Hello Magento Team,

Seems everyone is getting this error and whole magento team is silent. The IPN POST back was working perfectly previously at version 1.4.0.1 but after my upgrade it to 1.4.2.0 the order is processed using PayPal Standard but there is no transaction no. shown at the order “payment Information” and the payment status at the “Comments History” remained Pending Payment. I’ve looked at the paypal_unkonwn_ipn.log and it says:

I’ve set the new IPN URL at the PayPal Account Center as suggested at this post:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/196048/#t251913

and re-triggered the IPN but still the it creates no effect at the order status but logs the same errors again. I’ve tried searching to many forum posts but with no luck :(. Can anyone really make some contribution to this issue. I don’t think Magento team have any time to see this issue but they have lot of time to upgrade their buggy versions.

Any help would be very helpful. Thanx in advance. I know there are lot of experts out there to solve this issue .

Cheers!!!!

I just ran into this problem today.  Interestingly, the orders are still going through just fine and I don’t see any problems, but exceptions always scare me.  Any ideas?

Me too. Magento, sigh.

I’m not understanding this coding as you share with us above, can you please also explain it ???

Hi everyone… we have the same problem with a shop. we use version 1.4.2.0 and get alyways the “PayPal IPN postback failure” exeption. Anyone has a solution in the meantime?

UPDATE: in our case we had the wrong cURL Version. Also it\’s nessesary to complie cURL with OpenSSL.

I had same issue, but manually patch by

http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/issue/?issue=13515#30

See my comment #30.

hope this helps
cheers

Hi ryanharne thank you for your solution. But now I have another problem. Some order payed with paypal print this error on system.log file:

Warning: file_get_contents(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /var/www/clients/client3/web24/web/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Ipn.php on line 145
Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.paypal.com/webscr?mc_gross=50.00&invoice;=949&protection;_eligibility=Eligible&address;_status=unconfirmed&paye;.....

Now my Ipn.php file is:
protected function _postBack(Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Interface $httpAdapter)
{

//$httpAdapter->write(Zend_Http_Client::POST, $this->_config->getPaypalUrl(), ‘1.1’, array(), $sReq);
try {
//$response = $httpAdapter->read();
$response = trim(file_get_contents($this->_config->getPaypalUrl() . “?” . $sReq));
} catch (Exception $e) {
$this->_debugData[’http_error’] = array(’error’ => $e->getMessage(), ‘code’ => $e->getCode());
throw $e;
}
$this->_debugData[’postback_result’] = $response;

$resp = preg_split(’/^\r?$/m’, $response, 2);
if( (is_array($resp)) && (!empty($resp[1])) )
{
$response = trim($resp[1]);
}
if ($response != ‘VERIFIED’) {
throw new Exception(’PayPal IPN postback failure. See ‘ . self::DEFAULT_LOG_FILE . ‘ for details.’);
}
....
}

If you have suggest it will be appreciate. Thank you in advance.

Hi wikilab,

Those were DNS related issue, please refer to your domain manager / hosting.
See these reported issue at

Hope this helps.

Hi - we get the odd PayPal IPN postback failure - the order in the back-end shows as Pending Payment but the money has been taken.

Magento CE 1.5.0.1

The unknown IPN log even shows this…
[payment_status] => Completed
[payment_type] => instant

Most order go through without this problem though so the process works...any ideas? Could it be timing out?

Addittion - the log also states this…
[postback_to] => https://www.paypal.com/webscr
[postback_result] => HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

Thanks, Paul

I\’ve just found out another reason why you get IPN failures on Magento 1.7+

If you are using Website Payments Standard and your site DOES NOT use SSL. Make sure the Advanced Option : Enable SSL verification is set to NO.

I have been having the same issue. If you notice, the postback_result should have much more than just

it seems that the 100 / 101 part of the response is not being cut off properly as it is supposed to be in..

..and in..

i cannot figure out why though

I found a patch at this URL. Hopefully it will fix issue

Hi MageFolks !
Has anyone found out a logical reason why Paypal postbacks sometimes (!) break with an empty [postback_result] ?

Is this a Paypal, Magento, Zend or curl bug ?
Is this occurring when one of the Paypal transaction parameters is given a special value ?
Is there any security risk with the kbaleozzz-ryanharne’s fix ?

With a fewer words: where are we now ?

It might be worth comparing what the function was in a previous version of magento - say 6.2.  We only have this issue in version 7

It might be worth comparing what the function was in a previous version of magento - say 6.2.  We only have this issue in version 7

After a quick glance, it looks like Mage_Paypal_Model_Ipn->_postback(), Varien_Http_Adapter_Curl->read() and Zend_Http_Response::extractCode() remain unchanged between 1.6.2 and 1.7.0…
Weird…
