cannot login, add items to cart

[sizemore]

I have installed osCommerce on a test Web site for evaluation and to learn how to configure and maintain the software. So far, I'm very impressed -- this seems to be just what I was looking for. However, I think I've something messed up in my configuration. I have created a user successfully, but that user cannot log in. A second, possibly related, issue is that 'add to cart' does not do anything -- the cart is always empty.

 

I should also note that my test server is behind my company's firewall, and as such does not accept normal http connections; only SSL connections are accepted.

 

A copy of my includes/configure.php is below:

 

  define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://volt.txcorp.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'volt.txcorp.com');
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/~sizemore/catalog/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/~sizemore/catalog/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~sizemore/catalog/');
 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
 define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
 define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
 define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
 define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
 define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
 define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
 define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/research/sizemore/public_html/catalog/');
 define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
 define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

My guess is that this is a session or cookie issue, but I don't know enough about it to say for sure. Any insight would be most appreciated.

If you can only connect via https then do the following:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://volt.txcorp.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'volt.txcorp.com');
