Help?

Can you please look at my e-commerce site for me?

NOTE! It is giving an error when placing items in the cart. Please try this for me....
I beleive that it is when it tries to set the cookie. I think maybe it is in the configuration file. Here are the addresses to the program.

Note the warning. This is what I am talking about. I also need advise on how to password protect the folder. I know it needs to be password protected, but not chmoded. those are two different things that I also need advice on if your willing?

Here is the link to the store itself.
<snip>

I am also thinking the path to the domain might not be set right for cookies. I am not sure how to check this out. Any ideas? please
It is in the cgi-bin/store/protected folder.
It is named: HTACCESS The line down nere the bottom says...
AuthUserFile /home/site1/www/sub1/cgi-bin/store/protected/

I am not certain that this is the correct server path to this folder? Also it wants us to telnet into this folder to set permissions. I couldn't get my telnet program to let me get in there but maybe you's have better luck here is what has to be done through telnet. I have never actually used a telnet before and mine is trying to hook up via a modem and I use dial up so I am confused. Help? Is this my error or problem? and if so...how do I resolve it?

This is what I understand about using telnet. It isn't much so please advise if I am wrong or missing something
I think in theory that this is what I am spose to do... cant figure it out though. Please advise me on this if you can?

You must telnet into your web server and change directories
to the /store/protected/ directory. Pick a user name, and, from
here, type the following on the command line...

htpasswd manager.access your_user_name

The server should respond with...

Adding user your_user_name

Re-type new password: (you'll type it again :-))

I'm not sure this has to be done, but, since I can't figure out why it is crashing, this might be why.

Let me know what you find out? I could really use help on this

Thanks so much,
Sara

Welcome to WebmasterWorld sdaugher

I didn't get any errors when using the shopping cart at all. What was the exact warning you were getting?

The store and shopping cart seem to be working properly. I guess I didnt explain this very well. I would like the customer to be able to go to a password protected page to view their account status after they have sent their order.
What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Sara
