Electrum merchant, payment URL not pointing to a payment request handling server

trickyriky commented 5 years ago

Ok so i have spent the last 2 days getting electrum payments setup, and i am now well and truly stuck. I have it creating payment requests but those payments requests respond with "payment URL not pointing to a payment request handling server". Is there something missing from the documentation? Does electrum deal with running SimpleWebSocketServer? or should i be running it somehow, i have tried a few obvious things but electrum no longer complains that i need to install it, so i assume it is working. Do i need to forward some ports?

The only thing i am not sure i have right is my apache2 setup although there could be more, please can somebody tell me how to properly convert the following nginx example to apache2 and exactly where i should be putting it? htaccess, apache2.conf.

location /payment/ { default_type "application/bitcoin-paymentrequest"; alias /srv/www/payment/; }

Documentation has been extended.

Correct apache config.
