Sessions Problem

[Guest]

Hi

My site has a serious sessions problem and i really need help please to solve this problem i would be very happy if someone can help me .

 

Right the Problem

 

If you create a account and login once you login and purchase a product

it Logs you back out ?? If you Login 2 or 3 times then ALL IS OK !!

 

Sometimes all is Ok the first time round

But sometimes it plays games and you have to to everything 2 times IE login add to cart and so on ................

 

My Setup is a as follows

 

Unix Server 1.8 ( Shared )

Installation is Set to Fileserver

 

If i set as recommend to database it is worse

So my internet provider recommened file server as i dont have my own dedicated server ..

 

So I have done a complete new install with the configuration file server

it is 80% better but temper mental ....

 

Please adivse on the problem and a FIX Please

 

Many Thanks

Getting logged out constantly is usually caused by having incorrect http_cookie_domain settings in your includes/configure.php file. Some people enter http://www.yourdomain.com - when they should only enter www.yourdomain.com or even just yourdomain.com.

 

If you do not have an ssl certificate, shared or full, then also make sure that enable_ssl is set to false in both configure.php files, and that you include no details in any of the https file pathways.

define('DB_SERVER', 'mydomain.*****');

 

DB_SERVER is usually 'localhost', but if your site is working then the above setting is perhaps correct for your setup.

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

Setting it this way will store sessions in your database and not in files and this may help you out with losing your sessions.
