Title: Zen Cart Bitcoin Gateway Problem - Please help Post by: awozny on August 04, 2011, 07:52:11 AM Hello All,
Has anyone been able to get the zen cart bitcoin payment gateway to work? having issue with it connecting to bitcoind. I purchased a VPS and have bitcoind running on Ubuntu. The gateway installed correctly into zen cart, I can setup all the RPC information as directions require. Whenever I try to use the gateway zen cart throws this error : Error: Bitcoin server is down. Please email system administrator. This error suggests a communication error to bitcoind. I believe that bitcoind is installed correctly . When I run " bitcoind getinfo" I get this: bituser@server1:~/.bitcoin$ bitcoind getinfo { "version" : 32400, "balance" : 0.00000000, "blocks" : 139551, "connections" : 10, "proxy" : "", "generate" : false, "genproclimit" : -1, "difficulty" : 1888786.70535305, "hashespersec" : 0, "testnet" : false, "keypoololdest" : 1312281932, "paytxfee" : 0.00000000, "errors" : "" It does show that it is synched correctly. I have tried 3-4 different shopping carts with the appropriate Bitcoin gateways...no dice. Nothing connects at all. I did not install bitcoind myself , the VPS company offered this service for free. This is what is in my bitcoin.conf: server=1 rpcallowip=72.*.*.* rpcallowip=174.*.*.* rpcport=8332 rpcuser=user rpcpassword=password rpctimeout=90 Has anyone encountered RPC call issues with shared web hosting services? After all my testing I am starting to think that my hosting on a shared IP is the issue. Does this sound right? I am starting to feel exhausted and desperate to find a solution. Do you need a dedicated IP to get this stuff to work? Please can some linux guru give me the commands to check connectivity to bitcoind? I really want to make sure it is not some setting or firewall issue to bitcoind. Please advise....

Even better, I think you can just have no rpcallow= line unless you have a damn good reason to accept remote connections. |
