I got this from paypal and wandered if it is something I should worry about. I only use the clickbank payment plugin, so I suspect it is from when I used paypal once before? Any ideas? Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). Instant Payment Notifications sent to the following URL(s) are failing: /plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account. thanks Guy
Instant Payment Notification Warning I got the same email. Any news on how to fix this? Paypal is threatening to disable IPN if not fixed. ERROR MESSAGE IN AMEMBER paypal_r ERROR: IPN validation error: Paypal claims it is not-valid IPN transaction: [INVALID] EMAIL FROM PAYPAL Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN).

Getting the same issue with our site after we upgraded to latest version. Anyone know what gives here?
When you open IPN url from email in your browser, what you get? If 404 error check IPN url setting in your paypal account and just set correct IPN url
I'm getting this notification from paypal too. I will try what you suggested Alex and see if it makes a difference.
no the web page is not found, but as I say I am only using the Clickbank plugin. So is this just paypal being a bit odd and wondering why it has suddenly started coming out? Guy
This hasn't worked as the IPN url in Paypal settings is correct at my_url//plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php. I'm assuming as this is something that has happened the last couple of days to a few people that it is a bug/change of some type. Can you look into it please?
I spoke with PP support today. He mentioned I need to update my paypal profile to reflect the correct URL. It hasn't affected my PayPal transactions, but I'll go ahead and do the update anyway.
Same problem I'm having the same problem listed above. When I'm trying to set up aMember Paypal and I click on this link: Please mention your IPN URL for step 6 of PayPal account configuration: http://www.kirafix.com/amember/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php This is the error I get: An Error has occured paypal_r ERROR: IPN validation error: Paypal claims it is not-valid IPN transaction: [INVALID] I went to paypal and checked my configuration. IPN is enabled with the same exact address: http://www.kirafix.com/amember/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php Now what?
Sorry not sure what problem? Do you receive email messages from paypal abount incorrect IPN? Error should be generated when you click on IPN link and load it in your browser.
I also have this problem: Recently upgraded from 3.1.6 to 3.2.3 Post-upgrade I'm receiving the same error message from paypal. A look into my "ipn history" from paypal's side shows all ipns are apparently "failing" with error "404" (not found) However, when loading from my browser, the page is found! Seems Amember is receiving the ipn's absolutely fine as well. Because paypal "retries" each ipn multiple times, each ipn is being sent, and logged into the amember system multiple times (15 retries). This doesn't seem to be causing any problems, but obviously not ideal. I've turned off "validate ipn" in plugin settings and sent a ipn post to amember with CURL to check the response and indeed I get a status "200", and a white page load.. (i presume the default output for receiving an ipn?) Why is paypal reporting a 404 when I get a 200 under the same circumstances? Is there something i'm overlooking? Any help is appreciated. thanks, J
Do you have any security modules installed in php or apache ? For example mod_secure. mod_secure for example can block content depends on user agent. As I remember paypal does not send user agent at all, so this can be the reason of different results for your tests and real IPN messages. Do you have any customizations in aMember script itself?
