paypal encrypted button debugging

[Anonymous]

I am trying to setup paypal encrypted button and i believed i have fill in all the necessary information: path to 3 certificates and certificate id etc.
However, when register button is clicked. all i see is the spinning wheel, the paypal button next screen never shows up. (If i switch select to non encryption, it work)

So i am not sure what went wrong, is there any log or related i can look to find out what went wrong?

if the wheel keeps spinning (and I assume it works without encryption), then you have a php error somewhere, preventing the rest from working. Check your browser console for hints and also your webserver error logfiles. It might be that the paypal encryption requires some php lib or access to a dir or so …
I’ll check on my side for a possible newer version for the paypal php files.

yes turns out i have made some typo in the path to the certificate stored in hosting system.
Once i fixed the path, it is working.

I have looked at the PayPal.php source code, it did have a logic when file not found that it echo back some html text that suppose to warn users, but i guess maybe the flow we have is ajax or something, the warning message did not show up on web site.

I have to add my own logging and look at server log to realized the problem.

The next version of EME will show php generated messages in ajax replies on screen and fail more gracefully.
