    Hi,

    I have been using amember for quite some time now without a problem, however only until today.

    Normally when members sign-up through paypal, I beilieve after filling the form and confirming their payment the IPN system in paypal sends a notification to paypal/ipn.php page thus notifying amemebr that payment has been made and to activate the memebrship for the customer.

    Until tonight this was working fine however my last member made the payment which went through but amember did not register the payment and recorded him as an active member. Looking at the problem I tried signing up myself to check if there was something wrong or not and it did not work for me either. I have amemebr installed on the two sites and the same probelm exists on the other one.

    Is anyone else experiencing this problem as well and if someone can confirm for me please if paypal has not changed the coding or the way its IPN system works or perhaps there is just a simple delay in paypal sending the notiifications.

    The error debug log indicated the following error:
    PAYPAL ERROR: finish_waiting_payment error: Payment not found with such ID# (in the brackets there is Paypal txn I.D)

    Best Regards,
    Zeeshan

    Problem Solved

    Hi again,

    Just to let you guys know that the probelm has been solved.

    The paypal system is taking slightly longer time than usual to send the IPN messages to the url. So if some of you people out there are thinking that why the members are not getting activated, just give them some time and they will go through.

    Regards,
