Q1. Why my user subscribed and my account got the payment but the user was not added into the group?
A: In ACP, use the primary email account of your paypal account.

Q2. Why I can not update my user's expiration date manually in ACP?
A: Please follow the format yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss exactly. It means if the expiration date is 8th OCT, 2004 9:00am
Do write as : 2004/10/08 09:00:00

Q3. Can I change the phpbb scripts from a folder to another folder after I installed the PayPal Subscription MOD?
A: No, the PayPal notify_url is set to your current url, if you change to other folders means your lwtopupresult.php is not reachable at previous url recorded in PayPal, Your users' subscription will never be re-newed. So be careful and make sure if you really have to.

Q4. I checked everything and make sure PayPal information is corrected entered, Why there is no reply from PayPal?
A:
step 1..........................................................................................
Please check whether you have install some security MOD, like Phpbb Security MOD, Simple Firewall Mod, whether it blockes PayPal's return information as Attack and PayPal's IP address is banned?
For phpBB Security MOD, MOD Author aUsTiN suggest you to set DDoS Protection Level to Medium or Low
step 2..........................................................................................
as pointed out by Graciella
Check your .htaccess, do you have following line:
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^-?$" ban
step 3..........................................................................................
Save following code as a .php file, run it from your server, what does it return?
Code:
<?php
$errno = "";
$errstr = "";
$fp = fsockopen ('www.paypal.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if ($fp)
{
    echo "Success!\n";
    fclose ($fp);
}
else
{
    echo "failed";
}
?>

Alteratively, you can use curl, check the solution at http://loewen.com.sg/bbs/viewtopic.php?p=4839#4839
step 4..........................................................................................
As pointed out by TheTallMan
- Ask your hosting provider if they are blocking the PayPal IPN IP address which typically is 216.113.188.202 (PayPal notify back address may be more than one address, as hinted by PayPal)
- Ask your hosting provider if they are blocking port 200
- Ask your hosting provider if they are blocking html POSTS
- Ask your hosting provider if their database down occasionally (this apply to situation: some payments go through successfully, some donot.)
step 5..........................................................................................
Make sure your Payment Group name doesnot contain apostrophe (Single quote),
PayPal IPN fails to send any IPN notifications if there is an apostrophe in the name of the subscription. Example: "Krista's Crush".
step 6..........................................................................................
Run from your browser directly lwtopupresult.php or lwdonateresult.php or lwbbdepositresult.php, is your script correctly parsed and does it return a empty message box?
step 7..........................................................................................
There is one more thing you can try.
copy your lwtopupresult.php or lwdonateresult.php or lwbbdepositresult.php to lwtopupresult.php.bu or lwdonateresult.php.bu or lwbbdepositresult.php.bu
Then, change the socket to point to http://www.belahost.com/pp/index.php in your lwtopupresult.php or lwdonateresult.php or lwbbdepositresult.php and run a test payment. This way you can see if it is paypal or your script. This will also allow you to see the output the script is giving if any or if it has a parse error or something. Donot forget to rename the .bu files back.

A:
As requested by drgsldr69, in case you donot know:
