My shopping cart disappears, or doesn't clear out properly when going from non-secure to the secure server - what's wrong?

Last updated: 06/24/2009

This seems to happen as a problem with php sessions or cookies. I solved this (but no guarantees) by doing the following:

Added these lines to index.php , and checkout.php


ini_set("session.cookie_domain",".abc.com");
ini_set("session.cookie_path","/");
ini_set("session.cookie_secure","On");

I *believe* this is making the session information more "universal" to the scripts, so they can see everything across SSL / nonSSL links.
Anyway, it worked for me.
