In the Paypal profile I need a URL to enable IPN. Is it just the public IP of the hotspot controller?
I searched extensively and found no references. This is 5.0rc3.
It should be the ip or url of the User Manager router or radius server. The PayPal server will perform a callback to that ip with the data from the purchase.
Insure you allow the PayPal server access through your router firewall.
Just http://routeriporhostname/ ?
Any path on that?
For User Manager, that is it. Just the ip or domain. No path.
I use FreeRADIUS and php, and it requires the directory and page also.
I know this is an old topic, but this problem has been driving me batty for hours, and I’m pretty sure what’s in here is bad information. In fact, I’ve looked at a lot of these discussions, and none of them seem to contain the right answer.
PayPal has to access the URL for your User Manager. That’s NOT just http://yourhostname – it’s http://yourhostname/user .
If I’m wrong here, please someone let me know, but I’m pretty sure I’m not.
I played with hotspots in 2010 but ended up never having to install any. Now I have an opportunity and I’m trying to get it all working again. Unfortunately, in the past three years PayPal has moved on from the old IPN (now called “Classic”) and a lot of the hooks and handles at their site are either really difficult to find or totally unavailable. Just as unfortunately, User Manager doesn’t offer any newer interface than the “Classic” IPN, so I’m sweating this one out trying to get it to work again.
