eShop Plugin shopping cart keeps emptying

Ok, I have made a little progress on this, without any help from fatcow. I added the following to my php.ini file

session_save_path(“your home directory path”/cgi-bin/tmp);
session_start();

Sessions are now working, i can add items to the cart, however sometimes it drops items, sometimes it doesn’t add, other times i can empty the cart and then add another itme and all of the old items appear again. It’s pretty much hit or miss.

Any idea why the sessions are getting mixed up? I don’t expect any hlep from fatcow.

I don’t – it is obviously a session issue – and not much I can do to help sadly.

I am also facing the same problem…..

I am using shopp plugin 1.0.6 and created login part for wholesalers in themes.i used sessions there and when i added session to shopp/core/model/product.php, view cart doesnt show the cart, what i added…Pls let me know what is the problem??

but shopp plugin is not eShop – whole different thing altogether.

I encountered the same issue with WP, eShop & Fat Cow. The info from eq2bum above is good and FatCow has info here: https://www.fatcow.com/knowledgebase/read_article.bml?kbid=600;keywords=php

I added

session_save_path('/home/users/web/b###/moo.#######/cgi-bin/tmp');
session_start();

to the beginning of eshopwidget.php (which is loaded on every page of my cart), and the sessions seem to be working so far.

my “fix” stated above is no longer working with the newest version of eshop.

i have tried all this above stuff. even had the live chat specialist at fatcow edit my php.ini (i checked it even) but still no go.

What are some specifics i can tell the chat specialist on what’s wrong and how to go about fixing it?

is there another free plug in for listing products on wordpress that DOES work with fatcow hosting? any ideas of places to start looking?

down & out

try a different cart, or move hosting companies. Sounds like their setup is a bit unusual – sorry.
