problem with oscommerce

[yungpot]

I'm experiencing some big problems. My oscommerce, every time I log in and click on my account or check out, it asks me to login again. It does this over and over again. Any ideas?

Most likely your cookie settings in catalog/includes/configure.php are incorrect.

Basically, if your http and https paths for your domain have a trailing slash at the end, then the cookie paths in the file mentioned above should look like this

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

 

If your domain name doesn't have a trailing slash at the end, then the cookie path should look like this

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

 

Hope this helps - Vger

HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER paths in the osCommerce should not have trailing slashes :blink:

Whyever not? Especially as they work fine with them, provided that other pathways 'slashes' match. I have sites with http and https with trailing slashes, and sites without them, all work okay. I note that you're a 'Team Member' so if there's a sound reason as to why what I am doing is wrong then I'd like to know. Many Thanks Vger :D

[yungpot]

i'm really sorry. this still isnt working. can you please take a look at my configure.php? thanks a lot!

didnt work. :( is there something i should do in admin configure?

[yungpot]

any more ideas? because if not, im gona have to redo the ENTIRE thing, with all the mods and such

[AlanR]

What version are you running? I see a missing line in the config file if it's 2.2MS2

[yungpot]

Yea, I'm running the newest oscommerce, what file am i missing?

[yungpot]

any takers?

[Guest]

Just for the heck of it in configure.php change this line:

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

to:

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

[yungpot]

didnt work =( i dont think its configure.php

[♥Vger]

Take a look at this

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', ' /home/tycscf8/public_html/cart/catalog/ ');

 

Try something like

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/cart/catalog/');

 

Really depends on the setup your host provides - ask them for the file pathway, or go to their support section and see if they quote it there.
