session lost randomly after removing index.php from URL's in joomshopping

I have ecommerce application on joomshopping(i.e An ecommerce extension for joomla), and I have removed index.php from URL's. Now, cart session is destroying automatically and randomly at any step.
For removing index.php, I have enabled Search Engine Friendly URL's and URL rewriting from joomla admin. I am using ubuntu14.04 and placed .htaccess file on root directory.

My application is put in sub directory names as www.ramtons.com/demoinstance .

I have done following changes for SEF URL's:-

1) .htaccess code

##
# @package Joomla
# @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2014 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved.
# @license GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
# READ THIS COMPLETELY IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THIS FILE!
# The line just below this section: 'Options +FollowSymLinks' may cause problems
# with some server configurations. It is required for use of mod_rewrite, but may already
# be set by your server administrator in a way that dissallows changing it in
# your .htaccess file. If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to
# beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url's. If they work,
# it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here.
## Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
#Options +FollowSymLinks
## Mod_rewrite in use.

<FilesMatch "\\.(html|htm|php|js)$">
FileETag None
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
Header set Pragma "no-cache"
</FilesMatch>

RewriteEngine On

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ramtons.com/demoinstance [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.ramtons.com/demoinstance/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits.
# If you experience problems on your site block out the operations listed below
# This attempts to block the most common type of exploit `attempts` to Joomla!
# Block out any script trying to base64_encode data within the URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode[^(]*\([^)]*\) [OR]
# Block out any script that includes a <script> tag in URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (<|%3C)([^s]*s)+cript.*(>|%3E) [NC,OR]
# Block out any script trying to set a PHP GLOBALS variable via URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
# Block out any script trying to modify a _REQUEST variable via URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
# Return 403 Forbidden header and show the content of the root homepage

RewriteRule .* index.php [F]
## End - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits.
## Begin - Custom redirects
# If you need to redirect some pages, or set a canonical non-www to
# www redirect (or vice versa), place that code here. Ensure those
# redirects use the correct RewriteRule syntax and the [R=301,L] flags.
## End - Custom redirects
# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.
# Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root).

RewriteBase /demoinstance/
## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section.

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# If the requested path and file is not /index.php and the request
# has not already been internally rewritten to the index.php script

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical folder

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# internally rewrite the request to the index.php script

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
##End - Joomla! core SEF Section.
2) in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000.default.conf :-

<Directory '/var/www/html'>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
3) Gzip is not enabled.

4) In phpinfo:-

session.save_path /var/www/html/demoinstance/session /var/www/html/demoinstance/session
5) Fiddler responses:- there is no 404/302 errors. 303/403/202 response are coming.

Please help me out. I am facing this issue from past 20 days and yet not found any solution.

Thanks in advance.

Aw: session lost randomly after removing index.php from URL's in joomshopping

Hi Team,

I have checked again and found that when we are trying to add product from multiple tabs in single browser, then sometimes cart gets empty or not updated.

There is some problem in cart page.

Please guide us in this direction. I'll be very obliged to u.
