Items not adding to cart online

[gavk]

Hi guys,

 

I have installed osC 2.2RC locally and it all works fine with the shopping cart on my XAMPP server, however when I upload my site to an actual online server when I attempt to add something to the cart it by clicking the 'Add to Cart' button it simply redirects me to the shopping cart page without adding the items to the cart.

 

Any ideas on why it would do this as it strangely enough works fine locally on my testing machine??

 

Thanks in advance

check the cookies or session settings, as it's main issue with your problem

It is best to install the same osc version on the web, then upload all files except the two configure.php files (and then import the database if you if you have made changes). The php and mysql versions should be the same (or near enough).

 

There may be minor tweaking, depending on what else has been changed.

Hi guys,

 

I have done further debugging and the only difference between my localhost and online server is the localhost version which is working ok is on PHP5, while the online server is the older PHP4 version - would this make such a difference, if so does anyone have any further information that would help me fix the problem.

 

Thanks in advance

strange - works fine in php5, but not in php4.

 

Oh well i'll never be using an old php4 web host again :)
