Hi all,

Finally I am starting with my symbiostock website. Until now everything is going well and the only thing left to get to run before mass uploading is the payment - and here is where the problem lies:

1. A friend is paying for a image. Paypal works perfectly...the money is coming through as well as the emails. But after returning to the site no image appears in the customer area to be downloaded.
Off course I read a bit here and on other sites and sometimes the problem seems to be associated with plugins like bad-behaviour, but I have none of those installed.
The only thing I get is: Items still in your cart, and not in your download area?
Wait a few seconds and refresh the page. Sometimes paypal takes a few minutes to notify us. If you still have problems, please contact us."

Anyone could help me out with this?

Thanks....

The person in this thread is having the same issue:

But i dont see that it ever got resolved. Hopefully someone who knows the answer
will help and maybe publish publicly so everyone can see how to fix.
You might try pm-ing leo...maybe he can help.

Thank you Cathy...I hope there is some solution to that...lets see if Leo has some Idea....

Sounds like maybe your SYS installation is blocking PayPal's IPN server.  You can check in your PayPal account if it successfully passed the info to your site.  If it hasn't it will show that it's continuing to try which is a sign that something in your SYS site (likely a plug-in) is blocking the PayPal server.

If your PayPal and SYS IPN setup is OK, etc.  I'd then Deactivate all active plug-ins except the Symbiostock email and notification plug-in and see if that helps.

Some of us did not manage to get the sandbox set up at all and went straight to live 

Did your "buyer" get an email with an acknowledgement of the sale, a thumbnail of the picture they bought and a download link - you should also have had a copy of this?

RESOLVED!

Stupid me!  I got a new server for the symbiostock site and haven`t had installed curl and some other php modules yet. The Apache log illuminated my obscure mind and three ssh lines later paypal got through and the images available to download :-)

If you ever see a line like...
"[date] [warn] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function curl_init() in /home/yoursite/public_html/symbiostock_ipn/paypal_ipn.php on line 39"
...in your logs you know now what the solution is :-)

Thanks everybody!

Cool, glad you figured it out.

Thanks Cathy :-)
