Empty cart when using SSL

[Jjdualan]

I'm trying to move a store from one server to another. The store has been running fine for several years now. Last night I moved the files and the database onto a new server and everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to checkout. After clicking checkout and signing in, I get a page that says that the cart is empty. If I click to see the contents of the shopping cart, there are still items in there. I tried turning SSL off and was able to get through to the payment info page.

 

I did not set up the original store but believe they used the MS1 release. I looked for the configuration->session area in admin but it doesn't exist. Also, there is no mention of cookies in the configuration.php file.

 

Here is a copy of its contents:

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

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

$dbserver="xxxxx";

$dbuser="xxxxx";

$dbpass="xxxxx";

$dbname="xxxxx";

$db_connect=mysql_connect("$dbserver","$dbuser","$dbpass");

mysql_select_db ($dbname);

?>

 

The problem seems to happen when I switch the hostname to the real hostname. When it's define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://s12693.gridserver.com'); it works but when I switch over the DNS server to point to the real name and change the setting to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.havaianasus.com'); and also for the HTTPS_SERVER it stops working.

 

Any ideas?
