Paypal IPN works but still shows INCOMPLETE

I’m at my wits end on this.

I’m using the paypal sandox with debugging enabled.  The test merchant account has IPN enabled and pointing to the /transactions page on my site.  I even check the log file under /uploads/espresso/logs and I can see the IPN hits coming in with no errors.

BUT … the payment status still shows incomplete.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Checked “Remote Posting/IPN” in System Status and it has this:

“Your server has fsockopen enabled, cURL is disabled.”

Does cURL have to be enabled?  If so, how do I do this?  Tried adding the following to my php.ini (and restarted php-fpm) but it still shows disabled …

“extension=php_curl.so”

Finally got cURL enabled … BUT it still doesn’t work.  After payment is made the status remains “Incomplete”

Enabled paypal.ipn_results.log … and I’m seeing this exception:

“Errors resulting from the execution of curl transfer: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate[05/29/2013 10:54 PM] – FAIL: IPN Validation Failed . /cgi-bin/webscr : http://www.sandbox.paypal.com

Now I just need to know how to resolve it 🙂  Any ideas?

Hi Wayde,

The last error you’re seeing there is likely from a CA cert bundle not being installed on the server, or there’s a permissions issue so it can’t be read. Your host may be able to get that up and running. If not, you can download a cacert.pem file from here:

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

then upload it to your server. Then in the php.ini file you can point to the location of the pem file like this:

curl.cainfo = /path/to/your/cacert.pem
