Hi all,

I'm just getting started with CiviCRM and I'm in the process of trying to set it up for our organization.  I'm using 4.1 on WordPress 3.  I'm at the point where I've created a contribution page, using Paypal Standard as the payment processor.  During the CiviCRM setup I selected the default values for my Resource URL's.  When I try a test run of the contribution page I eventually get the following error:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
Sending a relative URL to PayPalIPN is erroneous. Please make your resource URL (in Administer CiviCRM » Global Settings » Resource URLs ) complete.

Return to home page.

My Resource URL is set to http://beta.emact.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/
My Image Upload URL is set to http://beta.emact.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/

I tried both an empty (default) value for the custom CSS URL and the URL of my templates CSS file but both behaved the same way.  Any ideas why I'm getting an error about a relative URL when they're both absolute URL's?

Thanks,

-Bruce

Yes, it's set as:

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://beta.emact.org/' );



can u debug:

CRM/Core/Payment/PayPalImpl.php, line 427

and see why $returnURL is not an absolute url

Well so far I've traced it down to the url function in CRM/Utils/System/WordPress.php.  When the URL is being put together, the variable $script is empty, so when the url function returns (in this case on line 222) the entire base of the URL is empty.  I'll see what else I can dig up.

Edit: I just determined that $config->userFrameworkFrontend on line 186 is undefined, so that conditional fails.  As a result, $script is never changed from it's default value of ''.  Not sure what userFrameworkFrontend indicates though.  That's probably all I can do given that I've never looked at the CiviCRM code until now...

r u using a custom permalink structure? If so, can u switch to the default and see if that works.

the custom permalink code came in via a patch and might not handle all cases.

Check:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,23157.msg97824.html#msg97824

and maybe see if anthony c can investigate and submit a patch
