Recreate Session & Shared SSL.

[gaffettape]

Hello,

On my 1.3.8a Zen Cart I have a known problem with the recreate session function occasionally not working properly when using a shared SSL (as I am).

I noticed a few changes in the 1.3.9b includes/functions/sessions.php so was wondering if the Devs had fixed this problem in the new latest version?... if so how easy would it be to implement these changes in my 1.3.8a cart?

p.s yes I know I should update to really fix this problem etc. but I really don't have the time at the moment

Thanks

I have not had a problem on shared SSL and Recreate Session that wasn't an issue with the hosting provider ...

Have you tried a demo setup of v1.3.9b to see if it works better with your hosting provider?

Afraid not, I haven't really got the time to work on a new version yet

I made a brand new setup with a shared SSL and it doesnt work. No stylesheet for regular customers and page notfound when trying to access /admin.

When i make it 'false' it works fine. So I dunno.

But my store using 1.3.8a works perfectly w/ the shared ssl.

Are you using SEO/rewrites on your site?

Are you using SEO/rewrites on your Live working site?

Is the demo site in a subdirectory on the same domain as the Live Working site?

If you add an .htaccess site to your test site for:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine Off

does it start working?

No idea what either are so i'd assume no.

Is the demo site in a subdirectory on the same domain as the Live Working site?

My test site is in the same directory as my live store. Ie: one is site.com/store (working store). test store is site.com/sitetest123

Ajeh,

Since removing an SEO URL module I had previously installed the initial problem I had with recreate sessions and customer login here has been fixed.

However a new problem has shown up... The visitors cart is not working and zen cart is not remembering what was in the visitors cart.

For instance if I add a product to the cart as a visitor then close the browser (IE8 for testing purposes) then re open IE and visit my site, the visitors cart is empty

How can I find out what's going wrong here? nothing is showing up in the cache (debugging is on)

Thanks.

If I come in as a guest, and add to my cart ... then leave ... when I come back there will be nothing in my cart as nothing was saved ...

If I come in as a guest, and add to my cart ... and login BEFORE I leave ... if I come back, and login, the products will be in my cart ...

Whoops, Ok now I understand - I misunderstood that in the past as I thought guest carts were reloaded on next visit/session.

Sorry for any time wasted everyone
