Boss forgot the redirect token. Doh!

Hi,

sorry for hijacking this thread, but we're having the exact same problem on a dedicated Linux server. CURL is not installed but fopen is enabled and the openssl module is loaded. The test file from the config thread reports no problems either, but after the Paypal transaction users don't get redirected properly and get the "ERROR: Unable to verify $_POST vars." error.

I suggest you post in the Ideal Server Configuration thread, since it's relevant and Jason will get a notification because he's posted in it. viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2636

And I'd also consider moving to a server that doesn't have the problem this one is giving you.

I'm trying to evaluate S2Member for use in a project I am working on. I must say, it's very impressive - a credit to your hard work.

I have setup all of my PayPal options (Sandbox), including IPN, PDT & Auto-Return information - I am able to successfully submit payment in the sandbox, however on return to my test site, I get the "Unable to verify $_POST vars. This is most likely related to an invalid configuration of s2Member, or a problem with server compatibility." message.

I've checked the config details several times. I have even setup a new business user account in the Paypal sandbox and tried using it's API credentials, I also tried creating new Paypal buttons (via S2Member). The payment is processed in the sandbox, the Paypal confirmation emails are being sent within the sandbox, but I still get the "unable to verify $_POST vars" error. I have attached the logs generated below.

This lead me to believe that I may have a server configuration issue. I'm on shared linux-based hosting and tried the various steps outlined on this forum.

cURL is enabled (I have no control over this), but the cURL tests are failing for both http and https (just a white page). The fopen test over https works fine (OpenSSL is enabled).

I'm at a loss as to what could be wrong. I have searched through these forums and tried every solution I could find, but to no avail.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? S2Member looks like it can do everything I want and I'd like to be sure I can use it before I commit to buying the Pro version.

Thank you,
Denis
