Issue with user information

Hi Guys,

 

This is my fisrt time post dont have much experience as of yet but hope to gain some from you all.

 

Im having a major problem with my site.

 

 

When users login they sometimes see another users account information. I have never been able to reproduce this myself, but many customers say it is happening. There were even a few orders posted that had the wrong account associated with the order when this happens it seems the new account created has dissappeared and the order has gone to the last user account which was logged in.

 

The sales are suffering because of this, as I expect it is a real security confidence killer.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

Regards

In admin >> Configuration >> Sessions, try turning on Recreate Session (i.e. set it to true). Make sure that Prevent Spider Sessions is set to true. The normal cause of this is that multiple people are using the same URL with a hard coded session ID. This can be caused by a search engine spidering URLs with the session ID in them.

 

Another thing to check is that your COOKIE settings are correct in includes/configure.php

Always back up before making changes.

Did you fix this? We started experiencing the same exact problem.

Any input would be greatly appreciated - new too.
