[Forum] Paid Subscriptions via PayPal

[stevegrant]

My site has paid subscriptions set up, which are recurring on an annual basis, with the bulk of them renewing around this time of year.

It's just come to my attention that a number of automatic renewals that are going through PayPal's recurring payment system correctly aren't sending the relevant notification back to my forum.

I have worked out why this is happening, when we upgraded to vb4, we removed the old /forum subdirectory that the forum was being run through. As a result, I suspect the URL which PayPal sends notification to simply doesn't exist.

Does anyone know where I can find out what URL it's trying to access so I can set an .htaccess rewrite rule?

I've had a similar issue. I have a one-shot subscription and it works fine. If I set the payment to recurring or add a recurring payment option I errors on the PayPal post back (edited to redact private data, but you see the form of the response). This is from the VB transactin log (w/vB 4 CMS).
