secure template cannot see session variable..

[leadman]

I just put the checkout pages of my cart onto a secure server "

https:///secure.www....."

and all of a sudden i'm getting this error (it works fine if not secure):

Error resolving parameter SESSION.CART

The session variable CART does not exist. The cause of this error is very likely one of the following things:

The name of the session variable has been misspelled.
The session variable has not yet been created.
The session variable has timed out.

The error occurred while evaluating the expression:

"#session.cart#"

Anyone know why this is happening?

The Session variable typically uses a cookie to store the information. Cookies are associated with domains and therefore before going to the checkout, the cookie would've been "

www....

", but now the checkout Session looking for the cookie "

secure.www....

" and will not be able to find it because it doesn't exist. That's my guess to your problem. - tleish

do you know of a good way to get around this problem? How about if i dont enable cookies - wont the session variable then be set in the server ram?
