Grant7 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Hi, I have recently built 2 different sites using oscommerce. The second one was going to be much the same as the first in terms of structure, shipping and payment options etc so I copied the first site to the second site's hosting plan and customized it from there to make the second website. These two websites are located on the same hosting server. Each website has its own hosting plan and they both have the same IP address. The problem I have noticed is that occasionally the category menu for the first website shows as the category menu for the second website and vice versa. This also happens for the manufacturers dropdown menu - it shows the manufacturers of the wrong website. I think I only see this because I have viewed both websites in my web browser (firefox), and the cookies for both have been stored, but I am concerned that other people may be seeing this which would not be good. Is there a solution to this issue? Thanks to anyone who can help. Cheers, Grant

germ Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Seeing one store's categories in another store on the same server can also mean they're sharing the same cache. You can set "Use Cache" to false in the Admin (save it) or alter your configuration to use a private cache. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

spooks Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Set up your own cache instead of useing the shared tmp 1. Create a folder in your root directory(public html) called my_cache. Set 755 permission on that folder. 2. In your osc admin panel set cache to true 3. In your cache directory insert this /home/my_site/public_html/my_cache/ Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it.

Grant7 Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks very much to all for your comments. For the record I used "spooks" method of naming a new cache folder. Cheers! Grant
