Error on Stripe Payment Processor

Question

Am in the process of switching from Paypal to Stripe. (Joomla 3.4.8 & CiviCRM 4.6.10).

Everything appears to be correctly configured but something must be wrong as on clicking confirm contribution I get a reply:

Error Oops! Looks like there was an error. Payment Response: 
Type: 
Code: 
Message: 

Which is blank. When I check Stripe's log I can see that my info was received and then something returned:

Parsed Request POST Body:

The only thing I can think that's wrong is the webhook address for Stripe as this page suggests the path is different to the plugin's instructions: https://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=27531.0

I've tried with the URL specified in the plugin instructions: /index.php/component/civicrm/?task=civicrm/stripe/webhook as well as /media/civicrm/custom_ext/com.drastikbydesign.stripe-1.9.1/packages/stripe-php/lib/stripe.php /media/civicrm/custom_ext/com.drastikbydesign.stripe-1.9.1/templates/CRM/Stripe/Page/Webhook.tpl but nothings works. (I'm using full paths but can't paste them into Stackoverflow without more reputation)

Any help really appreciated.

Answer 1

Per our conversation, my current guess is a recent API change on Stripe's end is causing your issue.

My test install still works, but my API version is set to 2014-10-07.

Here is the CHANGELOG from my working version: https://stripe.com/docs/upgrades?since=2014-10-07#api-changelog

Answer 2

It turned out the server lacked PHP Open SSL. This wasn't being logged immediately as an error, but Andy Walker managed to get the logs to print the following and once installed everything worked as intended (after the Javascript cache was cleared).

Could not connect to Stripe (https://api.stripe.com).  Please check your internet connection and try again.  If this problem persists, you should check Stripe's service status at https://twitter.com/stripestatus. Reason was: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?
