Failing to get access to admin screen

chengckk · June 13, 2005

Hi all,

Having done the oscommerce installation, I was able to get access the main screen (catalog/index.php) and everything seemd to be working normally. Unfortunately, I was not able to get access to the admin screen. I tried many times to go over the config pages to see if anything wrong with the path/directories setting, but still failing to resolve this flaw.

My platform is running on FreeBSD 5.4 /Apache2/mysql4.1/php4 -3.10,

the error I got from httpd-error.log is as follow;

PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(' , expecting ',' or ';' in

/usr/local/www/html/catalog/admin/includes/classes/sessions.php on line 33.

I'm much appreciated if someone could help to guide me through to resolve

this problem.

Many thanks in advance.

According to the error the problem is in the sessions.php not the configure.php

Hi Vger,

Sorry I cant catch what you mean !

Do you mean that I need to download the codes here and get my sessions.php replaced with this one ? As what I see the difference between the codes here and the original sessions.php file is that the FOUR places that marked with Smiling icons are removing " ;) " . Is that what you suggest me to do in order to get

the problem fixed.

Appreciated to have your further clarity!

Thanks/chengckk
