Sandbox Subscribe Button Broken

[john-cullen]

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

This is the basic issue... I have a subscribe button from the sandbox. I've tried clearing my cookies, closing my browser, restarting my computer, making other buttons, switching computers, and various other slight alterations. I get the error above regardless of where I submit the form from. This was working perfectly well just a little while ago, now it's not.

This is only a problem on the sandbox, the live subscription version is fine but I cannot test my system at all.

I'm using react but the form in the Developer Tools of Google Chrome looks exactly like the one I copy-pasted.

<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">

<input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick">

<input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="Q9WWAWDQZD3XS">

<input alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" name="submit" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" type="image">

</form>

Hello,

I am experiencing this same issue: Internal Server Error when trying to subscribe to a package using the Sanbox. I was going to deliver (change from sandbo to live) my project on Monday this week and failed exactly when showing the demo to clients... Very embarassing! Do you (PayPal) have a date when this is going to be resolved?

This is my button:

<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="G9RRXJD6V5BHY">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Membership Level">Membership Level</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
	<option value="Level 2">Level 2 : $1.00 USD - monthly</option>
	<option value="Level 3">Level 3 : $10.00 USD - monthly</option>
	<option value="Level 4">Level 4 : $33.00 USD - monthly</option>
</select> </td></tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

Right now even the www.sanbox.paypal.com is failing for me. Very stressful to have this from a secure company. If there is a planned maintenance, they should tell at least at some point of the process. Several hours lost figuring out this issue.

Thanks in advance. Hope to hear something promising soon.

Wow the whole sandbox site is down with a...

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

...I'm so tempted to leave PayPal for a different online payment manager. This is ridiculous.

Ok... it's back up now.
