Any help would be so appreciated.

you need to change your tmp directory path, which by default is at /tmp and your host is allowing everyone to write there. your /tmp (listed in the admin/configuration/logging/sessions) needs to be in your document root path.

also email the newly found store and tell them the same thing.

I've seen this all too many times, especially with people hosted with PowWeb!

 

What's happening here is that you're on a shared server, along with lots of other people running osCommerce stores - and some of you are caching and storing sessions in files instead of in your database (so they're crossing over and getting mixed up).

 

If you have caching turned on in your osCommerce control panel - turn it off, and in both of your configure.php files change the last line to read

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

That will solve your problem.

I need to thank Vger for your speedy support. That worked big time. Is that something that should always be added?

 

Also. Mibble, what happens now that it works and if I don't change that path. The reason I ask is because isn't that where it's supposed to be?

 

Thanks again everyone. You're Saviours. : )

Dave,

 

It's an either/or. Apply Mibble or Vger's solution. Both work but you don't use both.

Thanks Ed.

 

Anyone with answers to why I would have to change the path to tmp?

[Guest]

Dave,

 

Mibble explained it. You are using the same tmp folder as every other web site on that server. So your files are mixing with their files. That's not a good thing on the web, especially for an e-commerce site.
