Resolved I have an error when trying to purchase

[vlasta]

I bought this add-on and then realised I need to install core files. Downloaded core 2.4.0 and when I try and install core then setup a dummy item to try and buy. I get this error:

Hi,

Did you follow this:

XF1 - XF2 - RM MarketPlace & Forum Sales

Paypal API credentials retrieval Two possibilities, either you have a Business account or a Standard account. Business Account If you have a business paypal account, connect to your paypal account and go to the tools page: On the new opening page, select the API credentials: Then click on...

Aha - did not know I needed to do this. However, the PayPal pages I see are not the same as in your instructions. I do have a business account and for the API/Credentials page I see this screen below (I redacted parts of it) Which API do I need to create ? - Do I create a new "App".

Hi @Clement - OK I made new credentials and have successfully uploaded these to the server. Now I get the message as follows



These are brand new PayPal credentials. How can I debug this? There is nothing in server logs.

Some more information. There is nothing logged in the Paypal developer dashboard which would suggest that the comms with PayPal is not being initiated.

There are no entries in access.log or error.log (I am running Apache2 on Ubuntu 24.04)

I tried this with sand box and production - same error.

If you can let me know how to retrieve logs then I will do so, or I can give you private server access. Let me know.

I searched all the forum posts I can with this error and yes, I am using a different PP ID for selling and config. I am asking for 0% on all transactions and I am using USD only. I noted that there is a setting in the config file to enable logging and I tried this but seemingly no log was generated. I set the log path to /var/log/pp.log

I hope this helps narrow this down.

OK more info. I now get this error. Like it cannot write the logfile.

I tried changing permissions on the directory src/addons/XFA/Core/vendor/AngellEye/paypal-php-library/src/angelleye/PayPal and even this did not cure the error. So I cannot get logs ....

 

[vlasta]

Resolved - a silly error on my side. Apologies for the "noise".

No worries, sorry haven't been too much on last week.
