The script name is actually wrong, my fault, but not exactly sure that's the issue, because we send them the URL to notify when a request is made. However, since it's declared there it might be overriding it.
The script name should be paypal_ipn instead of paypal-ipn.
Other than that, the only thing that could be preventing this is if your php configuration doesn't allow an fsockopen call (you might want to check with your host on that).
Rick I have checked with paypal and the payments are going through ok but still sitting as pending on the forum. The web host is saying that fsockopen call is not restricted.
They are pointing to the software or Host which is running Linux.
Would it have anything to do with the MySQL data base as the files had to be changed from lower case to upper case in order for the forum to work.
I have noticed this error in my log but don't know if it has anything to do with paypal:
