healthsmart Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 :o I am getting this message Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/oscommerce2/includes/functions/general.php:1255) in /var/www/html/oscommerce2/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67 Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /var/www/html/oscommerce2/includes/functions/general.php:1255) in /var/www/html/oscommerce2/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67 Warning Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /var/www/html/oscommerce2/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. It looks like my program is being hacked. How can I stop this security problem.

♥Vger Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Calm down. Your programme is not being hacked. The first error relates to whitespace at the beginning or end of the file you are loading when the error appears. Download it via FTP, open it in a plain text editor like Textpad, remove any blank lines or spaces before the opening or after the closing php tag, save it and upload it to the correct folder again via FTP. Do not use the osCommerce File Manager to edit files. The last message is one you get just after you have installed your website, because the permissions on the file mentioned need to be reset to 'Read Only'. That will be 644, or 444, or even 400 depending on your server setup. Use the File Manager in your web hosting control panel (not your osC admin panel) to reset the permissions on that file.

healthsmart Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 The only problem is my oscommerce program has been running for months and no-one as far as I know has made any changes to those files. Now all of a sudden I started getting these messages. I can understand if I had been doing any changes but I haven't. So what is the cause then?

MarcoZorro Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Just because you havent changed anything doesnt mean nothing has changed :) Most likely your host has been playing.. speak with them. Also read http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/G...mon_Problems/15 as this is a common problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
