PayPal Problem (me thinks)
hi,
im all about the appearance which is why i design sites so when it comes to code errors im pretty much in the dark.
I have this client who i designed a site for and pretty much completed;
http://www.not-high-hosting.com
If you go to the HOSTING PAGE and click on one of the packages then pay through paypal the redirect page (which was set to http://www.not-high-hosting.com/packagesignup.shtml) however when people pay through paypal the redirection doesn't work
If anyone has the time, could you check the paypal code (view source) on any of the hosting package confirmation page alternatively see below)

did you add that return section, or did paypal? if you added it then paypal probably doesnt have 'return' setup.
does it work (return to) the page when you remove that section, I had paypal ages ago but I remember only being able to have a static link on their page - been a while

it says (when suppose to return)
Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /packagesignup.shtml
the redirection was a default form code from paypal

I believe that the form is trying to submit on the redirection page (submit info) when it should be set to just go to the page... im not quite sure?

If I remember right, PayPal will send POST data to your return page with info about the completed transaction. So it's not just a simple redirection.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

and if the server isn't set up to handle that, or the page has insufficient permissions, you'll get errors. there are a number of options, this can be found if you have a business account and look up IPN on paypal.
