PayPal Pro Failing!

Hi Guys,

I’m still having a problem taking payments with 2member. I’m on a Windows server with a SSL license, I have disabled Curl and enabled fopen.

The ipn log tells me there is an issue with curl and fopen still:

2 => ‘s2Member uses the `WP_Http` class for remote connections; which will try to use `cURL` first, and then fall back on the `FOPEN` method when `cURL` is not available. On a Windows® server, you may have to disable your `cURL` extension; and instead, set `allow_url_fopen = yes` in your php.ini file. The `cURL` extension (usually) does NOT support SSL connections on a Windows® server.’,

4 => ‘array (

)’,
),
)

however I fixed that in php.ini, I even had my hosting company check the settings.

I also enabled Openssl and created a php file to test which produced this error before and after enabling openssl:

Notice: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Unable to find the wrapper “https” – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in C:\inetpub\vhosts\watchuktvabroad.com\httpdocs\paypal.php on line 4

Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.paypal.com/) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\inetpub\vhosts\watchuktvabroad.com\httpdocs\paypal.php on line 4

the paypal-api.log displays this:

this is the same on every transaction we submit!

Hi Chris,

It sounds like the key problem here is the following:

Notice: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Unable to find the wrapper “https” – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in C:\inetpub\vhosts\watchuktvabroad.com\httpdocs\paypal.php on line 4

If s2Member is unable to open HTTPS URLs, it won’t be able to make secure connections. I recommend talking to your host and asking them to resolve the issue with file_get_contents() being unable to load https URLs. It sounds like the wrapper must be missing (or is not being loaded). You might want to run a test like this on your server to see if the openssl wrapper is being loaded.
