Hi,

I'm trying to set up a paypal pro processor in civicrm (v4.0.5 in drupal 7, php 5.3.2). I'm in the settings, select website payments pro as the processor, and enter in the supplied username, password and signature as provided by paypal. Left all the other fields as their default value, when I hit save, I receive 2 errors for the API URL, even though they are default. The error I receive is "Enter a valid URL." This is very strange. Attached is a screenshot of the error with the credentials erased from the image.

EDIT: Appears to be a bug in php 5.3.2 (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51632). Solution: change the API URL so that it has no dash in it, then update the value in the database table.

It's the bug of php 5.3.2.

For Ubuntu Lucid users, etc, there is a PPA with newer releases of PHP 5.3.x:
