Error just wont go away...]]>
I understand what is happening, but am at a loss with what else I can do to help the issue. I have asked them if there is something up with cUrl or fopen, and that the test mentions open_basedir?? which may or may not be causing problems.

Its on ilisys reseller hosting http://www.ilisys.com.au/. I can try for more help from the support team, they have been trying but are unsure what the cause is, and wont waste time on it because its a plugin.

Do you think it could be a problem with your server hosting provider? What hosting provider are you currently using?

I posted a thread a couple weeks ago with a little confusion in regard to this error, but the thread title is incorrect/misleading (I thought it was SSL related) so I figured I would make a new one that might help some people looking into this error.

The problem is that this error just wont go away, and I feel like I have tried everything I can to fix it. I will list what I have done. We are just using regular PayPal buttons.

- Enabled logging so I can see what is happening, it happens for every transaction.
- cUrl isn't available so it falls back to fopen, which is available.
- I force www. on the domain with mod_rewrite
- I also use 'php_value allow_url_fopen On' in the .htaccess
- I have re-entered the PDT token from PayPal...
- Asked the server about the error, and they are hesitant to help because its a WP Plugin.

I really don't know what else to do, should I request to see if I can get cUrl enabled on the server? I don't want to cause anymore issues, but I think that is all I am left to try. I find it odd though that it wont work if fopen is apparently working, leads me to believe something else is the cause.

Here is an example of the log.
