Error 404 after donation

[Andrea]

After I made a donation with PayPal I got this error message:

The requested URL /0ad/success.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Does anyone know if this is still happening?

[Brian Stempin]

Bump.

Is there any way we can test this? Any other reports of this happening?

By making sure there is such a file? :P =) Not sure when it's called though, have donated twice during the latest Pledgie and don't remember seeing it/any error message about it :-/ Could be that the Pledgie donating is unique in some way though for all I know.

Just to be on the safe side I guess you could create a simple page with that name/location saying "Thanks for your donation! You will now be redirected to the main 0 A.D. web page." And a script that after 5-7 seconds redirects the web page to ​http://play0ad.com

I can't recall seeing any other reports about this though, so I have no idea whether it's common. (Perhaps you could create the above-mentioned page and add a simple counter to it =) )

I'm about to take on a task that has to deal with donations, so I'll look into this while I'm working on it.

I made a donation, and this didn't happen to me. In fact, I was never bounced back to the WFG site...I was left on the Pledgie site.

The Pledgie might overrule any WFG bounceback code, but as there haven't been any other reports of this I'd say we can close it for now, and if we get any new reports we can look into it more then.

Cool-beans.
