When adding a product in shopping cart on your magento installed website, it shows message as below. It does not allows you to add the product to your shopping cart.<\/p>\n

Cannot add the item to shopping cart.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When adding a product to your shopping cart system needs a directory in which the sessions files can be stored temporarily. On linux servers, these session files are stored in tmp<\/strong> directory.<\/p>\n

Open the file named “File.php” under your magento installation<\/a>. Path is “lib\/Zend\/Cache\/Backend\/File.php<\/strong>“. On a cPanel installed server the absolute path is “\/home\/user\/public_html\/lib\/Zend\/Cache\/Backend\/File.php<\/strong>“. Change<\/p>\n

protected $_options = array(
\n‘cache_dir’ => ‘null’,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

with<\/strong><\/p>\n

protected $_options = array(
\n‘cache_dir’ => ‘tmp\/’,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Save the file and exit. Make sure you create a tmp<\/strong> directory under the directory magento is installed. Set permissions to 777.<\/p>\n

Magento builds up cache at a higher rate in comparison to other e-commerce applications. Whenever you make any changes in the code OR configuration form admin panel, make sure to clear the cache. Delete all the content under “var\/cache<\/strong>” OR “\/home\/user\/public_html\/var\/cache<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Now try adding the products to your shopping cart & they will work like a charm.<\/p>\n
