osCid/osCAdminID problem

[randomGraphics]

I am a newbie trying to get osCommerce running on an existing site. Installed fine, except it uses a osCid or osCAdminID as part of the navigation string whenever going between pages. All i get is blank pages, no matter where I go in the store or the admin tool. If I manually reenter the address without the osCid or osCAdminID string on the end, i get there fine. Any help would be appreciated.

You say you are getting an osC ID, but don't mention session ids. Have you turned on Force Cookie Use? If so, turn it off and try again.

force cookie use (from true to false) cleared up the navigation isssue within the store but not within the admin tool. i looked for a similar setting within admin but couldn't find it. thanks for the help.

Okay, so you can see your store now, but not the 'admin' pages - is that right?

 

Check out a few things.

 

Clear your web browsers History, and Temporary Internet Files, including all Offline Content. You may be viewing the pages in cached form on your computer. If this doesn't work -

 

Check your admin/includes/configure.php file to see if there is any white space above or below the opening and closing php tag.

 

Is your server using php5? If it is then edit admin/includes/classes/upload.php, and on line 31 change $this to //$this.

ok- cleared the browser history, etc., checked for white space (none), and the version of php is PHP 4.3.8 (running on Apache 2.0.51 if it matters). neither helped.

i've started just affecting the catalog through the database, but would prefer the admin tool. again, thanks.

and somehow now i can't even see the admin tool when i log in...recleared, etc. as before. all i've changed is the heading of the index page and the logo, neither of those should have affected it as far as i can tell.

It depends upon how you did the edit of those files. Did you use the osCommerce File Manager? If so, stop using it, it causes errors to appear.

 

All file editing should be done by downloading the file via FTP, backing it up, then editing the file using a plain text editor (NotePad not WordPad), then uploading again. If the edit caused any problems then upload the original, unedited file.

 

What you need to do now is to upload an original copy of both of those files (to get rid of any errors that have crept in), and see if that solves some of your problems.

i'm using the file manager provided by my web host as i can't get to any of the osCommerce specific management tools...I'll start doing it by FTP though if that's a problem...

i am unsure how affecting includes/languages/english.php and includes/header.php (to change the logo and title text) would affect the admin tool because i couldn't access it anyway... isn't it still likely to be tied to sesions or something with the osCAdminID string? sorry, i'm just overwhelmed/lost...

I am having problems with my site, www.pacstarcomputer.com.au

everything is working apart from..

When I add a certain product into the cart it generates a osCsid and a osCAdminID

I spoke to someone at my host this morning and he believes that the reason is because something is generating 2 IDs If I removed one of those IDs I should be able to see whats in my cart..

 

osCsid=b31eec2cea62dede24ba186b4ea37154?osCAdminID=

 

Any IDEAS???

I need help fixing this prob..
