rrroonn Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Hi, This is my first post to the group. I am having problems with a site that had a pretty generic install but now want it to go 'live' using its real domain name. The only problem that I appear to have is that when I have the site configured to use the real domain name, users can't login - or it appears to be the case. I suspect that this isn't a login issue as such because I see the session files being created and they have details appropriate for the logged in user. However, the user always end up back as a 'guest'. The changes that I am making are to the configure.php file: from: define('HTTP_SERVER','http://localhost') to: define('HTTP_SERVER','http://www2.simdata.com.au') I have made the following change: define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN','simdata.com.au') I have also modified the host file to register the boxes IP as www2.simdata.com.au as it is currently in a test configuration. I am running W2k server with IIS and PHP 4.3.8. I have noticed some related posts that recommend changing from: define('STORE_SESSIONS','') to: define('STORE_SESSIONS',"mysql') I have tried both of these with the same result. In summary, if I run the shop configured as localhost then everything works really well; if run as 'domain.com' no-one can log in although this appears to be the only (but fatal) problem. I'm hoping that this is just caused by my ignorance and is readily solved -- any ideas will be appreaciated. Thanks, Ron
yazer Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I have the same problem.. localhost is mentioned everywhere in the settings, so when any user enters the site the php code lists the url (localhost/....) and since there is not localhost... the oscommerce gets wacked.. I had this problem with Installing php forums, and I used to set forum base directory from http://localhost/forums/..... to /forums/.. so when any user logs from anywhere the forum refers to the correct address... wether local address, www, or through LAN.. explorer always adds the /forums/.. to it's url and it works 100% I can't seem to do this with oscommerce... any ideas??? :blink:
Guest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 it is most likely your path, post your configure.php files here WITHOUT the database info, username, password.
