WP eStore Pay Per View server Error

[danmanstan]

I am having a problem with eStore and the Pay-Per-View Videos after a payment has been processed. The Thank You page shows the link to the Pay-Per-View Video after being redirected by Paypal. When I click on the link it gives me the following Error Message from Internet Explorer:

Oops! This page appears broken. DNS Error – Server cannot be found.

Here is what the original link looked like: http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/download.php?file=NWcmiv2B8Ygzscwt

Please advise as to what the problem might be.

Now a second question is do I have to have a player plugin enabled to play the video?

Hi, The following error “DNS Error – Server cannot be found” usually happens when your hosting is having issue or maybe down. The following forum post from Google will explain more about this:

Hello again,

I read in another forum about changing the Automatic URL Conversion Preference and the Download Method and the link on my Thank You page worked to download the Video.

When I switched the Product to Pay-Per-View and processed the payment. I got the above server error again. Please advise as to what might be the problem here.

If you get a “DNS Error – Server cannot be found” then only your hosting provider can help you. If on the other hand you get a “404 – Page Not found” error then that means something is wrong with the URL. Are you still getting a DNS error?

I’m getting the following error: HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error).

If it is an internal server error do you have any advise or suggestions on what settings could be impacting it?

I explored my server error log and I couldn’t find any record of why the masked webpage would not load. So I am back to where I was, trying to figure out why the PPV will not load. Was I supposed to embed the video into a webpage or does the plugin do this?

[amin007]

Yeah you need to embed the videos (that you are selling) on a page then use the URL of that page in the eStore’s “Digital Content URL” field. eStore will just keep the true link of the page hidden. This page has a video that shows you how to set up pay per view option:

Hey thanks for the advise. I got it done after being hacked! : )

I am now having a similar issue as Vitaly in this post:

https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/pay-per-view-feature-security/page/2

Basically my embeded video page URL is still visible and public. I’ve randomized the URL and took care of robots.

Did you guys ever come up with a custom code for this issue or another work around?

Thanks again.

Assurer (one of the moderators here) added a better “Pay Per View” feature option to eStore. This might work better for your situation:
