my account, and checkout failure...

I think theese were working OK after initial install, but can't remember for sure.

Yesturday I asked about this because it happened to me, when you click on Checkout, or My account, the page could not be found.

 

I've fixed it for me now though, but I don't know if it would work for you because you said it was working before.

 

Did you ever get an error come up after installing the program that there was no /tmp directory? There are a lot of posts here saying to fix that you just change /tmp to just tmp in the admin. Anyway, that is what I did, I changed it from /tmp to just tmp on my first installation and as soon as I did that, I had page nnot found coming up on checkout and my account links.

 

At the time I didn't know that the tmp thing was linked to my checkout and account pages not working, so I just decided to reinstall the OSC and try again, this time delving further into the this forum, searching, to make sure I do everything properly. I found that you shouldn't change the /tmp to just tmp as its insecure (or something like that), instead you just put "mysql" in a file which out the top of my head I can't remember. But by doing this it got rid of the tmp error and my Checkout and Account links work perfectly.

 

You may of done it this way anyway, but if you haven't, it worked for me. I don't know whether you would need to reinstall, maybe just channging the tmp back to /tmp and put the mysql text in one of the files might just do it. I can't remember the file you need to edit, but i remember searching the forums yesturday and found the thread about it on the 1st results page with the search text "tmp" or "/tmp", i think the author was alan someone. I hope you get it fixed,let us know!
