ISPConfig Issue: Paypal IPN blocked?

[vaio1]

hi guys,

why this request goes in timeout?

# curl -d "test" https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp -v
* About to connect() to api-3t.paypal.com port 443 (#0)
*   Trying 173.0.84.69...

thanks

If you cant reach paypal with curl, then it might be a paypal issue or a issue of your server with name resolution, network connection or similar but not a ispconfig issue. Or do you want to call it a intel issue because you use a intel processor in your server

[vaio1]

No Till, I don't want to accuse anyone.
The paypal link is correct and the server doesn't resolve the url. All these problems after the updating of ISPConfig.

No Till, I don't want to accuse anyone.

Then please write in a topic of a post a useful information like "name resolution not working" so that others which use in the next years for such topics might find answers to fix name resolution problems on servers.

The paypal link is correct and the server doesn't resolve the url.

So you have a problem with name resolution. For problems with name resolution, take a look into /etc/resolv.conf if the nameservers are correct and check that you entered the correct nameservers under System > server config in ispconfig.

All these problems after the updating of ISPConfig.

Everything that happens from now on is after the update from ispconfig, so this does not indicate a relation.

Thanks for your reply.

The name servers set in the ISPConfig is not the same in the /etc/resolv.conf

ISPConfig:

192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2

/etc/resolv.conf

search mydomain.com
nameserver 212.97.32.2

is it normal?

This is the result of the Curl:

# curl -d "test" https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp -v
* About to connect() to api-3t.paypal.com port 443 (#0)
*   Trying 173.0.84.69... Connection timed out
*   Trying 173.0.84.101... Connection timed out
*   Trying 173.0.88.69... Connection timed out
*   Trying 173.0.88.101... Connection timed out
* couldn't connect to host
* Closing connection #0
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

Yes. The information in ispconfig is normally not used. I just wanted to be sure.
You can ad a second nameserver in resolv.conf by addin a line

nameserver 8.8.8.8

This is the free google nameserver.

Have you checked if you can reach the pi url in a browser on your desktop?

Hey I'm having the " Exact same issue with the exact sme reading from the 173.xxx ip address". Did you get it resolved?

I am having the same problem, currently getting

* About to connect() to api-3t.paypal.com port 443 (#0)
* Trying 173.0.88.101... * Timeout
* Trying 173.0.88.69... * Timeout
* connect() timed out!
* Closing connection #0


talked to hosting and we both did a ping on the ip addres and the api-3t.paypal.com URl and both timmed out.

Any one have an answer to this? I have a ticket in to PAYPAY but of course their not open over the weekend.
