SSL-Problem: Some customers cannot reach checkout

[Cord]

I notice a strange problem in my otherwise perfectly working installation of osCommerce http://www.speedcomics.de:

 

Some customers complain that they cannot reach the checkout: They are on the page "shopping_cart.php" and hit the "Checkout"-Button. But instead of going on to "login.php" they are returned to the same page ("shopping_cart.php").

 

Unfortunately I could not reproduce the problems nor could I narrow it to a specific browser type or provider. I strongly suspect that it has something to to with the fact that a shared SSL-server is used so the SSL-pages (starting with "login.php") reside under another Domain.

 

Excerpt from "/includes/configure.php":

 

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.speedcomics.de');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ssl.kundenserver.de/tilsner.de/shop');
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

 

 

I use osC 2.2 MS1. MS2 has more advanced session hadling features and I suppose it would not display the same problems. Unfortunately due to heavy modifications updating to MS2 would be very difficult. I tried just updating the session handling functions by replacing "/includes/application_top.php", adding the database entries in tables "configuration" and "configuration_groups" and the additional functions in "/includes/functions/general.php" but could not quite make it fly. Would this in general be enough to add the advanced session handling features of MS2 or is there more involved?

 

Maybe there is some paper or thread which discusses the SSL/session topic in more detail? Any tipps, help or experiences about this problem and its possible causes would be greatly welcomed.

 

Best wishes,
