    Hello,

    We recently changed servers for http://www.woothemes.com, and after the server change we only got the IPN transactions to our old server (/amember/plugins/payment/twocheckout_r/ipn.php) even though we got new order creations to our new server (/amember/plugins/payment/twocheckout_r/thanks.php). All our recurring billing notifications were sent to our old server.

    2Checkout denied that they had different DNS servers on their side, and since I didn't believe them, I tested it by sending a test through their Notifications test page. I finally found that if you send it to http://woothemes.com/amember/plugins/payment/twocheckout_r/ipn.php, it went through to the new server. So all is good now.

    But that brings up my question. Do we need to have IPN notifications for new order creations, since thanks.php seems redudant now? Check this screenshot of the error log: http://www.jepson.no/u/dly9kv.png

    You see that thanks.php comes in after ipn.php and says that "2Checkout Rec. DEBUG: Payment #37599 already completed through IPN"

    Is there any harm in leaving both on?

    Hi there :)

    We also have the same problem being displayed in Error log:

    2Checkout Rec. DEBUG: Payment #3244 already completed through IPN


    and I'm wondering if it's any bad from it?

    No. You can disregard that error.
