    Default login create account looping - session.use_only_cookies

    Hi

    zen cart 1.5.5, php version 5.6.15

    I'm trying to get to the bottom of why the login create account function is looping. I've tried several things:

    turned off recreate sessions
    turned off ceon uri rewrite mod
    turned off FEC mod
    switched to default template

    non of these things made any difference. Login create account continued to loop. The looping issue isn't generating any error log files so I'm not getting any clue that way.

    Login for someone who already has an account works normally.

    In my search for a fix I came across this page:

    https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?270

    "your PHP configuration can't negotiate sessions properly- Your server's PHP configuration has session.use_only_cookies set to 1. It needs to be 0. Have your hosting company fix it."

    In cart admin > server information - it shows, session.use_only_cookies, is on. I assume that 'on' would = 1 and 'off' would = 0. Is that correct? I think it is but just want to clarify.

    I feel a little silly asking but before I ask host to turn off session.use_only_cookies I want to be sure I am correct in that assumption.

    thanks

    You might also ask your host if you can use a local copy of php.ini if they allow it
    Where you can set this to off and only for your account

    thanks, that's a good idea.


    When I try to create an account it loops back and shows this url

    index.php?main_page=login&error=true

    I don't understand why there's no error log

    Create a file named "php.ini" with this contents
    Code:
    [PHP]
    
    ; Whether to allow the treatment of URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as files.
    allow_url_fopen = Off
    Save it and upload it to the root of your account
    Then check in your ZenCart admin > tools > server/version info

    look for if there is a local setting for this listed

    This will indicate if your host allows local php.ini to function

    it is listed as allow_url_fopen - on
    Do you have a Local Value and a Master Value listed?

    no, there is not. allow_url_fopen - on is the only one in the list.

    Well then your host most likely does not allow a local ini file

    Finally got it sorted and the create account page is back in business. This is what happened if anyone is interested. The host adjusted the session.use_only_cookies for me but it made no difference, so back to the drawing board. After making umpteen admin Fast and Easy Checkout display adjustments the create account/login page finally displayed a warning that the recaptcha field had not been filled in. Recaptcha wasn't installed on the create account page but the recaptcha module observer file was looking for the captcha field on the create account page which is why the create account page couldn't proceed.

    /includes/classes/observers/class.google_recaptcha.php

    let's us comment out lines for specific page checking. never knew that. oh my gosh my eyes are falling out. lol
