I am using the Paypal Library for ruby  
([http://dist.leetsoft.com/api/paypal/](http://dist.leetsoft.com/api/paypal/))

I have been testing it in development mode and the paypal sandbox site.  
Now I have moved my application into production mode but the paypal url  
still goes to the sandbox site:

[https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr](https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr)

How do I change the paypal URL?

Hi,

You have the information you need in the notification.rb file:

class Notification  
attr\_accessor :params  
attr\_accessor :raw

```
# Overwrite this url. It points to the Paypal sandbox by default.
# Please note that the Paypal technical overview (doc directory)
# speaks of a https:// address for production use. In my tests
# this https address does not in fact work.
#
# Example:
# Paypal::Notification.ipn_url = 

```

[http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr](http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr)  
#  
cattr\_accessor :ipn\_url  
@@ipn\_url = ‘[https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr](https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr)’
