We are getting a cart empty when checking out with the Chrome or Firefox browsers. It seems to be working fine in IE and Safari.
Any idea why?
Thanks |

Hi,
Have you checked that xmysite in shop$config.asp files are already set correctly? These files should be located in "config" and "admin/config" folders.
Hope this helps! |

Hi Venacity,
Did you check your cookie settings in your browsers?
When cookies aren''t accepted, the session values cannot be saved. Any ordered item will not be saved in the shopping cart.
Kind regards,

Yes, just confirmed that the browser is set to accept cookies.
Can you try on your end to see it you can add an item to the cart then "check out" or "I agree to the shipping terms" using Chrome. Does it clear your shopping cart? The site is www.thepartsplaceinc.com
Thanks Jeff |

Jeff,
I checked in Firefox and Chrome. Both worked fine at least until shopcreateorder.asp.
Delete your browser''s cache memory; it may sometimes display older page versions.

Erik, that did not work either, I cleared the cache on both browsers and tried other PCs. No Luck.

Hi venacity,
We have received your helpdesk ticket about this. However, we have tried your provided steps, and we are still unable to replicate the issue using Firefox and Chrome browser.
Perhaps the guys in forum here can share some hands for a test on their site if any of you can replicate or not?
Thanks VPASP ADMIN |

Hi Carfin,
Adding an item to the shopping cart will take you to the view cart page (shopaddtocart.asp). Then if you press the checkout or the "I agree to shipping terms" it takes you to the shoperror.asp page with the message "shopping cart is empty". this only happens with Firefox or chrome. works fine in ie and safari. Also not everyone is reporting this issue. it seems to only happen with certain people. We also notice that if you press the home button prior to adding an item to the cart this does not happen either. very strange!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

Venacity,
I''d suggest to check the session variables on every page in different browsers to see the possible differences.
To do so, insert the following sub routine in your shop$db.asp file (anywhere, at the end) :
''Display all values saved in session variables Sub displaySessionVariables htmlWrite "<! Session Variables - " & Session.Contents.Count & vbcrlf dim item, itemloop For Each item in Session.Contents If IsArray(Session(item)) then For itemloop = LBound(Session(item)) to UBound(Session(item)) htmlWrite item & " " & itemloop & " : " ''& Session(item)(itemloop) Next Else htmlWrite item & " : " & Session.Contents(item) End If Next htmlWrite "-->" & vbcrlf end sub
Then call displaySessionVariables at the very start of the shop$db.asp file. (after file includes).
When displaying a new page on your web site, check the source code; the sessions variables will show at the top of it. Compare with different browsers to see if there are any differences. Try on local server first.
I hope this will help you further.
Kind regards,
Erik www.aquathermia.com

Hi venacity,
I have tried with IE, Firefox and Chrome browsers and cannot replicate the empty cart issue. Were you logged in to your admin panel at the same time? This can cause conflict with the cart cookies. Could you make sure that you have logged out of your admin pages, and also log out of the website too in any browsers that you were using. Then start Chrome again, go to your site, don''t log in and then add an item to the cart.
Sorry I can''t be of any more help.

This is was resolved. the empty cart was caused by the transition from http to https. We addressed this be making the entire site https. Thanks to everyone who posted! |
