SQL Error

[Guest nymyth]

I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/includes/sessionStart.inc.php on line 39

Anyone know what it is?

I get a similar error when trying to access my admin too. Could this be due to the fact i created another session.tpl

This sounds like a problem with your server setup. Contact your host...

Thanks I have sent a help desk ticket.

It's very weird...after I refresh a few times itll load up. I double checked all my files and I dont think the new session.tpl should be giving it a problem as all i did was define a new variable in index.php and added some code to boxes/session.inc.php to read the new template. I dont think this should be a problem....if it is please let me know....

Thanks.

Well after doing more research this is a problem with a certain version of php:

by adding the following lines to your public_html .htaccess file it will fix the problem, until php developers figure it out:

php_value session.save_handler files

php_value magic_quotes_gpc 1

i also read this too:

However since php has changed the usage of sessions it might be better to start programming the new way.

Also start your session like this:

ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');

session_start();

It's not how it should be but this seems to work fine for now until they get this bug figured out.

HOPEFULLY ITLL HELP SOMEONE ELSE OUT
