New install - add to cart not functioning & log-in

[Tiff13]

Hi There,

 

I'm running my osCommerce 2.2rc2a store on WAMP localhost. Everything seems to be fine expect when i go to add items to cart, it takes me to the cart but gives message "Your shopping cart is empty". I've tried steps in both IE and FireFox same results. Also account log-in not working returns to Welcome Guest do you want to log-in.??

 

I've looked through all the installation guides and made sure products are in stock, store configured. But I am missing something obviously.

 

I use dreamweaver to edit my PHP files. My WAMP is using PHP 5.3 and MySql 5.1.36 is there some extension I need to activate?? I did install the PHP5.3 add-on and STSv4.6.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd do a clean install and check the bits that don't work are OK, if they do work it is the changes you have made and a trawl through the support thread for that contribution could help.

Same problem here. Have been on the web in search for answers. No luck yet.

The install is clean (just did it), everything is running in localhost, didn't try any fancy SSL stuff. Just installed OSC and can't log customers in (the entry is in the customers table in the database though) and can't add anything to the cart (no entry in the table for that one).

Tried to make cookies mandatory, and it keeps asking me for cookies to be enabled - did it through firefox menus, didn't change a thing.

Running LAMP

PHP 5.3.2

mysql 5.1

no module, no add-on

Help appreciated.

 

Thanks

Cookies cannot be set if you use localhost in the configure.php files. If you use 127.0.0.1 instead it will work (cookies need at least one dot in the domain).

It kind of solves everything. Login and cart are working perfectly.

 

Thanks mate.

Darn that didn't work for me. I did a completely new install with database and without any added modules or templates and still not working...

 

Is this correct for the cookies: Do I need to add Cookie to Admin/Includes/Configure.php ?

Please correct your config with the following:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://127.0.0.1');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://127.0.0.1');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '127.0.0.1');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '127.0.0.1');

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

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

This will do the trick if you use localhost
