I recently upgraded from 3.4.5 to 3.4.7 and GoogleCheckout is having trouble with the googleNotify.php callback. GoogleCheckout is processing the transactions, but failing to talk to CiviCRM and thus all the payments remain "Pending" rather than completed.

It's:

Failed to Get Basic Authentication Headers

Deepak and I had a chat - he says it's likely a configuration issue with Apache which is denying the authentication. http://prashcom.blogspot.com/2007/09/google-checkout-failed-to-get-basic.html was offered by Deepak as a possible solution. I will try Monday. Anyone having a similar issue?

We can work it out in this thread.

I ran into this problem on CiviHosting.com The cause of the authentication error is that PHP is running CGI mode on CiviHosting.com Hershel was kind enough to provide a simple solution.

1) Create an .htaccess file in the directory of your scripts, (in this case 'extern') and place the following lines in it:

Code: [Select]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
</IfModule>

2) Add the following line at the top each of your scripts that use PHP Authentication, just before session_start() :

Code: [Select]

list($PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW) = explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6)));

Hi Stoob,

I am having the same issue. I followed your suggestion with adding the .htaccess and placing part #2 of your solution in the googleNotify.php just before Session Start. Is that the only place I needed to add that line since I am only using Google for payment processing?

It's still not working for me. Was working perfectly last summer.

On Civihosting put these files in:
/home/YOURSITE/www/www/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/

1. remove the .txt from each file name (thereby overwriting existing file)
2. add a . to the htaccess file so the filename is: .htaccess

These files will work for 4.0 and 3.4, future versions are uncertain. You may have to apply the changes manually if the base of these files changes in future versions.
