Ruby Forum Test > Rails with Paypal Payments Pro error

Hi

I am trying to get up and running using active merchant and have been
following the article <a
href="http://www.actsasflinn.com/articles/2007/02/27/ruby-on-rails-credit-card-processing-with-active-merchant">here</a>

I have set up all of my sandbox accounts, downloaded the certificates
and pulled in all of the login info supplied by the sandbox account but
for some reason I keep getting "StandardError in
OrderController#checkout - Username/Password is incorrect" ... although
I am pretty sure that is not the case.


My controller looks like this

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

class OrderController < ApplicationController

  def checkout
    creditcard = ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.new(
          :type       => 'visa',
          :number     => 'the number supplied by paypal',
          :month      => 1,
          :year       => 2010,
          :first_name => 'Test',
          :last_name  => 'User'
        )
        params = {
                        :address => {
                        :name => 'Test User',
                        :address1 => '1 Main St',
                        :city => 'San Jose',
                        :state => 'CA',
                        :zip => '95131',
                        :country => 'US',
                        :phone => '415-222-2222'
                        },
                        :ip => '127.0.0.1'
                }
        if creditcard.valid?
          # Create a gateway object to the Paypal service
                gateway =
ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalGateway.new(:login =>
'threeq_1192013779_biz_api1.gmail.com', :password => '1192013817')

          # Authorize for 10 dollars (1000 cents)
          response = gateway.authorize(1000, creditcard, params)

          if response.success?
            # Capture the money right away
            gateway.capture(1000, response.authorization)
            render :text => 'Hazaa!'
          else
            raise StandardError, response.message
          end
        end

    end
end

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also have this in my enviroment.rb

# Ensure the gateway is in test mode
ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.gateway_mode = :test

# Install the key
ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalGateway.pem_file =
File.read(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'paypal', 'test.pem'))

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

does anyone have any idea why this is happening? any help would be
really appreciated.
