Download and open both /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php in a text editor and set:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

(its at the bottom of each file)

 

Upload the files to your server :)

I looked at both files and they already seems to be set that way and im not able to fix it and wondered if you had any other ideas?

I have the same problem, does the

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

have to be the last text on the page, as mine reads this...

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

?>

A question to both of you. What hosting company are you with?

 

I believe your problem may be that both of your ISPs have safe_mode set to ON and it is interferring with the fuctioning of (all or part of) the script.

 

You may want to get in touch with your ISP(s) and ask them if they would turn it off on the server you're hosted on or move you to a server where it's already set to OFF (some places have servers set up both ways). I wouldn't hold out too much hope though as some Providers see having it set to OFF as an unacceptable security risk (which, of course, it isn't.

Go to your osCommerce admin panel --> Configuration --> Sessions and set the session path to just tmp with no slash before or after tmp. That will solve the problem.
