Getting Error: Warning: session_start...

Hi,

On some servers, this problem can be caused by blank spaces at the top of the page. Make sure your <?php tag is at the very top of the page with no blank lines. Also, if you have something that looks like this:

<?php
* SOME CODE*
?>

<?php
*SOME MORE CODE*

at the top of the page, remove the blank line between ?> and <?php. Give this a try. If you're still running into a problem, please attach your .php file to this thread and I'll take a closer look.

Hope this helps.

I tried that with no success. I found another post specific to this same error and the web host PHP set-up. I've sent them an email to see if it's an issue.

My php file is attached.

Thanks

Fixed it. I went into the php.ini file and made this change:

LOOK FOR THIS LINE:
;session.save_path = "/tmp"


CHANGE:
remove the ; and change the /tmp to a path to a folder on your website.

In CMS Builder, if you go to: Admin > General > Program Directory, it will list the filepath for the directory CMS Builder is in, such as:
/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs/cmsAdmin

If that was your path, you'd want to create a directory here and use this path:
/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/php_sessions

You need to also create the new folder where the filepath points to!


It's working as usual now. Thanks!

Hi,

That's great! Glad that everything is working for you now.

Thanks for posting a solution.
