Cookies are required so items can be stored in the basket. If they are turned off, this error will happen.

There is no work around if cookies are disabled.

I am always interested in trying to understand the thought process behind settings like this. Why would you disable cookies? Inherently there are no security concerns by enabling them.

YES YES YES YES!!!! The tech at powweb fixed it and gave the reason:

Dear Customer,

I am contacting you about your ticket, #5693590, regarding your issue. Your cart's error was giving the result below, this was found in your CGI error logs in your Control Panel. I have edited your PHP.INI file in your control panel and changed the session.save_path to /home/users/web/b1523/pow.randyvild/htdocs/cgi-bin/tmp

Error Log:

PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/php_sessions) in Unknown on line 0

I hope that helps for others.
