PayPal_r not completing payment notification

For the benefit of others I'll post this. The issue has been solved.

PayPal was not bouncing back a notification to Amember that the payment was made.

PayPal_R plugin is installed and active.
The primary paypal email address is the Primary address for the
account. The account is a verified Business account.
The URL I used for instant payment notification is :

http://www.mysite.com/member/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php


{The documentation doesn't use paypal_r for the path but has paypal/ ,
I assume the docs are not updated for this version }

The ipn.php file has 655 permissions.

DEBUG INFO: payment system actions product_id 6
paysys_id paypal_r
action renew

Try to load ipn url above.
Here is error that you will see:
Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: gethostbyname

This means that possible there is a problem with DNS or firewall on this
host.

Hello.

I logged into your server to replicate the issue and indeed was not
capable of resolving names. I added a /etc/resolv.conf file with the
IP of our nameserver and it appears to have resolved the issue.

Thank you,
