Buy Credits

[davejo]

A couple of members on my site have used the 'Buy Credits' facility. I have a number of packages set up using my existing Paypal account.


When a member buys credits via a package should the credits automatically be added to the members credit total once the transaction has completed?


If the answer is yes mine didn't, on both occasions I had to manually add the credits myself to each member. Is there anything that might have caused this not to happen?

Credits should be automatically added. Check the file permissions on downloadsipn.php/downloadsipn2.php in the root of your forum. If you visit that file in the web browser you should not get an error.

Yep that would be the problem.

The default permissions are 666 after install, I have now changed them to 755. When I got to the file now, in my browser, it just comes up with a blank page, which I'm guessing is correct.

Thanks for the info.


EDIT: I have just had an error appear via email that say "INVALID IPN DETECTED‏" As i didn't know this original problem was to do with IPN, I have just read, in another thread, that changing the permissions to 644 seemed to have worked for someone else before.

My site at present is not available maybe it's a failsafe on the server side that shuts it down as it's also saying "cmd=_notify-validate
" error...I'm not sure if it see's that as a threat to the server, but I will change permissions to 644 when i get access.

Yes that's it should be good to go now.

Well I tested it on my test site and i mangaged to send myself some money using the 644 settings. So it looks like thats the answer...although my main site is still not available for some reason.
