Shopping Cart PHP Sessions error

[jamie]

When I click on the Add to Cart button, my product goes into my shopping cart fine, but when I click to check out I receive the error:

Your shopping cart is empty. Please add an item to your cart. You can load the checkout page and make sure the shopping cart is not empty.

If you are the admin of this site and you are certain that the shopping cart is not empty then the PHP Session on your server is not working correctly. Please check this article

I’ve checked with my hosting provider and they say there is nothing wrong with my settings, they verified that everything with the PHP is set up correctly. I’ve also done the test that is recommended with putting an item in the cart, redirecting to another page, and checking to see if the item is still there. It is.

What do I need to do in order to be able to successfully use the Add to Cart functionality?

I recently CHANGED MY DOMAIN and began getting this message when trying to buy items in my shopping cart

“Your shopping cart is empty. Please add an item to your cart. You can load the checkout page and make sure the shopping cart is not empty.

I’ve also done the test that is recommended with putting an item in the cart, redirecting to another page, and checking to see if the item is still there. It is.

I looked further through your forums and saw where I should change my config file to:

define(‘WP_ESTORE_SAVE_SESSION_TO_COOKIE’, true);

I did that too. no luck

Debug file:

[04/18/2012 4:20 PM] – SUCCESS :eStore post payment processing script invoked

Everything else on the site works so I am reasonably sure that no other settings were affected by the name change. any help would be appreciated.

Please post a link to the page where I can go and add a product to the shopping cart.

You will notice the redirect

[admin]

You have got two different domains going on here. The following two domains are different. You can’t cross between two domains:

[http://aafl-chicago.org]

[http://aaffpl.org]

You have the shopping cart in one domain and then the redirection happens to a different domain. It can’t work like that. The plugin can only work on within the same domain where it is installed.
