Help! The shopping cart is not working

[IBogomol]

The reasons are absolutely not known. At addition of a product in shopping cart the corresponding window opens. There the text "Your Shopping Cart is empty!". It can has taken place after updating the versions of the some php-files. In my shop practically there are no sales. I not at once have found out this mistake. I not the programmer, can anybody will help me? I think that a problem in Shopping_cart.php file. I have small knowledge HTML and i am using "HomeSite5". I am sorry, i am very bad speak English.

I have exactly the same problem at

http://www.downinthecountry.com/shop/

 

It's a fresh install with only the compnay configs done; all products are from the dist. Haven't spent much time mucking with it when I saw Iliya's message.

 

It's GOT to be something dumb

most likely a cookie setting, post your configure.php file here WITHOUT the database name, username and password

Fixed:

addition of: php_flag register_globals on

in .htaccess in the shop/ directory did the job.

 

Does anyone know whether this opens huge security concerns?

Hello everyone!

 

I had OSC installed and all was a-okay FOR MONTHS! Then customers started complaining that thier cart was emptying while shopping. My store was heavily modified and I couldn't find a way to fix it, sooooooooooo with it being the X-mas shopping season and needing a quick fix I deleted my store, and reinstalled FRESH. (saved mysql and transferrred customers and products of course!)

 

So here I am with a fresh install, NO MODS added, and the very first customer says this:

 

Hi Tammy

 

The cart doesn't work very well still. Adding things occasionally

deletes all the items in there already. Not sure if it's when browsing

and using the back key after looking at a photo. Can't be sure when it

does it.

 

Regards

 

William

 

I cant figure out how to fix it, its driving me crazy! Here is a copy of my config:
