MACKhosting.com Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Hello everyone, Today I got a payment notification but no order, which is weird because it's the first time it has happened. So I went to the store and the order was in the database. I went to the store to set up a test order and see if it would email this time. At the top with a pink background I get this message: Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created. I have never seen this before. Is it just coincidence that these two problems happened at the same time or are they related? I guess you can check it out at The Slabs Store Thanks
Geotex Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Your hosting company may have blocked /tmp/ for security reasons. Set up a directory on your website, chmod 777 or 775, then in admin panel - configuration - sessions edit the sessions path to this new directory. ex: catalog/sessions Then set your robots.txt to deny this path to spiders.

MACKhosting.com Posted June 30, 2004 Author Posted June 30, 2004 Well, that seems to have worked in the actual cart, but now in the admin section I get this: Warning: session_start(): open(sessions/sess_d6b7ee54e5a115772f5333d4cf38a839, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/theslabs/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67 Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/theslabs/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php:67) in /home/theslabs/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67 Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/theslabs/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php:67) in /home/theslabs/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/theslabs/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php:67) in /home/theslabs/public_html/store/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 18 Warning: Unknown(): open(sessions/sess_d6b7ee54e5a115772f5333d4cf38a839, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (sessions) in Unknown on line 0 Also, I still have problems with the order emails not sending.
OceanRanch Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 On the sessions you might want to try and store them in the database rather than in the external files. change the last line in the following files catalog/includes/configure.php admin/includes/configure.php from define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); to define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); On the emails, see if they begin working again after you resolve the session issues.

MACKhosting.com Posted June 30, 2004 Author Posted June 30, 2004 I don't know what is going on now. I made those two changes to the configure files. Now when I go to the store index page it's like the style sheets don't work and all the images are gone. That is at http://www.theslabs.com/store Also, I made the change to the admin configure page. It took away the error type messages that were showing up, but any of the links I clicked, like Orders or Customers, said the file could not be found.
Geotex Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 I keep seeing an extra / in your path, plus an INCORRECT path. Check the paths you changed in admin and your configuration files Right clicking on any of the broken images shows http:///images/buttons/history-on.gif a correct path would look like: http://shirleyscathouse.com/catalog/images/21636sm.jpg GEOTEX from Houston, TX (George)
MACKhosting.com Posted July 1, 2004 Author Posted July 1, 2004 Man, I have no idea how that happened. This is the most frustrating thing I've had to deal with. I did a cart for another site and had absolutely no problems with it at all. I tested this pretty extensively for 3 or 4 days with no problems last week. Today the advertising started for this site and now the store doesn't work and I don't have time to fix it because I have a project due tomorrow and a final on Friday!!!
MACKhosting.com Posted July 1, 2004 Author Posted July 1, 2004 I don't know what I did, but the problem seems to be fixed, except for the non-emails. I wonder if it is a problem with the PayPal IPN contribution, but I don't know why because it worked before. I tried an order through check/MO and it worked fine and the email came but not when I paid through PayPal
