Guest Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Having this problem. Can you help me? Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You have not run the SQL statement as outlined in the instructions. Also you will need to edit your catalog/admin/includes/laungauge/english/whos_online.php file to fix the Lights definitions. It should look something like this: Active with Cart Inactive with Cart Active No Cart Inactive No Cart Active Session Bot? Inactive Session Bot?

Guest Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 is there a specific place in the SQl statement for this? ALTER TABLE whos_online ADD http_referer VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL; Goes in the end, after Table structure for table `whos_online` or Dumping data for table `whos_online`? Sorry for the questions but i really don't understand this and i belive this is a powerfull tool. thiis is what the error looks like now.

Then just highlight and copy text as in the instructions. Go to the databsae in phpMyAdmin Then over on the right hand section click on SQL. Paste the copied line into there, leave everything at the set default/s. Click the Go button just below the text input field. The go to the whos_online table and chack that it has entered the field "http_referer". The SQL statement you are pasting in defines exactly what it is supposed to do and where. There should be no problems, but if there is, that's why you backed up the database, Right! Hope this helps. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thdt98 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) Is there anybody who managed to have the cart working with the sessions in files instead of mySql ? For me, saving them in files is much faster. Thanks Edited May 7, 2005 by thdt98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Thierry, Yes. I use files and it works fine for me. ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Me too. Works fine. I think also sometimes when you first set the sessions to Files you need to give it some time for it to settle in possibly even a day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had less problems with various contributions doing it that way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> PopTheTop Whilst some contribs may work that way (I have not come across any personally) I currently run over 100 contribs on my shop plus a large number of my own tweaks and it is almost totally working without hicup and runs at least[/] twice as fast as what it was when storing to Mysql. I ran Mysql sessions for over 6 months before I even realised there was an option and always complained at least to myself that it was slow and after trying the files for a while but changing back because of this contrib playing pranks on us (see previouse posts by a number of people) I thought I would give file sessions another go again only just a few weeks ago, I will now never go back to Mysql sessions. The speed difference is very much measurable. So my recommendation to anyone nowdays is set the sessions to store to files. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thdt98 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I think I found my problem. It is with the session folder. I guess whos on line cannot find it. My session folder is set up as /tmp (setup in the Sessions section in Configuration section) I notice if I want to see what's inside this folder I cannot see anything. I use either SSH or FTP connection. Anybody to help me to debug this ? I have to say that my site works fine therefore the sessions should work but how and where that is the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thdt98 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Still researching where the problem lies!!!! I am with 1and1 as a hosting system. Eventhough it is the professionnal package it seems that all sessions are stored somewhere in their system and it is not possible to have access to them. It explains why the /tmp is empty. The only way according to them (their customer service is pretty useless some time, people there do not know what there are talking about) is to record them in the database which I do not want, question of speed. Any ideas about it ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thdt98 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I found why the /tmp was empty. I declared /temp but in fact in mycase I have to declare the full root, I have seen something about it in the other pages too. (useless 1and1) Now I have the /tmp full with sessions but still no cart. I will continue then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thdt98 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I set it up directly in the root folder as I do not have a catalog folder Directory: /homepages/xx/xxxxxx/htdocs/tmp/ Would it be better to put it in the admin folder ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopTheTop Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I just found something else new... The Profile display never did work. It never showed anything when you clicked on any of the 4 link options. Today, I deleted the session ID from the address bar and IT NOW WORKS! Wow! But each time I click on those links, I get the session ID added to the address bar and they do not work until I manually delete it. From: http://www.popthetop.com/catalog/admin/who...gsf67d86hs9hd58 To this: http://www.popthetop.com/catalog/admin/who...ine.php?showAll Any ideas on this?

thdt98 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) I went back to 1.36 and 1.4 version and there I can see the Shopping Cart without any problem. ?????? Why???? Edited May 7, 2005 by thdt98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Create a directory under/before htdocs or public_html (which ever you use) idealy called: sessions. (This for security reason as well) Then change the permissions to 777 Then change the settings in the cart Admin (Configuration/Sessions) to the path eg: /home/yourusername/sessions After you first change this you may need to do a complete browser refresh by pressing CTRL-R and all shouls now be working. See how that all works. Works great for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thdt98 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Still got problem I found that I have problem with : line 64 if ( (file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG . tep_session_save_path() . '/sess_' . $session_id)) && (filesize(DIR_FS_CATALOG . tep_session_save_path() . '/sess_' . $session_id) > 0) ) { $session_data = file(DIR_FS_CATALOG . tep_session_save_path() .

'/sess_' . $info); For my case DIR_FS_CATALOG is redundant as tep_session_save_path has already the right path. I tried to remove it but I have got a problem such an error message with footer.php in line 39, DIR_WS_IMAGES is missing and time to time I have an error 1064 if the customer cart is full. Light status does not really work. With the version 1.52 everything is alright. I created my file tmp as recommended but not in the admin, should I do it ? I did a little modification to signal clearly if a customer has put something in his cart by putting in red his name. Is it any interresting ?

PopTheTop Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 This is annoying to me, everytime I log into the Admin or go to my site, Who's Online lists myself and sometimes it will list me 2 or 3 times.

thdt98 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 My admin has got 3 languages: english, japanese and french. I noticed if I click on Referer Url the system change automaticaly the language according the provenance of the customer which is rather annoying. For instance: you are set in english and you click on a japanese URL you have everything in japanese which is not really what I want. I want to stay in the language that I set up to start with. To eliminate an IP maybe you can look at the Visitors Contribution how they did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it any interresting ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think for this you are getting 2 things confused. There is a "cache" directory and a "sessions" directory. Both are used for completely different reasons. Please try the instructions I posted above. Also the Cache directory idealy should be set with the same sort of instructions a the sessions directory but it can be in the catalog or catalog/admin directory. It should be addressed like so, /home/yourusername/public_html/shop/cache/ in the Admin section under Configuration-Cache. the reason as stated above for the session directory to be stored under the public_html (or htdocs) is for security and also if you do not specify the directory properly and your on a shared server (most people are) if anyone else has a cart your sessions and/or cache will get mixed up with theirs and vice versa. Set this stuff first and you will know at least that is correct and then you can move forward, otherwise you are mearly waisting your time.

But seeing your self a couple of times would generally indicate to me that you have a couple of instances of the broswer open, either way if you do not touch the retail side of the cart it should eventually time your session out and you should not be able to see yourself there any longer.
