For all that this didn´t help:
(your magento-installation isn´t at servers root?! -> domain.tld/magento)
Turn “Use Secure URLs in Frontend”-Setting to No
in Config->Web->Secure – this helps for me.
(next clear all cache at magento (/var/session and /var/cache) and the browser-cache…
I hope this helps all they are going through hell with this bug!

I just wanted to post my experience- We’ve had the same problems for a while and I had a customer who helped us a lot, she tried from work and home to place an order for 2 days. Didn’t work either place, same empty shopping cart error, I changed the session validation settings & she was then able to complete the order. I am running Magento ver. 1.3.2.3.

Another question though- should my “Use HTTP Only (under session cookie management) ” setting be set to no or yes if I have secure URL’s enabled in the frontend, thanks a lot

[...] also points out an issue where dynamic IPs could cause an “empty cart” problem because of a security measure [...]

I am currently going through compliance for billing and this issue has prevented me from being accepted so the issue needs to be resolved. Exact problem is when clicking on proceed to checkout cart empties and it goes back to the front page. I have tried to replicate the issue myself on 10-20 difference computers at different addresses just can not get it. I have now turned the settings off to see if billing still has the problem. I have the newest version of magento but the browser problems are still a worry. Has anyone found a solution????

Regards Rob

In my installation, these settings are always turned off. This should be a problem that arised itself (without my clear notification).
But again, a fresh installation too did not work then after.

All I can say is thanks! I’ve been trying to isolate/reproduce/correct this issue for a couple days on a store running 1.3.1.1.

[...] Under Session Validation Settings, I set “Validate HTTP_USER_AGENT” to yes, all others should be no. As per the discussion at: http://thewellrunsite.com/2009/02/12/fixing-the-magento-checkout-glitch/ [...]
