Hi guys

I have almost finished setting up my first opencart setup.

I have two problems at the moment

1. The url SOMETIMES (not always) shows as /shop which is right, and is how the main page should show. But sometimes it changes to shop/index.php?route=common/home. A few other pages end up showing this sort of thing too. Any idea how I can prevent this?
2. There is some sort of caching issue. for example a new user registers an account and logs in to it, but they are then prompted to log in again over and over until a forced refresh of the page makes it realise they are logged in. Any ideas how to fix that?

Opencart looks like a really great system and I'm looking forward to learning more and more about it, any help you can give on the above two points would be EPIC

Best regards

Luke

.htaccess file issue. Use an SEO extension from the marketplace rather than the one from the core. It is way easier to handle the URLs. ;)

I would first uninstall the SEO extension and see if that resolves the problem for the URL. If so, there are plenty on the Marketplace you could rather download for free.

Ensure your system/storage folder is outside your public_html folder. Edit your config.php and admin/config.php files and set the new location for your DIR_STORAGE. Remove the entire line in your .htaccess where it says: ^system/storage . Set recursive permission settings to your storage folder. Clear all OC cache from your admin - > dashboard and from your admin - > extensions - > modifications - > refresh button. This should resolved the issue.

Can you please explain how you Set recursive permission settings to your storage folder?

Also if site is online would you do this in cpanel, or through your FTP client?

Hi guys
I have installed opencart version 3.0.3.2 uploaded the theme http://opencart.opencartworks.com/theme ... /index.php this layout, earlier everything was working fine but now facing issue with the cache in the cart and checkout page, cart and checkout both are not refreshing by itself i have to forced refresh the pages makes it refresh with the product and quantity chosen . Sometimes cart page doesn't redirect to checkout page when we click the checkout button. Same issue with the login and logout and register pages. When you are logout and try to login from other account it will still shows previous account login doesn't allow new user to login.
other than theme using below 2 plugins
SEO XML Sitemap Generator - UNLIMITED LINKS
Opencart SEO Pack PRO

Please give some solution for this issue
also tried this solution but doesn't help much
"Ensure your system/storage folder is outside your public_html folder. Edit your config.php and admin/config.php files and set the new location for your DIR_STORAGE. Remove the entire line in your .htaccess where it says: ^system/storage . Set recursive permission settings to your storage folder. Clear all OC cache from your admin - > dashboard and from your admin - > extensions - > modifications - > refresh button. This should resolved the issue. "

Thanks and regard

I had the same issue (OC 3.0.2.0). As OC does not set the Cache-control header, the default header set by the webserver is used. In my case, it was

Code: Select all

Cache-Control: max-age=7200
. In my case, a solution described at viewtopic.php?f=201&t=207498#p737358 fixed the problem.

TLDR: Set

Code: Select all

Cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate
header for dynamic resources.

There are other caching issues with 3.0.3.2 and 3.0.3.6 (maybe other 3.x versions too).

https://github.com/condor2/Opencart_303 ... 2a19887126

There's one more for the language cache and I can't find that link at the moment. I'll return and post it when I find it again.

This is the 3rd one I was looking for earlier:
