SSL error for PayPal

    8 years, 8 months ago

    I am really losing my mind over this!
    I have been having problems with orders being cancelled after a payment timeout where paypal is giving an error message for SSL, as follows:
    [timeout] => 60
    [httpversion] => 1.1
    [compress] =>
    [decompress] =>
    [user-agent] => WooCommerce/2.5.5
    )

    03-29-2016 @ 12:22:22 – IPN Response: WP_Error Object
    (
    [errors] => Array
    (
    [http_request_failed] => Array
    (
    [0] => SSL connect error
    )

    )

    [error_data] => Array
    (
    )

    )

    03-29-2016 @ 12:22:22 – Received invalid response from PayPal
    03-29-2016 @ 12:22:22 – Error response: SSL connect error

    I’ve:
    – Changed the Notify Url to the onegiven to me by my host (beginning https) on my paypal account, though in my test purchase logs (using sandbox) it only shows as an http url still
    – Tested a slightly different https address as suggested in Woocommerce threads, incase that might help, no joy
    – Checked my email address is correct on paypal
    – Set up Payment Data Transfer on Paypal
    ?- Created an Identity Token on paypal and entered that into my woocommerce settings
    – Entered all API references onto Woocommerce

    All of these things have been suggested on various sites and threads and all was running fine only a couple of months ago without these changes, so it must be something that has occurred in updating.

    My host is being somewhat unhelpful and just told me it’s nothing to do with them and I should contact Woocommerce (so here I am!) The only thing I can see that should be an issue (though PLEASE correct me if I am wrong) is that the Notify Url that is going through in the logs is http not https, so I’m wondering if there is anywhere within the Woocommerce settings that I can edit this so it matches the paypal info or is this actually an issue with the host??

    Thanks for any help anyone can give – I have built my site myself – over 2 years ago, so I can’t be doing too bad a job! – and I am not a programmer, but I am a quick learner!

    Update:
    Ticking “Force SSL” doesn’t fix it either!

    Please try making this change https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/commit/ae36ff71fae112d08f0caf7f894e221254345328

    Thanks for the help but, as I said, I’m not an actual programmer, so what are you asking me to do here and where do I put it? There appears to be relevant info and links from the link you’ve given above but I’m not sure what specific info I need – or is this something I need to refer my host to? I don’t mean to come off ignorant but this is above my understanding somewhat, so I’m doing my best!

    That link is the change required to the plugin to test this. I just rolled it into our 2.5 branch so you can download:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/woothemes/woocommerce/release/2.5/woocommerce.php
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/woothemes/woocommerce/release/2.5/includes/class-wc-https.php

    And replace those files in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/

    Hey Mike,
    1) Just checking to see if the above message with the solution, sent to Joolzsoulstice, who seemed to be having the same issue as me, applies to me also?
    2) I notice that there is an update for WooCommerce plugin. If I do the update that will I still need to find the folder/file contain the .php information in my cPanel and replace with the downloads you’ve given?
    3) If yes I need to find these files and replace them, can I delete woocommerce from my website and reinstall? If this is an option will it have the new .php code??? written into it already?
    I’m a little nervous about going into the cPanel and editing .php code( is that what you call it???)
    Whichever way this works and whatever I have to do on my end now to correct my problem. I just wanted to say thank you for not carrying on like I was a bloody idiot and that the problem was all in my head.

    If you want to try it, download the two files I linked to above and overwrite your versions via FTP. Don’t edit code manually.

    Hi Mike,

    Sorry I haven’t replied before – we have school holidays and it’s been hectic! I will try what you’ve suggested and let you know if it works.

    Many thanks for your help,
    Joolz

    Hi Mike, I downloaded the info onto my desk top from the two links provided below
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/woothemes/woocommerce/release/2.5/woocommerce.php
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/woothemes/woocommerce/release/2.5/includes/class-wc-https.php
    I replaced those files in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/
    using Filezilla to dragged the files. A box opened asking if I wanted to overwrite etc, to which I check the overwrite button for both files. Both were transferred successfully.

    I double checked to make sure that everything had changed in my cPanel. I went into my file manager, click on edit, then click on code editor. I used the first link that you provided, so I could cross reference my new file using the line numbers https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/commit/ae36ff71fae112d08f0caf7f894e221254345328 to make sure all the information correlated. All files appear to have been been uploaded correctly and everything matches to the code given in the url above.

    I’m still having the same problem? Pending and cancelling out. The transaction is complete on the paypal end, so the funds are being captured and processed.
    Help!

    Anything different in your logs now? What hosting provider is this?

    Hostgator provider:

    This is before replacing updated code…see below April 5 log status after replacing code. I couldn’t see anything that was different.

    I’m having the same issue. Here’s a PayPal log from before uploading those two new files,

    and here’s a log from after uploading those files.

    * * *

    After uploading those files, the PDT actually worked for an order (PayPal Identity Token for PayPal Data Transfer), but when I disabled PDT (after uploading the above files) – because there’s no guarantee customers will wait to be redirected – I got the second error, and order stuck in Pending yet again.

    Hostgator is one which we know to not support TLS 1.2 by default.

    This might need changing to (1 to 6) https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/pull/10639/files#diff-756119b732dafd5bfcea0f7bb32fd481R126

    Hi Mike;

    I was away and have just returned and getting back to this.

    I am running WooCommerce v2.1.12. Unfortunately, I have done a lot of custom coding to mine and didn’t want to upgrade. I implemented your change in the files specified but when it takes me to the test site, it looks like it no longer accepts my sandbox credentials to log in. I also no longer see “Test Site” at the bottom of the PayPal sandbox login.

    If I overwrite my current files with yours obviously WooCommerce breaks as you are using a more current version than I am.

    Am I out of luck? To update to the current WooCommerce and reapply all the custom coding I’ve done would be a ton of work.

    One other question: Are you sure this isn’t related to PayPal’s new requirement of an SSL certificate? If I purchased one, would this resolve the issue?
