Paypal + WebPermissions

[dadkind]

Hello All,
In this thread viewtopic.php?f=42&t=8894&start=25

For future reference, IPN works in medium trust. If you have straight medium trust, the payment will work but the ProcessPayPal.ashx script will give errors. You have to have medium trust + webpermission otherwise your customers will see an error upon attempting to return to the store. (It is common practice for hosting companies to enable webpermission.)

I'm getting these script errors on my shared hosting site (Drundo). So I suspect that I need to enable (or at least check) "webpermission".

Will a tech support person (at the hosting company) know what "webpermissions" means when I ask them to enable it?

Thanks,

Drundo should be familiar with it. They have been able to answer anything I have asked them.
If you site is large enough to justify it, they have Hyper-V virtual servers now so that you can run in full trust. I moved a couple of my old clients from a shared server there to a Hyper-V and have been very pleased. Backups are more accessible, I can log on remotely if I need to fix anything. Downtime is practically non-existent and the performance is fantastic.

Judy,
Cost is a bit of an issue and shared hosting is all that we can afford at this point.

Is there anything that I can do from the user's console that they provide?

Drundo is ending shared hosting for new customers (we're OK for now, they say) and so tech support is no longer easy to come by.

I do not have an account there but I would say it is unlikely. The trust level is probably locked in such a way that you cannot modify it yourself.

I would imagine a host would be familiar with the concept of ASP.NET trust levels. You could first ask them if you are running in Medium Trust to confirm your suspicion. Then you could tell them that you need to have WebPermission enabled for the software to work. Without WebPermission, there are many features that should not work right - such as the integrated shipping rate quotes, automatic currency exchange rates, and most payment processors. These features require our code to communicate with another website (or webservice) and this requires WebPermission.

Of the items on your list, the only one we are using is the payment processors (Authorize.NET). But this is working properly.

The only payment processor that we are having trouble with is paypal.

Still, I've not heard back from Drundo's tech support (perhaps its time to move... again).

We have logging enabled. Where are the log files put (for review)?

Thanks
