Please try to contact the merchant:
1.<b>PayPal response:</b>
2.SILOVER -> name=LIVE6.API.1&silo_version=880&app=appdispatcher_apit&TIME=4028165460; domain
3.TIMESTAMP -> 2015-02-25T00:36:01Z

PayPal suddenly stopped working overnight and is reporting the above error:

 

 

 

I am using PrestaShop v1.6.0.6 and the PayPal module v3.7.2

 

I have not changed any configuration settings or anything, the module was working yesterday but now it's stopped. My site is http://abfigures.com

 

I have had around 20 notifications in the past 24 hours and my customers are (understandably) getting annoyed.

 

 

Anybody else experiencing this? Surely I'm not the only one.

Yes, Of course I did. And the latest of them was written back in January 2015 while all of the others were last updated in 2014. I am not using 'PayPal Europe' and I have updated the secure payment code to use TLS instead of SSL V3. That has been working since my site went live a month or two ago.

 

As far as I could tell, none of them describe the symptoms that I listed in my original post. The module was working fine up until yesterday, with previously successful customers now suddenly unable to make orders.

 

Do you have any suggestions to help? Can you point to the specific one of these 5 pinned posts that actually covers my problem?

Same problem on different ecommerce, and since yesterday February 24 at 15:00 Italian time. The problem on different versions (PayPal V. 3.8.2 to 3.8.1 and also on the PayPal module PD + Extra Fee V 3.8.6) of ecommerce hosted on different web servers. :wacko:

 

Do you have any suggestions to help?

PayPal sends the log and refers to a 3d that solves nothing ... (https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/372978-yesterday-worked-today-error-from-paypal-silover/)

Paypal asked me to reinstall cURL as test.

 

Trying it i received this error message:

PYCUR ERROR 77
error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c105b9de: BAD

So after a google search i found that solution:

nss-softokn breaks yum/rpm in CentOS 6 In order to fix it do the following:

wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/x86_64/Packages/nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-19.el6_6.x86_64.rpm
rpm2cpio nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-19.el6_6.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
cd lib64
cp libfreeblpriv3.* /lib64
yum update

After i performed that i have launched a simply:

yum update curl
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

I did that on four servers CentOS 6.3, 6.4

 

I was not thinking about that problem because it was encountered at the same time in e-commerce hosted on four different servers with different ISPs...but those are all on CentOS.

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 12.04.

 

I tried the solution:

 

 

On line 49 change : 

 

if (!$simple_mode || !preg_match('/[A-Z]+=/', $tmp, $result))
 
with : 
 
if (!$simple_mode || !preg_match('/[TOKEN]+=/', $tmp, $result))

 

 
 
but it don't work!
 
 
After my system administrator tried the solution of Arteinfo (update curl and restart the machine) and it work fine!
 
Thank you Arteinfo!

Hi everyone, 

 

Indeed we were working with PayPal today to manage to understand why all of a sudden the module did not work anymore. 

 

By default, if cURL is enabled on your server, the module uses cURL to communicate with PayPal, but if it is not, then we use the fsockopen protocol.

It seems that the result of the request that the module sends to PayPal has somehow changed, but we do not know why and where this comes from. 

 

By using cURL, you won't have any issues. 

We are still trying to understand how to change that so that it works also for fsockopen protocol.

This is sounding promising. At least the problem is beginning to be understood and possible solutions are emerging. Nice work. Hopefully a change to the PayPal module is coming soon - fingers crossed!

 

In the meantime I will raise a support ticket with my hosting company and see if they can install cURL on their server and restart their tomcat. However, I suspect they won't do this sort of thing lightly as they have literally thousands of customers that might be affected by a restart.

