Copy this and paste it in place of that line

var $cookie_path = substr(DIR_WS_ADMIN, 0, -1);

 

var $cookie_path = substr(DIR_WS_ADMIN, 0, -1);

here is yours see the difference?

var $cookie_path = substr(DIR_WS_ADMIN, 0,-1);

 

Mine has a space between , -1

well how comes you're using php5 and the sessions aren't supported? This file is used for php3 because of the session_start. Unless you changed something in your catalog\includes\application_top.php

I havent change the code.

 

I have turn on the session support in PHP. Are there any thing I need to config for the PHP??

not sure I understand what you mean by turning the sessions on in php. If you're talking about the php.ini the defaults should be just fine, assuming you have your own server. But looking at the error reported shows it uses the admin/includes/classes/sessions.php That file will be used if the session_start function does not exist. ie prior to PHP4.

 

So you could place a php script in the root of the osc catalog and run it like:

 

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

 

shows php5 right?

 

Also if the catalog end works it means something else is incorrect with the admin because it performs the same test there.

THX, I have solved. I forget i have add disable-all when I install the PHP.

 

I have the same issue - not sure what you mean by 'I forget i have add disable-all' please elaborate.

 

I just had my server upgraded from 4.4.6 to 4.4.7 and cURL enabled.

 

Thanks
