Session resetting in Firefox

Post by Seattlebadboy »

Hey,

I'm having a weird issue I can't figure out. When I'm using Firefox as my browser, one of my clients sites doesn't hold the session_id when you either change to a different page or refresh the current page.

It works fine in IE, just not Firefox.

Any one ran into this before? Any suggestions?


Note: This is a live Apache, Linux server and is not running locally.

TIA

Nope. The settings are the same, and work with many of the other sites we've built. I'm using the OSCommerce package, which works fine on other sites, that I've worked on recently.

One of my only thoughts is, that the other sites are set with their domain. The site with the issues however is still on an IP right now, and as soon as this bug is figured out, the DNS records will be propogated.

Any ideas?

Just as a follow up for anyone having the same issues. I have found that the problem, did lie within the fact that the website was still sitting on an IP address and not a domain. IE would accept the session and keep it with somewhat ease. However, Firefox and Netscape could not.
