I just installed osCommerce and I'm getting data in the 'categories' box from someone else's database! When I click on the link, it takes me to their site. I looked in the bug reports for osc and other people seem to be having related problems, but I didn't see a fix. I just wanted to see if anyone on PowWeb was having that problem. My first guess is that it's related to global variables.

You'll need to go into the admin section and turn off caching. Caching uses the servers /tmp dir to store information for faster retrieval. In a shared environment, you get a other users' cache in there at the same time and cross over.

Yeah, I guess that would create a problem! :O) Thanks! I'll point it to a local tmp dir.
