You're editing the right file. I have a few suggestions.

  1. Make sure you clear the caches every time you modify phtml files.
  2. Enable Template Path Hints in System > Configuration > Developer. Change to a store view to see this field. Go back to empty cart page and you should see the right path.
  3. If 2 is not an option (e.g. you're on a live site), check System > Configuration > Design. See Current Package Name and Templates fields. You have to edit app/design/frontend/[Current Package Name]/[Templates]/checkout/cart/noItems.phtml. If Templates field was empty replace it by default.

Hope it helps.

You can change the file in folder:
app/design/frontend/[Current Package Name]/[Templates]/checkout/cart/noItems.phtml

if you can't find the phtml file in your theme at the location checkout/cart/noItems.phtml, you have to include it yourself.

How do i include noItems.phtml?

You can find a copy of the file at:
/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/cart/noItems.phtml.

Just copy and paste it in app/design/frontend/[Current Package Name]/[Templates]/checkout/cart/noItems.phtml and you're good to go.

What to do after I changed the file?

Be sure to empty the Magento cache in system >> Cache Management and then the button Flush Magento Cache

If you use caching plugins like Redis, Memcache or Varnish be sure to flush those cache systems too.

  1. Check if cache is enabled (System -> Cache Management). I so refresh it or disable.
  2. Make sure that you are editing proper file (in your theme directory).

  • Are you sure that this file is used? Try to remove all content and see what happens.

I have magento 1.9

I had a similar problem in Internet Explorer, it was not able to add products to shopping cart (error message cart is empty).

I fixed the problem by going to the control panel on my computer and go into security and set the Internet Security settings to medium - high (my computer security settings was set too high) and was not allowing the Magento shopping cart to work in Internet Explorer, also I do not think this was the problem.

But I also changed the cookie lifetime from 5400 to 86400 (cookie lifetime is change in Magento - Configuration- Web- Cookie Lifetime

It works fine now!
