Need Help with PayPal's Perl script - Will Pay!

Hello fellow warriors,

Having huge problems getting Paypals perl script for subscriptions to work. Talked to my host and they said it was an 'encoding' problem from Windows to Linux but I don't know if that's the problem. But it might be.

What I did is change subscription terms (hadn't in a while) and then ... it doesn't work anymore.

Feeling desperate because my subscribers can't get into the protected area. Paypal is generating the username and passwords, but they aren't being passed to the host server.

Please help!!

    When you changed the subscription terms, did you use something like MS Frontpage, instead of a plain text editor? That could've added additional code that messes up the script. Have a look at the code in a plain text editor and see if anything was added, even just empty lines at the top/bottom.

    Or, maybe, when you saved the script, you saved it as a different encoding (e.g. Windows-1252 instead of UTF-8, or vice-versus), and that could also impact your script.

    Lastly, make sure you upload the script in the correct format, usually, ASCII.

    Hi Edward

    Can you explain exactly how you changed the subscription terms, i.e. what modifications did you make and how did you make them?

    Did you actually make changes to the PERL script itself, or just in your PayPal dashboard?
