shopping cart session problem?

[ladyadore]

Hi, I'm currently using the latest WP Ecommerce plugin, however when I tried to make purchase, it would direct me to "page not found".

But the funny thing is on my admin panel I can see the purchase order.

Is it a session issue? I saw somewhere that u have to place a code in the htaccess file to indicate where to save the sessions. Are there extra codings to be made? Or is it another issue altogether?

help is appreciated.

I would say it's another issue myself, perhaps with the .htaccess if it implements mod_rewrite to redirect about

[ladyadore]

thanks mtp for your reply.

is there any way to solve it?

*add-on: this is my current coding in my .htaccess file

# BEGIN WordPress
php_value session.save_path "php_value session.save_path "/home/username/tmp"
# END WordPress



for this <php_value session.save_path "/home/username/tmp"> i'm just using an example from mtp's previous post

Don't use that snippet, that's for in-script setting of the path on the fly (eg. forum sessions go here, blog here, etc...)

You would use: php_value session.save_path "/home/vol#/yourusername/htdocs/sessions"

However this would require you to do your own garbage collection (otherwise sesssions will never be deleted) especially if your script does not handle it. Plus, vol#, yourusername and perhaps the /htdocs/sessions will need modified to the proper path down to that .htaccess and folder

yap mtp, its in that format that u have just replied. just that i'm using the previous one as a rough example.

so in this case, i shall remove the snippet altogther? or send a ticket?

I don't think it has to do with sessions though, it's a 404 meaning its going somewhere and that somewhere is not there... what's your URL?

Well after much research on this particular module, it's one of those modules full of bug reports with no definitive support or help available officially and it seems to be well known that while it may work for X people it gives issues to Y others.

It's a YMMV plugin.

Best recommendation, consider using an alternative or use an actual commerce script and the blog as a front end site.

[ladyadore]

ymmv?

thanks for the recommendation.

add-on:

is it a load balancing issue? or the php.ini file needs to be set up properly?

[mtp_admin]

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary

In regards to load balancing or php.ini, I don't think so... there's a bug report over a year old with the same issue on their site and no fix.
