osCommerce logon

[bibleman]

Hi,

I have just switched over to oscommerce....

In the last two weeks I have gotten a number of Emails of people who say that they logon to the site (create a customer account that is) and then from then on....

they keep getting directed back to the sign in page when ever they click on anything else on the site.

Is this a cookie issue on their machine or is this due to me now having a secure site or is this a bug in osCommerce?

We get a lot of customers benig added but most of them do not palce orders. Wondering if they are getting thrown off!

Anyone experienced this problem? If so what did you do.

Thanks
Leon

are you on a shared hosting now? if so ,it could be the cookie domain paths in the configure.php

Thanks Arpit

I will check the cookies.

I also had a reply from someone who said that the Sessions did not work well with AOL users. So I may have to set most of them to false as well.

Thanks again

It seems that the Session portion of the Admin section must be configured correctly.

Config - Sessions

You can set your configure.php file to store sessions in the database or you can set a "sessions directory" if you are storing files in files.

Customers on aol cannot use your store with these all set to "True". The only two that can be set to "True" for aol users are "Force Cookie Use" and "Prevent Spider Sessions".
