Internal Server Error PayPal Express

It sounds like your server isn’t configured to send HTTP requests with TLS 1.2, which is required by PayPal and pretty much all web services now.

What version of PHP are you running? Also, can you verify what version of OpenSSL you are running? This can be done by loading a file with phpinfo() in it on the server and then loading that URL in a browser. If you can give me a URL for phpinfo I can take a look.

Hello, You can check out the phpinfo at:

I’m running Debian 8 and installed my SSL certs from GoGetSSL if that helps. Let me know how to enable TLS 1.2, as I would like to get your plugin working. Thank you for the quick response.

Hmmm…well, you’re running PHP 5.6 and OpenSSL 1.0.1, which should be good. Based on the empty result in the log, though, the HTTP request must be failing for some reason.

Can you check in your WooCommerce -> System Status report and see if shows any red alerts for the HTTP request functionality?

Hello, I just went through my conf and set the tls to include 1.2 and still get the same error. I also checked the system status and I have no red except for mysql stating that I have mysql 5.5 and wordpress recommends 5.6, but I don’t think that has anything to do with PayPal Express.

What version of WooCommerce are you running? We’re not fully compatible with WC 3.0 yet, but I’m literally working right now on final testing to get our 1.4.0 update released which solves this problem (and adds lots of new features and improvements.)

It might be best at this point to just wait a day or two until you see this update become available. Then if you’re still having troubles on WC 3.0+ and PayPal for Woo 1.4.0 we can dig a little deeper.

I updated to the newest version and I actually have your plugin working on another server using the latest and have not noticed the same error. Perhaps its my template. I’ll wait till you get the new version going. I’ll continue to use the standard until you get the update. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Any news on this update?

I too am getting a 502 error.

Thanks

PayPal for WooCommerce 1.4.0 update was just released today. Please apply the update, clear out any caching / CDN services you have running, and then review the gateway settings for the plugin and click Save even if you don’t have to change any options.

We did add an option to force TLS 1.2 you can try through the global plugin settings, too. Please check that out and let us know if you continue to have issues. Thanks!
