I am setting up the default Paypal module that comes with miva and it fails after the order is processed by paypal and I click "return to merchant" The invoice page shows the error:
---
Unable to authorize payment.
---

Ithe log files on my webserver confirm that the paypal ipn response is being sent:

---
ipn.sandbox.paypal.com - - [05/Oct/2006:14:58:52 -0500] "POST /mm5/paypalp.mvc? HTTP/1.0" 200 11974 "-" "-"
---

As a test, when I put the IPN URL directly into my browser, I get the following error:

----
Runtime error in merchant.mvc @ [0000000d:000003c2]: merchant.mv: Line 979: MvDO: Unable to open '/mm5/5.00/': Is a directory
----


Any suggestions?

Which version and vendor's paypal module are you using?

Are you sure you have the correct path to the correct return file?

I am using the paypal module thats comes default with Miva 5.

I copied and pasted the URL from the paypal module configuration precisely.

Have you run all the MIVA Merchant updates?

Yes, all updates have been applied. I am on version:

Production Release 3
MIVA Engine v5.04


The contents of paypal.log from my server clearly indicate a problem however I am not sure how to interpret it:

Looks like you might have the wrong IPN number.

What is the IPN number? Is it the same as the IPN URL?

Can you suggest how this can be resolved?

Thanks

You should have an IPN number that is being passed with the data to PayPal.

Personally, I'd suggest ditching the built in PayPal module for Weiland's PayPal module (http://tinyurl.com/qfbjm) which works MUCH better than the built in one.

And for $25, it will save you hours of frustration.

I just bought Bill's module, thanks for the advice.
