PayPal IPN callback is broken

After getting notices from PayPal for over a month now that my IPN callback url is not working and hours of debugging along with many posts on the PP forums it seems that after a PayPal update they broke the IPN.

 

It seems that many people have contacted PayPal and the developers/technicians and have gotten the run around and IPN still broken since early May.

 

It looks like you will have to manually set any invoices that used PP as paid and add the transaction ID and fees. Which is really a pain in the ass when you need production auto provisioned at payment time.

 

The other thing with that PayPal module is the callback url is not being shown correctly. If you look just right of the save button you will see it shows the root of the WHMCS url and the callback url is missing, modules/gateways/callback/paypal.php, so that needs to be fixed.

 

You can read one of the threads about this issue at https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Payments/IPN-Resend-Failure/m-p/465441

Not sure if it's related, but PayPal IPN is no longer working for me. I have changed no PayPal settings. I did recently upgrade to 5.0.3, and haven't had a successful IPN applied yet. I have logged into PayPal, and used the IPN History page to resubmit the IPNs that didn't post. They claim to succeed, and PayPal is most definitely posting the IPN back to my web server:

 

173.0.81.1 - - [14/Jun/2012:10:54:45 -0400] "POST /modules/gateways/callback/paypal.php HTTP/1.0" 200 0 "-" "-"

173.0.81.1 - - [14/Jun/2012:11:51:33 -0400] "POST /modules/gateways/callback/paypal.php HTTP/1.0" 200 0 "-" "-"

 

Those two log entries correspond exactly to the PayPal IPN history of when they send the IPNs to my server. The information shown in the IPN on PayPal site looks correct. Yet the payments do not get applied in WHMCS.
