Downlaod ID: 69a6966cbf5629255ad63f8589b75ed6 for VirtueMart extension

We moved a large VirtueMart site to GoDaddy. We replaced a 2009 version of sh404SEF with purchased versions of JoomSEF 3 and the VirtueMart extension.

We purchsed a GoDaddy SSL certificate.

We are getting an error when trying to add a product to the cart, saying "Your browser does not accept cookies...". Nothing is added to the cart.

I have searched for solutions and made these changes to my site to try to solve this problem

1) Turned off ajax updating of the cart

2) Made sure that the domain name is always the same

In virtuemart.cfg.php
define( 'URL', 'www.naturalpathhealthcenter.com/' );
define( 'SECUREURL', 'www.naturalpathhealthcenter.com/' );

In .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^naturalpathhealthcenter.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) www.naturalpathhealthcenter.com/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

I am not sure this problem is due to JoomSEF or the extension, but these are the things we have changed.

Thanks!

Hello,

Try disabling the cookie check in VirtueMart's configuration.

Thanks! I have tried disabling the cookie check and it just gets rid of the message. The problem still exists and nothing is added to the cart.

Well generally it's problematic to share cookies between http and https. I've found some topics about this on virtuemart's forum, try checking them out if they provide some solution:

EDIT: Is your whole site using SSL or only the cart and checkout parts of virtuemart?

Thanks so much for your suggestions David.

The links you supplied gave me just the info I needed to make the cart work properly.

I had read in another forum about a problem with SSL and cookies, but one of your links explained the entire thing to me, that the cookies save in non-secure mode were not available in the secure checkout mode and that is why the cart was empty.

There were a number of suggestions and since the site was down for ordering for a number of days, I chose the simplest fix for now, which was to set the VM Site URL to https:..., just like the Secure URL. Now the cookies are all stored in secured mode and the cart is populated when you go to checkout.

I am really glad we purchased the Artio JoomSEF products for this site.

Thanks again for your help!

Bill
