problem with login.php, do not have access to php.ini

This seems to be a session problem of your webhoster. Please try this and tell what it is giving as result:

Create a new file "test.php" in your web root:

Code: Select all

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['test'] = "TEST";

if(!isset($_SESSION['test'])) {
  echo 'Hey - error. No Session.';
} else {
  echo $_SESSION['test'];
}

?>

Oliver,

This is the result of test.php

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /hsphere/local/home/ssmith/s2studio.org/test.php on line 3

as I told you via email - kill your webhoster

Do you have a .htaccess file installed?

regards
Oliver

Oliver,

I have been fighting with them since i started using them <sigh>. Maybe tonite I will look around and find someone new.

in response to your question, i do have .htaccess installed.

try to rename .htaccess to .htaccess_bak and check the test.php again. Maybe the .htaccess is not neccessary or includes code that is responsible for your error messages.

Regards
Oliver

I renamed the htaccess file and now test and sessiontest work however when I go to login.php

I receive this error

Parse error: parse error, expecting `'('' in /hsphere/local/home/ssmith/s2studio.org/include/inc_conf/conf.inc.php on line 51

i havebeen happy with http://www.sp34.com a uk based host with a us community. BUT I am still trying to clear up a thumbnail issue, this may not be thier issue though

they are cheap the prices/pipe options are very clean and simple. thier live irc help/chat room has a really good service and they even has a us guy in the room for people on your time

Try to remove all comments form your conf.inc.php - the part of a line behind ; starting with // (have never seen such error). The config cou have posted seems to be OK.

You can also try to disable line 51 and check what happens then.

Is the database of phpwcms created?

Oliver the database was created and have checked it to ensure and as far as I can tell all the tables have been created

My vote goes to phpwebhosting.com

They are very easy to work with and they are flexible with bandwidth and storage. If you wanted something more "managed" (as in you don't want to mess with it) you can also host with my company. But if you want a host catered to developers then phpwebhosting.com is really good.

Good Luck

problem with login.php, do not have access to php.ini

test.php

.htaccess

test.php works but no login.php

on a seperate note

DATABASE IS GO

WORKS
