Empty Basket - Can't login

[gonzaloamigo]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup my site. I added categories and products and everything goes fine.
I just have two problems at this point:
1- When clicking on 'Buy Now' and 'Add to basket' i get to the cart page but says 'Your Shopping Cart is empty!'. So it's not adding products to the cart.
2- I created an account. The account is in the database but when i try to Log In, i get to the main page but I'm not logged in.

I don't know what info do you need to help with this. I copy here my configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost:8888');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://localhost:8888');
define('ENABLE_SSL', false);
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'localhost');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'localhost');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/catalog/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');


// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'admin');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'admin');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'vinos_arg_db');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

I'm working on OSX with MAMP on local.

Thanks in advace guy

Hi again,
I just posted a thread saying that i had problems adding products to the cart and logging in. Looks like the problem only occurs on Firefox. I used Safari and everything works fine. Is there any way to make it work on Firefox?

Thanks a lot

Hi,
I'm just refreshing the topic. I'm lost and i can't find a solution. I would really appreciate some help. I tried with IE for OSX and it doesn't work either.

Thanks again

This usually means a setup problem with sessions, cookie domain or other configure.php setting. With such little info provided by you, that is about as specific as anyone can get.

[gonzaloamigo]

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I don't know what info do you need to be more specific.
Looks like anything that has to do with sessions doesn't work on IE or Firefox but works on Safari. Do you think it can be related to files or folders rights?
I can provide the information you need, i just need to know what to provide.

Thanks again.

Gonzalo

I had a similar problem when using MOWES (some portable WAMP) and oscmax beta 2.5. When I switched to XAMPP, those problems did not turn up. I can reproduce the behaviour with Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox, but didn't check with Safari.

So, all I want to say with my nonexisting knowledge about Apache that this might be an server settings issue...

[gonzaloamigo]

I just wanted to add that i'm working on a complete fresh install. I just added one category and one product to test. Didn't change anything. Tried with OSCMax 2.0.25 and 2.5 and got the same results.

Thanks

Since it happens on both 2.0.25 and 2.5, I would have to say it is a quirk with the MOWES apache or php configuration causing the issue. I am not familiar with that wamp setup. Crank up error reporting to 'debug' to see if you can find any warnings or notices that php and apache are generating in regards to your store.

That may give you something to go on.

Your configure.php is showing you are storing sessions in mysql, so that should eliminate sessions issues like this. I would monitor your sessions table while you are adding items to your cart to see if the session is being switched when adding items to the cart (or check your session ID in the url bar of the browser).

Easier solution: switch from mowes to xampp. done.

Hi again,
I switched to XAMPP but i have the same problem. I checked the the session table and the browser address bar.
On Firefox it creates a new session each time i click on a link or a button, and even two sessions when clicking 'Buy Now' or 'Add to basket'
and this is the kind of address that is shown:
http://localhost/catalog/index.php?c...e7fc6762cc03d1

On Safari, it creates only one session on connecting and the address shown is like this:
http://localhost/catalog/shopping_cart.php
No session info shown

Is this helpful?

Thanks again
