Need Help - cart is empty loop

[thegifthaven]

Anytime a customer creates a new account or logs in when they have something in the cart it disappears and says the shopping cart is empty, also if you log in put something in the cart and try to check out the contents disappears and says your cart is empty. I have tried to figure this out and it is frustrating me to no end. And finally when you put something in the cart after logging in and checkout it takes you back to the log in screen.

 

If anyone would be kind aenough to give me a nudge in the right direction that would be great.

 

Im using 2.2 ms2 i believe.

the url is www.thegifthaven.com

 

here is my configure.php

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://thegifthaven.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://thegifth.startlogic.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '\www.thegifthaven.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '\thegifth.startlogic.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/Store/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/Store/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/Store/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/Store/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/thegifth/public_html/Store/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'thegifth.startlogicmysql.com'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'thegifth_p_os2');

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

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

?>

With shared SSL You should not have cookie creation to be allowed.

 

As when a visitor moves from NON SSL to SSL cookies are lost.

 

So set a wrong value for

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/Store/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/Store/');

 

like

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '\www.aaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxx.com');

I'd try these settings:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.thegifthaven.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.thegifth.startlogic.com');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

And also this:

 

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

If it works - GREAT!

 

If it doesn't you can always change it back.

 

It won't hurt anything to try.

Cookies will work with shared SSL.

 

A case in point:

 

Click Me

 

That being said, you can't set "Force Cookie Use" to true in your Admin using shared SSL.

 

Or so I've read.
