Session ID not showing up

[Stephan (VS)]

Hi, sorry to post about this but all the forum searches and googling I keep getting posts about people wanting to remove it. <_<

 

My problem is that after I uploaded my site from my local wamp server to and online Linux host the Session ID is not showing up in the Web-Adrress.

 

My hosting company says:

"What you need here is ModRewrite to change your url.

Please see below link for help to set up ModRewrite:

http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/ultimate...mple.html"

 

All I can figure out is that I propably need to edit my .htaccess file or edit the apache server's settings but I still relatively new to this and I'm still a bit clueless.

 

Can someone please point me in the right direction or explain what I'm missing? :blink:

 

I havent jet put any security onto the site so the catalog/admin .htaccess files are stille pretty much brand new.

On the first click i see the osCsid in the URL

After the 2nd (or 3rd) click it's not there anymore.

Which in my experience is standard osCommerce behaviour.

...and it's a security issue to hide osCsid from URL I think. But if you need the session id, use the functions tep_session_xxx() -> i.e. tep_session_id()
