turns out the problem was an authentication filter was blocking the post-back from Paypal.
Now i am banging my head with trying to understand the incoming parameters.
when i create the inital payment request, i keep a record with the payKey (something i need to find back and activate when the payment callback is processes) but it seems that the incoming parameters (rack.env) don't contain any reference to the initial request (payKey is different).

ideas on how am i supposed to link between the incoming IPN to my pre-existing payment record?

when you are doing the send back: ipn.send_back(env['rack.request.form_vars'])
check the env['rack.request.form_vars'] value before you send it out

Make sure that's not garage.

Hi There,

i tried your example as it is, but when i use your metal template the "ipn.verified?" call always returns false (send_back sets it according your source). anything special i should be paying attention to?

Hi, you can also use a Rails action as well. See https://github.com/tc/paypa... for an example.

Nice little gem! I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the IPN. I'm not sure how to use the metal template. I should make an action to handle it, right? I made an "ipn" method in one of my controllers and set that to the ipnNotificationUrl, but after that, I haven't the foggiest idea what to do next. I'd appreciate any help!

There seems to be some bug or odd behaviour when trying to use mongodb with RMongo version 0.0.18.

Connection goes normally:
mongo.con<-mongoDbConnect("tickets",host="localhost",port=27017)

But any attempt to use the connection results in Java IO exception:
dbShowCollections(mongo.con)

Feb 4, 2011 6:17:10 PM com.mongodb.DBTCPConnector$MyPort error
SEVERE: MyPort.error called

Any help is appreciated.

Re: Indexing XML files using DIH in Solr 1.4

Ok i solved the problem thanks.

There is a mistake at your post for "xml-data-config.xml" file you wrote forEach="/awardslist/award" but in xml it is <awardlist> (not awardslist : without 's')

Re: How to run Background Processes using Resque/Redis in a Ruby on Rails App

Tex — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 04:36:06 -0000

Hi Tommy, your answer drive me into right direction, copying and pasting the file I've misssed the spaces and the redis.yml had a wrong format (my stupid mistake...):

I have simply reformat from:

defaults: &defaults
host: localhost
port: 6379
development:
<<: *defaults
test:
<<: *defaults
staging:
<<: *defaults
production:
<<: *defaults

to "SPACE" stands form space character:

defaults: &defaults
"SPACE"host: localhost
"SPACE"port: 6379
development:
"SPACE"<<: *defaults
test:
"SPACE"<<: *defaults
staging:
"SPACE"<<: *defaults
production:
"SPACE"<<: *defaults

Now it works, thank you very much !

Did you create a redis.yml file?

Wonderful post Tommy, many thanks !

I've followed your instructions but when I run

COUNT=5 QUEUE=* rake resque:workers

it fails:

running with --trace at the end of command the result is the same... (no stack trace at all..)

this happens under:

Linux Ubuntu 10.04
rvm 1.0.21
ruby 1.9.2p0
rails 3.0.3
resque 1.10.0

Any idea ?

Re: How to run Background Processes using Resque/Redis in a Ruby on Rails App

tommychheng — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 14:41:48 -0000

In the scenario you described, I would install redis locally and then configure the development and test environment blocks of the redis.yml to localhost and the staging/production to your RedisToGo host.

This way, you segment your environments and resque will only work from the specified environment. On your production server, be sure to set your environment variable: RAILS_ENV=production

Re: How to run Background Processes using Resque/Redis in a Ruby on Rails App

Ryan Sobol — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:44:10 -0000

Let's assume we have a shared Redis platform (e.g. RedisToGo). Meaning the Rails development, test, staging, and production all connect with the same redis-server. Is Resque smart enough to know to only process jobs that originate from that environment?

I would recommend the full path as i'm not sure what the working path is(solr.home?)

Thanks for this post! Does the XPath parser in the config file require full paths to the data? I am on windows and can't seem to make this work correctly.
