Magento 1.7.0.2 and Paypal Advanced not working - paypal

I've been trying to activate Paypal Payments Advanced in Magento 1.7.0.2 but it's simply not working. I believe the whole setup is correct, in the shopping cart and in the Paypal account, I have verified against the Paypal documentation as well as researched on the web.
I can go through the whole checkout and select credit card in the payment options, which displays the message "You will be required to enter your payment details after you place an order.", then when I click the Place Order button, it goes to the Shopping cart page without asking for the payment, and the cart is empty. The order then shows in the admin with the status pending payment.
I noticed on the console that before the redirect to the cart page, there is a 500 error with this url .../checkout/onepage/saveOrder/
I also seem 500 erros when calling other pages related to the Paypal Advanced like: .../index.php/paypal/payflowadvanced/cancelPayment or .../index.php/paypal/payflowadvanced/returnUrl
Any help would be appreciated, I already confirmed Curl is installed and working, SSL certificate is installed and working, the settings in the Paypal account like Enable Secure Token is Yes, all services under Service Summary say Live, so I have a feeling something is broken in Magento.
Have you seem this issue? Or were you able to install Paypal Advanced in any Magento 1.7.0.2?

Did some more searching on this topic and came across: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12898392/magento-500-error-paypal-payments-advanced
Deleting my paypal.xml file from my custom theme directory solved the problem for me. PayPay is now working correctly!

Paypal Express Checkout: Missing Login Form and Payment Button in Sandbox

I was successfully checking out orders before on Paypal's Sandbox. Today, the login form and the button to complete the payment suddenly fail to display. Anybody encountered this?
Looks like one of the many random browser cookie issues that PayPal's servers tend to have. I'd suggest logging out of any sandbox or live PayPal accounts you might be in, then completely close your browser out, open it up and try again.

woocommerce integration not working

When I check out the products I wish to purchase from my store it directs me to Paypal's page and I need to log in to my paypal account in order to purchase the items. However, every time I try logging in it says "Please check your email address and password and try again" which is very concerning since it works when I log in through Paypal's website.
It is not set to a test account. And I have tried using various paypal accounts.
Any advice?
WooCommerce is a great feature for Wordpress sites. I personally use the MagicPay gateway (see link if you want to check it out) with my online store, it integrates perfectly to my site and my customers don't have to have Paypal, they can just punch in their credit card numbers...
When I signed up they have a guy there who helped me with the integration.
Hope I helped!

paypal sandbox empty after login

The Paypal sandbox system is completely out of order. After dealing with many different issues (such as login cookies issue), now a new issue has come and I cant find a way to solve it.
Using express checkout, after reaching paypal sandbox page it will show cart preview on the left, and on the right it will show login section. Then when I login with sandbox buyers id, the right section just goes blank... nothing... no redirect, no pay button, no nothing.
Anyone got any idea?
I solved this issue after deleting test accounts from developer.paypal.com and creating new test accounts....
It must have been some internal issue in BugPal (I mean PayPal)....

shows an empty page and says you should login first to use the sandbox

hi i am trying to integrating paypal standard in nop commerce 2.4. after i set required things in admin panel, when i don't use sandbox, the cart shows up alright. but, when i enabled "use sand box" and after proceeding to payment for paypal, the site redirect to paypal to show the paypal cart, it shows an empty page and says you should login first to use the sandbox, a message like that. but when I put the site in live mode, the redirect loads the paypal checkout page as usual. i don't understand what's the problem.
i searched the internet for past few days and i am stuck in the situation.. please help me out.
as i am not rep 10 i can't upload image:
please see the link for the screen appears for my cart
When you set your cart to the sandbox, this is used for testing. You would need to set up a developer account with PayPal at PayPal's Developer Site. Once you have your developer account set up, you need to set up a test sandbox seller and buyer account. Then you would configure your shopping cart with your sandbox acct credentials if you are going to be testing with the sandbox. Then in a separate tab, log into PayPal's Developer Account if you are not already logged in. Then in a different tab, you can go through and test your checkout with the sandbox.

Setting up Zencart with Paypal

To begin: I am trying to setup Zencart with Paypal. I have followed all of Paypal and Zencart's instructions:
Putting in Paypal's API username, password and signature code into Zencart's Payment Module section. Checked the "live" environment.
I then tried buying a product on the website and got the following error message:
Zen Cart message: We are sorry for the inconvenience. The PayPal account
authentication settings are not yet set up, or the API security information
is incorrect.
10002
Security error
Security header is not valid
I have tried looking up the answer but everything I see says to make sure the environment is not in sandbox and that everything is typed in correctly. I have tripled checked and the API is typed in correctly and it is set to live.... what else can I do?
Moving on, I have tried to setup the sandbox but am unfamiliar with how to use Paypal's sandbox. So I reconfigured Zencart to "sandbox mode" with the appropriate sandbox API and I set up box a sandbox account for a merchant and private buyer but I don't know how to use them. Should I go back to the Zencart store and register with my new "Paypal sandbox private buyer email"? And will checking out using this email they gave me work as just a test... I don't want to go through with the checkout if I'm going to get billed...
Thank you for any help:)
The best place to get support on Zen Cart issues is directly on the Zen Cart support forum at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum.php
Further, an existing article already explains the basics of the problem you describe: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?277-the-paypal-account-in-this-store-is-presently-misconfigured-to-use-mixed-sandbox-and-live-settings-we-are-unable-to-complete-your-transaction-please-notify-the-store-owner-so-they-can-correct-this-problem-10002
It is absolutely critical that the THREE parts of your API settings (username, password, signature) be copied EXACTLY from PayPal's site into your store's admin settings screen.
There's no need to use sandbox unless you're a programmer writing new features for payment processing. So be sure to check the "Live" radio-button. (I realize you already mentioned that. Just adding this for clarity.)
You can also get more details on exactly what is coming back from PayPal by turning on debug logging in the module's settings.
PayPal tech support is available at www.paypal.com/mts - they can look at your actual transmissions and at your account, and sort out a problem if there's something wrong with the API signature details.
