Session_start errors

rpfeiff

I could use some help. On my girlfriends website i get these errors.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/chroot/home/content/02/5180702/tmp/sess_ei80h43f06oqsu4gq7i8u6k1o0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/02/5180702/html/velvetleotards/part_session.php on line 2

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/02/5180702/html/velvetleotards/part_session.php:1) in /home/content/02/5180702/html/velvetleotards/part_session.php on line 2

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/content/02/5180702/html/velvetleotards/part_session.php:1) in /home/content/02/5180702/html/velvetleotards/part_session.php on line 2

Here is the code.

<?php
session_start();
if (!is_array($SESSION['ProdID'])) {$SESSION['ProdID'] = array();}
if (!is_array($SESSION['fid'])) {$SESSION['fid'] = array();}
if (!is_array($SESSION['Fabric'])) {$SESSION['Fabric'] = array();}
if (!is_array($SESSION['HairAccessory'])) {$SESSION['HairAccessory'] = array();}
if (!is_array($SESSION['Size'])) {$SESSION['Size'] = array();}
if (!is_array($SESSION['Quantity'])) {$SESSION['Quantity'] = array();}
?>

I could sure use some help.
Thanks

Ensure that there are no blank lines, spaces or any other whitespace (or text) before the <?php. If this is okay, then you may have a byte order mark problem, and solving that may depend on your text editor.

Looks a tad more like a config error to me:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/chroot/home/content/02/5180702/tmp/sess_ei80h43f06oqsu4gq7i8u6k1o0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/02/5180702/html/velvetleotards/part_session.php on line 2

Seeing as it has O_RDWR set, I might try checking the permissions on /var/chroot/home/content/02/518072/tmp ... probably the web user doesn't have write permission there, but it's just a guess.

Thanks. I looked it over and can't find any extra bytes. So I turned it over to the 'experts' at Godaddy. They have been looking at it for two days and haven't figured it out yet. Sheesh...

Sounds like I need to apply there, lol.

Did you tell them my theory? You get rid of this error:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/chroot/home/content/02/5180702/tmp/sess_ei80h43f06oqsu4gq7i8u6k1o0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/02/5180702/html/velvetleotards/part_session.php on line 2

and dollars to doughnuts the others go away.

And this one indicates a permissions error or bad path. Put up a page like this:

<?php

$path=ini_get("session.save_path");

if (!is_writable($path)) {
   echo "Yup, that's the problem, $path is not writable!";
} else {
   echo "Dalecosp is wrong, wrong, wrong!";
}
?>

Yeah it sounds to me (and i could be wrong) that the session-related in your PHP.ini file are trying to store session-related values in a nonexistent directory -- or one that PHP does not have permission to write. Or something like that.

... yup, and you could throw a call to [man]is_dir/man into the little script and check for existence as well.

Well... sort of. [man]is_dir/man still requires that you have permissions to read/execute every directory in the path up to the directory in question.
