sessions error after changing hosts

I'm stuck!

I'm getting this error (with appropriate path) in both admin and the catalog

Code:

[29-Jul-2011 12:07:54] PHP Warning:  session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/megaudio/public_html/adminurrhtcqq/includes/classes/logger.php:106) in /home/megaudio/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 114

I have gone back and very carefully edited the original configure files

All other files are identical to last host. There are no other changes.

site was on godaddy but even though they do screwy things with their install, the files should be fine.

Can a corrupted file cause this? That's the only other thing I can think of.

There was another odd thing happening at first which I had to go into the database to fix because I couldn't even get the fix_cache_key file to run. It was throwing an error about the path even though the cache method is set to none.

Have you confirmed the path listed in these two locations are correct?

Admin > Configuration > Logging
Log Destination

Admin > Configuration > Sessions
Session Directory

**delia** · 29 Jul 2011, 07:00 PM

Yes the database entries are correct as well as the configure files

OK, next suggestion is to delete the files mentioned in the error msg. and upload the originals again. Not uncommon for files to get corrupted when the Server cannot properly handle the amount of files uploaded originally.

1. You've publicly disclosed your admin foldername. You might want to change it.

2. The error message is:
[29-Jul-2011 12:07:54] PHP Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/megaudio/public_html/adminurrhtcqq/includes/classes/logger.php:106) in /home/megaudio/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 114

So, as per http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=87, you'll note that the error is occurring on line 106 of the logger.php file.
And, since the original logger.php file has only 64 lines, your file is evidently damaged ... probably double-spaced with extra blank lines added by a bad FTP program that doesn't handle line-breaks properly.

ah super! Thanks!

To report:

uploaded new zen cart default files and problem was corrected.

The other thing to learn is to not publish the entire error message. Man oh man, it is Friday and I'm so glad work is just about done for the week!
