Rick,

Here is the information regarding my paypal which is on a Linux server:

Instant Payment Notification (IPN) On
Instant Payment Notification (IPN) URL: http://www.outdoorking.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=paypal-ipn

The members are not being activated just sit as pending.

Do I need to change any other files for it to work as it all worked great on a windows server prior to the shift.

Any help would be appreciated as it is getting really frustrating.

Regards,

Bruce
