Yes, things work fine with SSL set to false...I can get right thru the ordering process.

Well that seems to narrow the problem to something with your SSL configuration. May want to talk to your host about why PHP might have problems with "sessions" working accurately between the shared-SSL and your main domain.

Thanks, I don't really understand this but will take it up with my ISP...

I think my problem is similar, but I'm really not sure.

I've made two user accounts now to test my store with, and neither of them can actually log in. It doesn't refuse the password or anything, it just sends you back to the "Welcome Gues (log in)" page after a seemingly successful login attempt.

This, combined with the fact that you can't buy anything without an account via zencart, means nobody can buy anything from the shop.

Which isn't an issue yet, since there's only dummy products there, but I figure it's an important feature for when it does go live.

1. what version of PHP?
2. version of zen cart?
3. what hosting platform? windows vs linux
4. what version of iis/apache?
5. who is your host?
6. do you have any firewall software or cookie blocking software active?
7. have you changed any default settings in Admin->Configuration->Sessions?

[bobgorila]

Sorry, that was pretty dense of me.

1. PHP 5.0.18
2. Zencart 1.3.0.1
3. Linux 2.4.29
4. Apache 1.3.33
5. Dreamhost
6. no
7. no, though I'm going to prod it now and see what happens

From reading around, it seems that an idea might be to try it with php4, though that would mess up the mediaWiki I have installed. Does ZenCart 1.3.0.2 have any bugfixes beyond security?

[DrByte]

Zen Cart v1.3.0.2 has bugfixes in it related to session handling esp related to working around a PHP 5 bug.
The only patch to v1.3.0.2 is the security fix, at this point.

[bobgorila]

Upgrading to 1.3.0.2 seems to have fixed it, which is nice. Thanks for suggesting it.

It's odd that dreamhost's automated installer would have an older version, they're normally very prompt.
