Are you still having the same problem?

I have same problem with Moneybookers. I dont know how to figure out it.

I have solved it for paypal. It's just a matter of configuring properly a2billing.conf.

I have zero experience about moneybooker though.

nirfar, if you can post your configuration file, it may help.

Don't forget to use fake host name and fake passwords before posting it here.

I am having the same problem with PayPal.

Please help

I'm with Asiby on this one.
On v1.3 Paypal is working flawlessly.

I concur.

If you think that your a2billing is properly configured, then please try to open the port 445 on your firewall. It's for paypal https. I have noticed that it is opened on my firewall and maybe that's what did the trick for me. Do you have that port activated Stavros?

You also might want to make sure that your are not using the paypal sandbox which is meant for testing only.



Note that I haven't set the payment_notify_url parameter.

skarim, can you please show us the [epayment_method] section of your a2billing.conf? For secutiry reason, you can replace your domain name with xxxxxx


Thanks

I am using V 1.2.3

I do not have [epayment_method] in a2billing.conf

May be you are working on v 1.3

Well then, upgrade.

There are so many things that have been fixed in v1.3

I know that if must be hard to understand, but when it comes to software, unless you have a very good reason, you have to stay up to date. The programming approach in many parts of a2billing is totally different from v1.2.3 to v1.3 and the changes cannot even be adapted to the previous version. I strongly suggest that you update. You will see that many of your problems will simply fade away.

Regards

Do you know any particular post related to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3?

I do not want to loose my data on MySQL

Nop. Unfortunately.

I just did it with success. But it was quite a long process and I didn't document it cause I new what I was doing. Here are some guide lines.

Make sure that you have php5 and MySQL5 (php.net and mysql.com both recommend upgrading to these versions. So does the a2billing team). Make sure that php have a nice set of extensions included. Here are the extension that I always activate in php (no matter what):



pcntl and mysql or mysqli and required for a2billing to work. But if you are working with PgSQL, than add the required extension.

Keep in mind that there are many new tables in a2billing v1.3 and for the table that are common, some of them have additional fields in v1.3 that are missing in v1.2.3 but all the fields of v1.2.3 have kept their original name in v1.3

So here is what I suggest. Install phpmyadmin or something that let you manage your db easily. Export the data (not the structure) from v1.2.3 and import in the same table in v1.3

Configure the callback-daemon if you need it

Verify the location of the log files

Make sure that you have a log rotation daemon available and configured (you will thank me for that)

Configure the cront job

etc.

Let us know about the transition.

look at the forum , and in the folder where is the .sql files located you will find the file for the upgrade withiut loosing data

Hi.

I am using v1.3 upgraded from v1.2.3 and I am also encountering same problem with Paypal (the only payment method currently set) not being able to update customer's account.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Hi again.

My problem with Paypal to update customer's account was fixed.

Fix: a2billing.conf
dir_ws_http = "/var/www/html"

Hope this information helps.

Thank you very much.

I usually do a CVS checkout. One other possible cause maybe that the download link for a2billing 1.3 does not reflect the latest changes approved on the CVS. Try doing a CVS checkout and compare the folders.

Hi Voipnoy,
Do you mind posting your a2billing.conf and any other settings you applied in your system in order to get PAYPAL working?
Many thanks