Hi everyone, 

 

If you still have the same error, please try to change the following : 

 

In the module/paypal/api/paypal_connect.php 

 

On line 49 change : 

 

if (!$simple_mode || !preg_match('/[A-Z]+=/', $tmp, $result))
 
with : 
 
if (!$simple_mode || !preg_match('/[TOKEN]+=/', $tmp, $result))
 
This worked for us,

I have a older Paypal module v2.8.6. There the change is on line 15 in module/paypal/api/paypalconnect.php.

 

I applied the change and it seems to work.

 

Thank you!

Paypal Europe v3.8.2 has the following changes

1) It adds a specialized "EU" payment page. 

2) It adds a case insensitive check during express checkout for the Paypal transaction status.  'Completed' did not equal 'completed' in some scenarios, so payment would appear to have failed.

 

I upgraded now to PayPal Europe 3.8.2, I have to change the line 49 or leave everything as well?

module/paypal/api/paypal_connect.php has not changed since v3.8.1, so the line number would be the same.  If you are having the issue, then you can try the change Thoma had suggested.

Ok... Third time typing this out. None of this works for me. When people try to use paypal express check out, it re-directs them to an error page on my website.

It says:Unfortunately, an error occured while communicating with PayPal.

Short Error Message: Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details.
Detailed Error Message: Item total is invalid.
Error Code: 10426
Please contact our Customer service and mention this error code to get this issue resolved.


When people proceed with checkout and use paypal as a method (only method), they go through the re-direct process and end up with this error on Paypal.

The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.

pixel.gifpixel.gif The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.


I have tried fixing the coding as suggested by Thoma, but I do not have a paypal folder nor a paypal_connect.php file.
I have a paypalusa folder, but no api folder, or that php file... Please help me resolve this.

I do have service/payment options restricted to Canada only.. Can't seem to find anything that would cause paypal issues.

Everything was behaving smoothly until recently I had a few complaints.

Did this probleme apear before 02-25-15 ? Other question is are you looking in the right folder. Sometimes people search in .../YourTheme/Modules/.... ? If this is right, just look in the supperior folder /yourinstallation/modules/...

I've got the same problem after running updates for Ubuntu 14.04 a couple of days ago.

 

For others, who find this topic:

 

Solution for Ubuntu 14.04 + Prestashop v 1.5.6.2

sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo service apache2 restart

After I installed PHP curl the problem went away.

Hi, I updated my paypal to v3.8.2.

 

I did changed the line 49 as thoma suggested. But still got the same error.

Here's the error message:

 

Please try to contact the merchant:

  1. <b>PayPal response:</b>
  2. SILOVER -> name=LIVE5.API.1&silo_version=880&app=appdispatcher_apit&TIME=3230070356; domain
  3. TIMESTAMP -> 2015-03-04T04:14:57Z

Check your API credentials in your backoffice > module> Paypal.

 

if you are in test mode should be Sandbox credentials on developpers paypal

or in live mode should be Live api credentials.

I have been searching through a multitude of forums to find a fix to this problem over the last few months, but today I finally cracked it!

 

I uninstalled the existing PayPal module (3.8.6), and uploaded an older version (3.8.2), and it works perfectly!

 

Here's the link - http://addons.prestashop.com/en/payments-gateways-prestashop-modules/1748-paypal.html

 

Please let me know if it works for you. Good luck!

v3.8.2 is the latest version.  Where did you get v3.8.6 from?

well, it should be pretty common sense that if you are using an old module with a new version of Prestashop, the likelihood of the old module working is nil, and it would require an update.  pretty much any module you were using would likely require an update.

My module all of a sudden stopped working without doing any change or upgrade (presta 1.5.4 and version 3.8.1 paypal). I got the same error

 

  1. <b>PayPal response:</b>
  2. SILOVER -> name=LIVE9.API.1

and when doing the suggested change on line 49, i can no longer access my website as i get a blank page with the following error:

 

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module paypal_connect:
syntax error, unexpected ''.$host.$script.'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING)

 

I have no idea what i can do to solve this problem. It is getting pretty frustrating.
