Login box is not reading a user as logged in

I have a live site and I have linda's login box, When a user logs in , it shows the user as logged in , but as soon as the user clicks on a product and it goes to a product page run by the "product_info.php" file or tries to checkout it send the user back to the login page telling the user he needs to login to checkout and the box shows the login fields instead of personal links for his/her account. Do you have any clue as to whats going on or whats not being stored correctly. Thanks for your help in advance.

 

note: is, this only occurs when you first go to the site, but if you logout and and log back in once you logged in correctly it wont give you the same problem

Jason,

 

Is this associated with a particular browser? Is it only happening when the customer first creates their account and then tries to make a purchase? Any more details would be helpful as I had a similar situation yesterday.

It happens in both Netscape and IE. I get this when a customer logs in on the default page it shows that the customer is logged in. When i click on any product it seems as if it loses the customers id or whatever track the customers login state. The login box goes back to the original state, which is login name and password. If I login twice the problem is corrected unitl you open a new browser and do the aforementioned steps.

ok thanks for , I changed that url , but it still gives me the error. This is what I did, the link that you posted is where my files for SSL are located. I put a redirect in there pointing to that file on the SSL side and then in the file that it went to I redirected to the NON SSL . I did this to get rid of the pop up box stating that "you are being redirected to a nonsecure location do you want to contine etc etc.. "

I have a redirect on that page to the default page. It should redirect you.

 

Clear you cache and try loading that same page again

Well, I figured out part of the problem.....your redirect only works if you have cookies enabled.

 

Ok, let's start at the beginning...Why are you having to go through those kinds of contortions to get the HTTPS working? How about posting your catalog/includes/configure.php Remove any passwords and database info.

The HTTPS works just fine its just when I installed the contribution Login Box

 

I wanted to get rid of the NONsecure pop up that resulted from switching between SSL and NON SSL pages. Do you think that by redirecting like that it causes some data loss. Becaus elike I said earlier if you login twice it works just fine .

Yes, the redirect is losing the session unless you have the cookies enabled.

 

Which version of Linda's Login box are you using? If you use 5.2 it should take care of the popup problem.

I am using I dont know the download versino but in my loginbox.php

 

it says its version 1.0 and it is the version that bypasses the security alert, but when I installed it I was still getting the alert
