Okay, forget about the paypal, it's nothing to do with that..
If I go from my shop to paypal, and just click cancel and return to shop, I am logged out, so it's obviously an internal oscommerce setting, but I have no idea what. Using v2.3.1. My sister who has used oscommerce for years and is running 2.2 and is very computer literate has no idea what wrong, so if someone could please post an abc... I am totally new to computer shopping carts so please treat me like a total novice. Thank you.
Jack.

Hi,
may be with your http (cookie) settings in catalog/includes/configure.php is something wrong.
Then osCOmmerce cant use cookies and send the sessionId with every URL. But that dont work when you leave the page to paypal ant then comming back. So you get a new session id and the cart is empty.
Show us your configure.php. But only the first lines till DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG. We dont need your database password [img]http://forums.oscommerce.com//public/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif[/img])

You can't link back to a session from another non-osc page unless you retain the session id (ie. code the interface). A simple link like "www.yoursite.com" will always lose your session, forcing you to logon again.
Fixing this requires coding an interface between the two sites: not trivial, but Paypal does let you do it...you need to check the Paypal API documentation for how to do this - warning, it can be complicated to get going.
I don't understand why tomcat4x needs the configure.php file. Don't send it till you know why.

OSC User Definitions
"I can add modules to OSC" = I can search, cut and paste. But not well, or I wouldn't be here.
"I start my posting with 'works like a charm' = I'm letting you down gently, nothing works and I have no idea why
"I finish postings with "plzzzz....hlp" = My installation is buggered and I know I'm going to have to pay someone, but I really, really don't want to.

I asked him for the first lines of the first lines of the configure.php obviously has problems with setting the cookies.
So i don't understand you, what's the problem by sending the first lines of his configure.php.
If he fix the problem with paypal, what is with the next payment module?
Why shold he do some complicated things, like share a session between two servers, when the problem may be solved for all payment modules in his own configuration?
