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

[shane]

I have downloaded, unpacked, uploaded and ran the setup.php without error with all green lights, however when I try to login I recieve this error:

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /hsphere/local/home/ssmith/s2studio.org/login.php on line 24

I am hosting through ixwebhosting and do not believe I have access to my php.ini, is there a work around for this?

can you not use..

Code: Select all

$phpwcms["db_host"] ='localhost' 

?
also check your broswer is allowing cookies too. (beat you IonRock )
also you chmods are in accordance wit th e phpwcms.de > installation details

[frold]

I guess it is this line:

$phpwcms["db_host"] = "69.49.230.13";

Im sure it need to be localhost I do not think you can use the ip address

[frold]

to slow frold... go to bed....

[pSouper]

I beat you to Frold
(and i have more post too )

Wow this is the fastest forum I have seen.
I will try the suggestion, before I was using Drupal and I needed to insert the actual IP address of the mySQL server since it is running on a different machine then where my site is running. I am not a code guru, but a lowly architecture major, however I was under the impression that the use of localhost was if I was running it off my linux box at home, is this true?

thanks again

I have changed to local host and have checked all my chmods as far as I can tell and ensured that mozilla is accepting all cookies, still not working. Any other suggestions would be wonderful.

[pSouper]

is your domain name ok without www. ? http://s2studio.org/
if i go to the domain http://s2studio.org/login.php iget...

Code: Select all

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /hsphere/local/home/ssmith/s2studio.org/login.php on line 24

this looks like your php host has session issues (i'm no expert on this)

[frold]

I needed to insert the actual IP address of the mySQL server since it is running on a different machine then where my site is running.

Then it is not "localhost" then you have to find the name of the server like "mysql.server.com"

I do not know if you can use the ip address - but if you can find the http address it would be great....

[shane]

I am not sure who they have their php configured. s2studio.org will work without the www. I modified my conf.ini.php to reflect a post in another forum reply and now have this

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

Error while trying to connect to

is this anycloser to getting it up and running? thanks again for helping me out so much

[pSouper]

when i go here... []urlhttp://www.s2studio.org/index.php[/url] i get further erros for you to investigate.. try....

http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.p ... t&start=15
try creatin this sessiontest.php as described her eby OG. if this doesn't work either the the problem is probably with your host

[shane]

frold, yes i have changed it to reflex the http addy shown in my control panel

[frold]

It is because of the wrong path to the database....

[frold]

I have talked with Oliver you CAN use this path as database path

$phpwcms["db_host"] = "69.49.230.13";

I was wrong

[shane]

I have tried this session test and I believe it may be the ISP, i have had problems with them in the past and will be tranfering. Hopefully next one will have what I need. Thank again for your help.

Best,
