Magento not adding to cart

Question

On my development server I am having an issue with Magento not adding items to cart. Upon trying to add an item to cart I get sent to the cart screen saying cart is empty and cannot add item to cart.

I have searched possible issues without being able to find the answer.

Magento version is 1.9.1 and for some reason in var/log there are no log files to help me locate the issue.

Any help appreciated, Thanks.

Can provide code if required, which parts would you want to inspect? As regards to logs, for some reason I am not getting any logs... — user3684075, Aug 10 '15 at 08:55

Magento 1.9 expects form key value in various actions like add to cart, update cart, customer login etc. So you might need to add:-

 <?php echo $this -> getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>

to your add to cart phtml file . It will add an hidden input field for formkey which may fix your issue.

Add this into the form in the cart.phtml file and it did not fix the issue – user3684075 Aug 10 '15 at 13:35
Did you upgraded your Magento or when did you start getting this issue? – Aug 11 '15 at 08:26
The issue started when I put it onto my staging server. On my local environment it works fine. – user3684075 Aug 11 '15 at 11:20
I fixed the issue, it was a problem with the routing the the tmp/ directory – user3684075 Aug 12 '15 at 11:00
