Items gone after I hit Checkout

[palmatec]

I am working on the site using the IP address because my client's store has to remain on her old server until I get this worked out.

 

URL: http://65.109.231.43/catalog/

 

After I add items to the cart, I click "checkout" and it switches to my Shared SSL path. At that point the shopping cart is empty again. Then after I log in, I am still in the secure pages, but when I click on any product, it switches back to http non-secure pages, and the cookies get set there.

 

Is there a setting to prevent the links from pointing back to the non-secure pages. I assume that is the problem. The software is included with my hosting account, so I assume it will work on this server.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks...

There should be no need to use the ip address, because you should be able to use a temporary pathway provided by your hosting company e.g.

http://servername.yourhosts.com/yourdomain.com

 

Make sure that in your includes/configure.php file your http_cookie_domain reads just 'www.yourdomain.com' - or your ip address if you use that.

 

Try leaving both the https_cookie_domain and https_cookie_path blank - and this may resolve your problem.

The secure address is: https://host.totera.com/wanderingangus/catalog/

The IP address is: http://65.109.231.43/catalog/

 

Any idea what's causing this issue to happen? This forum is very hard to navigate. I can't find other topics I've posted. I don't know if Vger is responding to me or divinenlightenment..

 

Anyhow, I really need to solve this problem. I did once, but now I can't find the forum that had the answer, and I can't figure out why it started happening again.

 

Thanks,

Frank

Post your configure.php file minus the database info.

Matti,

 

That did the trick. Thank you!

 

Any idea if my client could have made a change in the "file manager" that caused this problem?

Make the admin/file_manager.php file have permissions of 400 (read only) and then your customer won't be able to use it to edit files using the File Manager at all - unless they know how to reset permissions!

If they couldn't use the File Manager, how would they change the 'shipping/return information' etc?
