be able to work. Let me know how you go.

Excellent! Thank you.

Enabling IPN in Paypal and taking ‘public_html’ out of the URL works! Customer now receives link e-mail.
