Admin product search bug?

[altenter]

Hi,
On RC3 install, when using the search box in categories.php (admin side), every time i search for a product i am redirected to the login page. It is not a session timeout issue, since it happens even if i just logged in.
Thanks for any input in how to solve this issue,
alt.

That does not mean it is not a session issue... I cannot reproduce it so how about some debug info? We cannot guess your problem, so are you storing sessions as files or in mysql? Have you made any (and I mean any) changes to the code? What OS? What webserver and version? What versions of php and mysql?

Thanks michael for your quick reply. (as always )
sessions are stored in db, mysql 4.1.21, php 4.4.4, running on linux with apache 1.3.7
some changes have been done in code, changed language and removed few tr's from categories.php to hide un-needed text fields.

thanks.

Ok,

I still am unable to reproduce this issue... Not sure what the problem could be. Have you tried deleting all browser cookies and clearing the cache? That is a start.

Also, verify that your path information is correct in the admin/includes/configure.php file.

One last question, are you using ssl or shared ssl in the admin panel?

[altenter]

browser cache is clean, and the issue happens on different pc's as well.
paths are correct in configure.php, and ssl and secure admin are not implemented yet.
another thing that might help is that if i use the back button, i am still logged in, so this issue does not actually end the session, but just redirects to the login page.
thanks.

That is really strange, especially as I cannot reproduce it at all. Perhaps I am not following your procedure exactly. Can you give me a step be step as to what you are doing?

Do you have a url and login that I can test (pm to me)?

[altenter]

Step by step:
in admin, when in categories.php, i enter any search term in the searchbox and press enter.
I am immediately redirected to login.php.
thanks.

thanks.

BUT I believe u left one thing out!!!
Only the first time though, once u log in the seciond time it works from then on, correct?


Yes i have this issue on one of my older installs too, im actually trying to go back and fix it, but now I cant find the fix in the bug tracker anymore.

It had something to do with the session ID
I fixed it on my new Default installing OSC Max (long time ago), but I do still have an example for you if u need to see it repeatable 100% of the time.
Pm me for login info


UPDATE:!!!!!!
GOT IT, LOVE THE SEARCH ON HERE!!!

this was an issue with oscadminid ..not any problem with versions of php as suspected first
doing the following should fix this problem

comment out the following from admin/includes/application_top.php

tep_session_name('osCAdminID');
tep_session_save_path(SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY);

/* comment following out
// set the session cookie parameters
if (function_exists('session_set_cookie_params')) {
session_set_cookie_params(0, DIR_WS_ADMIN);
} elseif (function_exists('ini_set')) {
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', '0');
ini_set('session.cookie_path', DIR_WS_ADMIN);
}*/

Thanks for posting the solution you found. I was having the same exact problem and its now working fine with the code commented out. I was starting to pull my hair out and frankly I don't have much to spare

Thanks!
