Question thread #6

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

Re: DW Code on my server

Well, I *didn't* have my own API key (I've been doing this for so long for free, I didn't realize the PayPal config needed a custom username, password, etc associated with a PayPal API, not mine ::eep::), but I plugged everything in and still nothing on the PayPal.

Yep, on the Google Checkout; I doublechecked all of those, including all of the mods that had to be done.

I'll be adding debug to the pages - if you can point me in the right direction for that command set, etc. Sorry to be such a noobie, but like I said, I'm more of a hack than a real programmer. :)

I would start by putting stuff like "warn "Cart.pm, line 10";" or whatever into various files in htdocs/shop/* and cgi-bin/DW/Shop/* and see what appears in the logs. That might help you figure out more about where the errors are happening and where things are dying, which can help you narrow down the spot to look.

Awesome... Thank you for everything!

OH. You know, I just had a thought.

Are you running the payments workers? I don't know if that would cause the problems you're seeing, but it would definitely cause an issue with payments not being properly applied. It would be bin/worker/paidstatus and bin/worker/shop-creditcard-charge (although that might only be for the newer version of things with the direct credit card charges instead of going through PayPal).

I'm running all the workers, yes. I just decided to put the workers in debug and see if it gives me any hints as well.

I actually just commented out everything except the section for check/money orders, changed some wording around, and on the final "check out" page, added some "buy it now" buttons that I created on PayPal. I may still come back and try and figure this out later, though... Now my last hurtle seems to be virtual gifts. Setting up MogileFS. Wish me luck!

And thank you for everything!
