Hi,

 

I am having trouble with sessions.. when I try to do tests on the live store i see this error

 

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

 

 

Also in the admin side.

 

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

 

So, i always have to either refresh or go back to the previous page.

You seem to be missing some code, did it come that way or did you remove it. I have

function tep_session_start() {

global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;

 

$sane_session_id = true;

 

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[tep_session_name()])) {

if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/', $HTTP_GET_VARS[tep_session_name()]) == false) {

unset($HTTP_GET_VARS[tep_session_name()]);

 

$sane_session_id = false;

}

} elseif (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[tep_session_name()])) {

if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/', $HTTP_POST_VARS[tep_session_name()]) == false) {

unset($HTTP_POST_VARS[tep_session_name()]);

 

$sane_session_id = false;

}

} elseif (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[tep_session_name()])) {

if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/', $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[tep_session_name()]) == false) {

$session_data = session_get_cookie_params();

 

setcookie(tep_session_name(), '', time()-42000, $session_data['path'], $session_data['domain']);

 

$sane_session_id = false;

}

}

 

if ($sane_session_id == false) {

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false));

}

 

return session_start();

yes my code is different from yours , it is a template, i bought it. Here is all the sessions.php code. i don't know what's wrong with it.

You should seek assistance from the template vendor.

[oslover]

I don't think it's the vendor problem as I have the same template working on another site, the only difference btw them is the design of the home page..

 

Please help me, i don't want to refresh the page everytime i hit somewhere... please

There has to be some difference between the two stores. You will need to find it.
