Hi,

 

I'm using paypal NVP Api by 5-6 months.

Today I'm receiving an error "Connection Failure"

 

server url used : https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp

 

I'm using Coldfusion.

 

is that changed? or there are any problem?

I have two servers with different configuration:

 

First One: IIS 6.0 + Coldfusion7 MX. On this server i use <cfhttp to interact with Paypal NVP API. Till yesterday(09-29) it was working perfectly. Today I get  "FAILURE CONNECTION" without making any change in coldfusion or IIS configuration.

 

Second One:  IIS 6.0 + Coldfusion 8. Today I tried to call paypal NVP API using <cfhttp in coldfusion and I don't get any Error. It's Work!

 

It possible to know if paypal made any changes in api calls?

how I can get it work on First Server?

 

It's urgent,

 

Thanks

Naeem

We are in the exact same position - code that has worked perfectly fine for 12+ months is suddenly broken. We are also on ColdFusion (version 7).

I'm having the same problem too.  Today 9/30 all my clients gateways stopped working.  CF7 IIS 6.  On wiht tech support now.  They first told me to verify that the root certificate class 3 verisign g2 is installed.  I went ahead and reinstalled it on the server but still same problem.

 

Anybody have any ideas?  If I find anyuting out I'll let you know.

naeemi,

 

I too can confirm as of now that the problem is with CF7 only.  I have an application on CF8 box and it works too.  I'm still waiting to hear back from Paypal Support.  They gave me suggestions which I feel will do nothing ("Do a windows update":smileywink:.  I think it's going to be a while before this gets resolved and may force me to upgrade to 8 just to rectify this problem.  All of my clients are down!

Kudos!

Same issue with CF7. All CF8 servers are working.

 

The certification is not the issue. I used my web browser to pull up PayPal's new cert, and imported it directly. Still now working.

 

Time upgrade that CF7 box to a eval of CF8, 30 days should be enough time to figure this out. 

Kudos!

To resolve the problem of the ColdFusion MX 7 application service not having a valid certificate for the paypal api url the following was sucessful:

 

 

Copied the "Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2.cer" file from the root certificates zip file provided by VeriSign (https://www.verisign.com/support/roots.html) to c:\vs-g2-import.cer to remove spaces from the filename.

 

Issued command:

C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\jre\bin>keytool.exe -import -keystore c:\cfusionmx7\runtime\jre\lib\security\cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -trustcacerts -file c:\vs-g2-import.cer -alias vs-g2-import-09-09-30

 

Restarted the ColdFusion application service

Notes:

The keystore password is apparently "changeit"

The keytool.exe program is used to list/manipulate certificates in the ColdFusion keystore (keytool.exe /?) Used the "-alias vs-g2-import-09-09-30" flag on the command line as it seemed confused by my earlier import of the 3G (third generation) version of the file and complained the alias already existed.
