Hello,

On my store main setting page I am getting the following in red "You have the parameter "$pathtossl" set in your includes.asp file. This parameter is no longer used as the parameter is set here in admin. If you wish to override the parameter, use "$orstoreurlssl"." Under Store URL. Do I just need to delet that line from the includes.php?

Hi Scott, you can remove that line from the vsadmin/includes and input the store ssl url as https://www.yourdomain.com or if you do not use www it would be https://yourdomain.com

Thanks, but isn't that what entering the https://etc. in the main settings does automatically?

Ok, removed the line from includes.php, but still getting the red text in Main Settings about having $pathtossl.

Hi if you have a secrete admin folder make sure you remove it from the includes in that folder as well. Also try clearing your browser history / cache.

OK, did that, it's still there AND i just noticed if i log off, I get a "logged off successful" message and then it pops back to being logged in and I can interact as if I never logged off. What's up with that??

Hi if you bookmarked the login and checked to write a cookie at some point in the past then it will automatically log you in.

I did not. I have to log in with password each time. And when I click "log out" I get the "log out successful" screen for about a second, and then it displays my admin page without my doing anything as if I did not log out. That can't be right.

This has been happening for the last two years and I've never been able to solve it. I have Microsoft Edge set so that it never caches anything and it happens on that too. With a brand new install and after a few logins to the admin it happens irrespective of hosting - I have hosting with 3 different providers

Hi Steve, Scott
How about sending me the site FTP login details and I'll investigate this logout problem. I presume this happens on different PC's no? If that's the case I should be able to recreate this easily.

I just tried it on another computer and it does not pop me back to the admin page on that computer. So it is computer specific, but I have no idea why. As I said, I have to log in with user/password every time.

Hi Steve
I see what the problem is and it is directives you have in your .htaccess file for mod_expires. You have the setting...
# Default directive
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
...which means that PHP pages are going to be cached for a month. You don't want to cache PHP pages as by their nature they are dynamic and could give different content every time you view them. This really could cause customers problems on your site as it may mean for instance that they don't get to see cart contents as the customer would see a cached empty cart.

I have removed the ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month" line from .htaccess

Once again Vince, thanks for your help on that.
