Shop suddenly displaying plently of errors, what are they and how can I fix?

[Sarah_h]

I'm in panic mode so please excuse my rambling post! These are the sort of errors I'm seeing:

 

Warning: session_save_path(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 1694/503 is not allowed to access owned by uid/gid 0/0 in /home/users/******/html/********/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 118

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/users/********/html/********/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php:118) in /home/users/********/html/********/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

 

And many more like them both front and backend. Now, my host has just been changing things and may have changed to php5. So what does it mean and what can I do to sort all this out?

 

Thanks

I reviewed the bug report and made the recommended changes (changing the "/tmp" to "tmp") in the configuration/sessions/session directory.

 

Still see this error at the top of the page.

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/theshopp/public_html/index.php:2) in /home/*****/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

AlanR,

 

Tried the changes in your referenced thread above. Both configuration.php files reference the 'mysql' as required. Modified the two session.php files and still come up with same errors.

 

Any other suggestions this newbie could try?

Update!

 

After contacting my host and asking them if there was anything on their end that could have caused the error to show up, I get an email stating, "It seems that there was a charactor at the top of your page causing this error, I removed that charactor and the error no longer comes up."

 

Sure enough the page now loads as usual without any errors. So after snooping around, I find that my main index.php file has been most recently modified. Now I'm thinking wtf! How does that file get modified with an extra character if I haven't done a thing to change it?!

 

Is there any possible means for this file to be corrupted on its own or through the action of site users?

 

Time to start searching the forum...
