Are you using a custom php.ini?

Under the new setup, the sessions directory should be above the htdocs folder.

For the record, php.ini is a file that sets the configuration details for how PHP runs on the server. PowWeb has one installed, but we can (and are encouraged to) upload a customized one to our site to override some of their settings. I only mentioned this because the sessions issue is one of the primary motivating factors.

Glad you got it solved.

Thanks metalgear. I guess if I want to help, then I shouldn't be so lazy

actually there is a much simpler method to dealing with sessions and osc.

change the last line of the catalog/includes/config.php and catalog/admin/includes/config.php to this.

PHP Code:


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

?>

This will take care of the empty cart and wonky login problems. (if you are indeed using oscommerce)

thanks for posting this! I had a customer email me today saying they could not add something to their shopping cart and after fruitlessly searching on the oscommerce forums for an answer I came here and found this and it cured it !

on my older version (june 2003 2.2) the files needed to be changed are named configure.php not config.php.

thanks again for posting this, jade dragon!

configure.php is the newer name. The June 2003 edition you have is the latest released version.
