Thank you to whomever might be able to help.
I am a first-time installer. I'm looking for a simple shopping cart to replace the buttons I've been using that were provided by PayPal. I had hoped to install Zencart to evaluate it. I'm not having much luck.
I’m running (or trying to run) Zen Cart version 1.5.8a
The first problem: the https://www.dans.com/zencart/ page and the https://www.dans.com/zencart/zcadmin page both gave me a 500 error. I bumped php down from version 8.2.12 down to 8.0.30, and then they started working (or so I thought).
The admin page login doesn’t work. Like I found on "Royal Dave's" ticket, it’s in the “loop of death”. I attempt to login, and it appears as though the login page is just refreshing, and I’m prompted to log in again.
Royal Dave's similarly titled ticket that described what I had hoped was the same problem:
https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....doesn%27t+work I followed along, and checked my php.ini, and I’ve got session.use_cookies set to 1. I must have a different issue.
Then I found this good article in the Zen cart documentation:
https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/troub...ng/cant_login/
I made certain that I was using www. I temporarily re-named the htaccess file to something else, with no success. I cleared my browser cache and all cookies. I’m not seeing any errors in a server log (although as a newbie, I am not certain that I am in the correct log, or where that might even be). I’ve tried three different browsers.
I did find that I needed to update lines 17 and 22 of zencart/includes/configure.php and lines 16,32,33 and 38 of zencart/zcadmin/includes/configure.php to call out SSL, but these updates still didn’t fix the issue.
Side note, those configure.php files have lines that look like this:
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://dans.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://dans.com');
Maybe I need the www in them?
I went to phpMyAdmin and looked in the admin table. Admin is there, listed as a user, last_login_ip is blank, failed_logins os 0 and last_failed_ip is blank, so I don’t think there’s a problem there.
I’m grateful to anyone who can offer a suggestion.
