Guest Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 I have no idea what happened but my admin page comes up blank even after entering the correct username and password. The last thing I remember trying was to use cookies and force them on to try and correct a problem where the shopping cart was "remembering" past products put in the cart by other visitors. I notice that now when I try to make a purchase it tells me my cookies are not enabled even though I know they are. I tried editing configure.php with different settings for the cookies but no luck. Any idea how to turn off force cookie if I can't even get to my admin page? Thanks

My store is in root, so you may need to modify these to your settings - so the followig is examples only Check you configure.php files in /catalog/includes/ define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.memorylaneprimitives.com'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.memorylaneprimitives.com'); // next line was originally /catalog/ if your store is not in root put this to something similar define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); This may not be your problem with the admin, but with the cookie_usage message My Contributions Henry Smith
Guest Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Thanks for the response! I have the configure.php setup correctly. I really need to just turn cookies off for now. How can I do that if I cant get to the admin page? Thanks If you are forcing cookies, you need to make sure you cookie domains are set correctly.

♥Vger Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 It's not Force Cookie Use that is preventing you from getting into your 'admin' panel. It's just a guess but read the '$this in uploads.php' link below my name. If it's not that then there may an error in your admin/includes/configure.php file, or even a problem with file permissions in admin. Vger
Guest Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Well that fixed the one problem of getting to the admin page. But, now the admin page seems scrambled not showing the proper titles but listing the fieldnames. ARGH. :-) It's not Force Cookie Use that is preventing you from getting into your 'admin' panel.
