Hi Clayster

Sorry - didn't mean to partronise.

The answer I got from the xcart tech team on this was:
Quote:
We are sorry for delay in answering, but we have managed to find the origin of the issue: enabled storing of sessions in mysql that is controlled with help of variable $store_sessions_in_mysql in file <xcart_dir>/config.php. This feature made web-server (Apache) on your host to crash and customerБ─≥s browser was getting only a part of html code.

Note: controlling of sessions storing in MySQL.
There is a line in file <xcart_dir>/config.php that looks like
$store_sessions_in_mysql = true;
This means to save session contents in MySQL database of your X-Cart installation.

If you change it to
$store_sessions_in_mysql = false;
you will get session handling using standard PHP method.

On some hosts enabled sessions storing in MySQL cause web-server (Apache, mostly) to crash during producing of HTML code of X-Cart page and customerБ─≥s browser gets only partial content of a page.

If you turn store sessions in mysql off, the standard method of setting session variables in PHP is used. I am not sure how this will impact on your scenario but this is not an unusual scenario I am sure.
