HELP! "Headers already sent" issue

[DommyCastles]

Hi all,

 

I have a huge problem here and I would love to get some help on the matter.

 

Now, I have an online store which has an 'headers already sent' issue.

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/home/f-web/fb/c9/pdbikeworks.com/public/www/bikeworks/Online_Store/catalog/includes/work//sess_fa111a1e4f73c50d5399f1470a226b68, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/f-web/fb/c9/pdbikeworks.com/public/www/bikeworks/Online_Store/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 99

After searching the forums I'm lead to believe it is due to white space before/after my php tags. I have checked my sessions.php file for white space, nothing. I then backtracked and went through index.php, application_top.php, template_top.php, header.php, template_bottom.php, application_bottom.php and still found no white space.

 

I am at my wits end here, and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thank you!

I have also just run this on the aforementioned php files: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8046 with no help. :mellow:

Store sessions in the Database.

This is a setting in the configure.php file.

Start at the other end of the error list (the permission denied error). The "headers already sent" errors are a consequence of the first error. Fix the first error and the others will likely resolve themselves.

 

Whenever you have "headers already sent", if there are any other errors reported before them, take care of those other errors first. Very often, that will eliminate the error message(s) being sent to the browser, which will in turn eliminate the "headers already sent" errors. If "headers already sent" are the first (or only) error(s), look for bad editing (blanks before <?php or after ?>, Byte Order Mark, add-on code in the wrong place (outside of PHP blocks), etc.

Thanks alot everyone. I took care of the issue, turns out it I just had to change the directory where I was storing the sessions.

 

This line:

 

 define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

 

Instead of starting a new topic I'll just post my other issue here.

 

My login page is also not working and returns a 404 error.

 

Here is the link:

pdbikeworks.com/bikeworks/Online_Store/catalog/admin

 

It MUST be finding it from somewhere, because my browser's address changes and my session ID is displayed:

http://www.pdbikeworks.com/admin/login.php?osCAdminID=SESSION_ID

 

Can anyone shed some light on the situation?

 

Thanks again!

I've looked into it a little further and I think the issue was this line:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); 

need to be changed to:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/bikeworks/Online_Store/catalog/admin/');

 

Now I come across another whole mess of errors:

Help? :mellow:

[DommyCastles]

Fixed it!

 

The problem was this line:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'catalog/');

 

was directed wrong.

 

Thanks everyone!
