Not displaying user name or shopping cart

[rydawg]

Hi i am just finishing my first oscommerce site but have a problem, it is not carrying over any of the credentials for shopping carts, usernames, etc.. The site is located at:

 

http://test1.moviepuppy.com

 

i.e.

 

try to login is as:

email: [email protected]

password: testing

 

it should say Welcome John!

it says Welcome! (*which means to me it is not carrying over any of the session values (%s))

also if you go to edit this account when the forms are displayed they are all blank..

 

i.e.

 

when you click on 'add to cart' it takes you to 'shopping cart is empty' although it should take you to checkout..(*this also tells me it's dropping the values for some reason?? ( %s)

 

I am beyond confused but feel that it's probably just a simple admin setting. If anyone could offer any help at all it would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

If you're on a shared server, make sure that in your admin tool, configuration/cache, "usa cache" is set to "false". THis should never be set to "true" on a shared server, in my opinion.

 

Then go to configuration/sessions. What values do you have there?

 

In mine, I have my directory /tmp/ , forcued cookie use false, check SSL session ID false, Check user agent false, check IP addy false, Prevent spider sessions true, and recreate sessions false.

I just checked and I have the identical setup as yours for cache and sessions and I am on a shared server as well.
