Troubleshooting
Solutions to common problems
Remember there is also FAQ section on my-aac.org website: https://my-aac.org/faqs/
1. Errors on installation page
1. ZIP Extension not found
MyAAC needs PHP ZIP extension to install plugins.
The extension can be easily enabled in php.ini.
Linux
On linux it's even easier because you just need to install following package:
sudo apt install php-zip
Then restart your webserver:
sudo service nginx restart
sudo service apache restart
Windows (XAMPP)
Go to Apache -> Config -> php.ini
Uncomment
;extension=zip
By removing semicolon ; from it
2. config.lua not found
There is problem with finding config.lua on linux
It's a problem with permissions file_exists(config.lua) returns false, even though the file exists
The current solution is to set execute flags on every folder above ots path. So if your config.lua (server) is located in: /home/myuser/forgottenserver/config.lua, then you need to execute following commands:
chmod +x /home
chmod +x /home/myuser
chmod +x /home/myuser/forgottenserver
And then refresh the installation page again and follow the instructions
2. Plugins
1. gesior-shop-system - PayPal Points are not being delivered / not coming
Ensure you have SSL (https) enabled. This is required for PayPal to safely deliver Instant Payment Notifications (IPNs). You can generate a free SSL certificate via Certbot tool. Just visit its website - https://certbot.eff.org/ and follow the instructions for your OS / web server.
If you are using Cloudflare, you need to add an rule to ignore PayPal IPs. (to do: add screenshots/instructions how to do it).
Additionally you can check PayPal IPN History to see the status of requests being sent to your web server. The IPN Status page if available under this address - https://www.paypal.com/merchantnotification/ipn/history
If you become following entry in system/logs/paypal_error.log
[Thu, 01 May 2025 23:13:50 +0200] Payment status is 'Pending'. Points will be added automatically after status is changed to 'completed'. Please wait.
It means the account email on PayPal website is not verified.
