Han Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 OCS 2.2 working correctly on Opera, but not functioning well on IE 6: when putting product in shopping cart and then pushing "continue shopping", it shows empty cart. When "log in" and then "continue" - says "Welcome guest" and offer log in once more. So, totaly crazy. Brothers and sisters I know that many of you have the same problems. Did somebody find any solution?

Most switched to Linux or Mac OS X. ;) :lol: Sorry, I could not resist. :P OCS 2.2 working correctly on Opera, but not functioning well on IE 6:when putting product in shopping cart and then pushing "continue shopping", it shows empty cart.

I honestly have not heard of this problem before. Have you installed all of the security patches and updates for IE6 and WinXP? Do you have Force Cookies enabled in Admin ~ Configuration ~ Sessions but have IE set to disallow cookies? "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Han Posted September 1, 2003 Author Posted September 1, 2003 Thanks a lot for trying help me. I found where the problem was: I installed EasyPHP to my PC and possibly it used not fresh PHP version, so I changed to Uniformserver http://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserver/ and now osC working perfect.
Daemonj Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 I am glad to hear that you were able to resolve the problem. Thank you for posting the answer. I will certainly keep it in mind in case the question arises again. "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

When "log in" and then "continue" - says "Welcome guest" and offer log in once more. So, totaly crazy. BINGO! Thank you for mentioning this...I am having the same sort of problem. Mozilla (netscape 7) works great. But on MSIE (and I am running 5.0, a very old msie) if I log out or time out or the session ends for whatever reason then i have to close the browser else what you are describing happens. There was one time where I removed all temporary files and flushed the cache and I was able to log in again and see the cart. But all other tries since then need the browser to be closed first. Its very repeatable. I've seen the developers say 'yes, you have to close your browser". I can accept that. But, how to warn the customer to do so if he redirects to "Welcome Guest" page???? Do we need a session variable that says 'USED_TO_BE_LOGGED_IN_NOT_LOGGED_IN_NOW_SO_GIVE_A_WARNING"???? :) Surely the answer is already there and is just a matter of tuning the cart.
Guest Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 YAY!!!!!!! OK, I AM AN IDIOT. The developers will laugh at this. My cookie path for the NON-SECURE server was not identical to the cookie path for the SECURE server. Both have exactly the same URL and cookie domain. But the cookie paths MUST MATCH. The symptoms were masked by the fact that if I relaxed "force cookies" and all the other session settings then most browsers seemed to work A-OK. Except MSIE 5. I finally forced cookies again, setting everything to true in the admin sessions screen, and under these conditions started looking at cookie details - then I noticed the mismatch in configure.php. I've now tested with Mozilla 1.1, Opera, Konqueror, and MSIE 5.0, all work just fine.
