Paypal Invalid Response

Hello, My site has received this message:
"
Hello,
A paypal notification was refused because the response from the paypal server was
invalid
Check the documentation concerning this issue at
www.hikashop.com/index.php?option=com_do...rror#invalidresponse
This notification was for the order J8 on the website ozdetox.com.au/
You can access the order details directly by clicking on the link below after
logging in your back end:
ozdetox.com.au/administrator/index.php?o...task=edit&order_id=8
"

The payment went through though.. does it have something to do with paypal being down/upgraded a few days ago?

Please advise how to fix this

Cheers
Matt

Hi,

The error is still happening - I have activated the return method radio button

I have now switched on debug so if it happens again I will get the log

Any other suggestions to fix this?

I have attached a screenshot of the paypal plugin config page.. any idea why "Send details of order" shows up twice?

The paypal URL is www.paypal.com.au/cgi-bin/webscr
and email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

invalid response

I have no idea what is going on there.. lol - i have now deactivated the return method option to see if it helps/..

I had to delete the personal inforation out of the log due to privacy reasons.. if you need it please email me and I will sent it to you

Cheers
Matt

Is it perhaps that the url i have entered is

www.paypal.com.au/au/cgi-bin/webscr

and the url at the end of the log is

www.paypal.com/au/cgi-bin/webscr?PPREDIR...28ea2a5d17702da0dbf0

The above url returns a blank page with invalid but if you add .au into it, it redirects properly..

No idea if that helps

I have sent the log to paypal customer service also to see if they can shed any light on the matter

Cheers
Matt
