• Bitcoin payment gateway is not operational: ERROR: Cannot determine exchange rates! Make sure your PHP settings are configured properly and your server can (is allowed to) connect to external WEB services via PHP.

    Any ideas how to correct this? running server 2012 fresh copy of apache and wordpress install. Is there a firewall rule I need to enable for the apache server? The server is running in a virtual box, do I need to forward port 80 to get the prices to work maybe? I can access the internet fine from the VM.

    Any help much appreciated as I am out of options.

    Well, plugin tries to connect to an outside exchange rate APIs (there are 3 different services it tries until fails) – and apparently in your setup it fails.
    For test – create a tiny PHP file:

    <?php echo file_get_contents ('https://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/weighted_prices.json');

    Upload it to your setup and try to access it via browser and see what happens.
    I suggest to get a realistic, linux-based hosting setup and retry.

    If you need a working, cost-efficient, fast, secure hosting setup – let me know as I ran a hosting service off dedicated server and can accept payment in Bitcoins as well.

    Well, that sounds about right.
    Sincerely I’d still suggest to try from the real hosting space.

    Or hire me to look into it personally if your current setup is dear to your heart.
