As of version 2.2.0, Squirrelcart's installation script will test sessions for you and report problems if they are found. If you need to test sessions after Squirrelcart is already installed, follow the instructions below.
Squirrelcart uses PHP's built in session management in order to keep track of what is in your cart, and your login. If Session Management is not working properly, Squirrelcart cannot function. To test sessions, open the diag_session.php file in your browser. The file is located inside your squirrelcart folder. The normal URL would be similar to:
http://www.example.com/squirrelcart/diag_session.php
You should see the following:
Session test file for Squirrelcart.
- Waking up session
- The counter is now 1
Refresh the page. You should now see something similar to this:
Session test file for Squirrelcart.
- Waking up session 9471fda174d46f902d858543f6b5c77e
- The counter is now 2
Keep refreshing the page, and each time, you should see the counter increment by 1. If it does not, then sessions are not working. If you have a problem with sessions, you will need to contact your web host for resolution before you can use Squirrelcart.
