I used virtuemart on a lot of webstores that i made, but now i wanted to try hikashop for the first time on a new webstore i am doing, to see if it is worth buying the business edition. Everything was going ok until i got to the paypal module. I am using the Paypal sandbox to test the hikashop paypal module. Everything is working great but after paying on the paypal gateway the order don't update to confirmed status and i receive the following emails from hikashop: From the documentation and the orther posts on the forum with similar issues i contacted the hosting company to see if Openssl was compiled and that they allowed the use of the fsockopen funcion on PHP. They said that openssl was installed and the use of fsock function to make remote connection was allowed. To test if they said was true, i created the following PHP script to test the fsockopen funcion: After running this code from the server i ger the GOOD output meaning that the fsockopen function is working great. Inspecting the hikashop paypal module source code i don't understand why the following piece of code is returning always a null value: I activated the hikashop paypal module debug but the log is empty, so i checked the apache access log and i saw the following entries: 173.0.82.126 - - [15/Dec/2014:21:21:11 +0000] "POST /shop/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout&task=notify&notif_payment=paypal&tmpl=component&lang=en&Itemid=990 HTTP/1.0" 404 - "-" "PayPal IPN ( www.paypal.com/ipn )" But i am in doubt that the 404 access code is related to the above problem, because i removed the order from the hikashop after it failed with paypal. Also on the paypal sandbox i can see that the payment was transferred from the buyer to the shop account successfully. Any help would be appreciated.
