Shopping basket hijacked!

I have had my site live for a week or so, but now when I go through the checkout process, which is supposedly secure, another site's products are in my categories box www.pppao.com. I thought that if I had an SSL cert that I would be secure. Have I set something up incorrectly? This is all very scary for me!

It is because you are on a shared server. Try changing your catalog/includes/configure.php (and catalog/admin/includes/configure.php although not sure you have to do it there) so the last line (on a fresh install) says

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

i believe i have seen that said to solve the problem. if not do a search. i know this topic has been discussed many times.

Thanks for the response. That line is already in both the configure.php files, although not the last line (I don't know if that makes a difference). I have tried searching for this problem, but cannot find anything. What keywords should I use?

Won't make a difference what line it is on. Honestly, i forget but i will do a quick search and see what i can come up with. Just have to get the right combinations of words and way to search until you find it. When I do I will post it here.

Ok... found this

 

Standard OSC sets the cache directory in the /tmp/ directory of the server and not in the user's tmp directory. Individual owners could change this to their own /tmp/ directory if they want to or disable cache.

 

So I guess you can either change the tmp folder or try turning off the cache feature. Both settings are in your admin area, under configuration, then cache.

 

Hope this helps. =)

Hi Wendy

I found a response to this problem - it was to do with cache control being turned on, and my cache directory set to .tmp. I have changed this and all is well again. Thanks for your help.
