Apparently paypal does not allow you to post back to a url with a custom port. Only http(80) and https(443) are allowed.

We solved it by using the paypal ipn proxy below. You should put this script on a different server and it will post all the IPN data to your application on port 8080.

The $url should be changed to the webapplication(on custom port) where the paypal data is processed.

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

1. $url = 'http://www.yourdomain.com:8080/ipnscript.php';
2.        
3. $posted = $_POST;
4. if (count ( $posted )> 0) {
5.     foreach ( $posted as $key => $value ) {
6.         $fields [$key] = $value;
7.     }
8.            
9.     //url-ify the data for the POST
10.     foreach ( $fields as $key => $value ) {
11.         $fields_string .= $key . '=' . $value . '&';
12.     }
13.     rtrim ( $fields_string, '&' );
14.            
15.     //open connection
16.     $ch = curl_init ();
17.            
18.     //set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
19.     curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
20.     curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, count ( $fields ) );
21.     curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string );
22.            
23.     //execute post
24.     $result = curl_exec ( $ch );
25.            
26.     //close connection
27.     curl_close ( $ch );
28. }

I was worried about it when i was browsing through the FAQ of my webhost. I opened the topic "How to redirect my site so it always appear with www.?" and this is what i saw...

You should know that codehomepage.com was my previous domain. It still redirects to arolabs.com.
At least they could have changed the domain name here...

I don't really care they used my code, but it would have been nice they told me they're going to use it. Or give me some free hosting...

Now this redirect script is something that's available all over the net, but what about your own coded applications ? They could just zip it and sell it !

That's the reason all my profesional websites are hosted on a dedicated server.

Do you think your website is save with your current hosting provider ? (Even if your not on a shared hosting account).

This php script will send you a mail with all the files that have been changed within an interval you specify.

I created this script because someone hacked into my shared hosting account and added some hidden spammy link into my templates. And since most shared hosting accounts do not have any kind of logfiles available, it is almost impossible for you to find out how the hacker got in. I could even be, the hacker got acces to your files by hacking another shared hosting account on that server.

With this script you will at least be notified when someone has changed the files on your server.
