Please help with 1.5.8 installation- Problems with session support

I am upgrading from 1.5.5 to 1.5.8. I got this error message: Some problems that need fixing before we continue: Problems with session support.

From the session below. It seems to be enabled. Have you seen something like this? I cannot move forward with the new installation. Thanks for your input.

session.use_trans_sid no value 0

I think (keyword) that this might be the root of your issue:

Code:

---

session.use_trans_sid no value 0

---

Is it possible to set a php.ini override for the site where that value is specifically set to 0, i.e.

Code:

---

session.use_trans_sid=0

---

The problem was solved by changing session.save_path /var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php56 to the correct php74 version.

You should be using at least PHP 8 with ZC 1.5.8, UNLESS you have some current mod that will not work with 8.

7.4 was End of Life (EOL) last November AND, 8.0 will go EOL this coming November.

Has this been answered elsewhere? I also have a red "Problems with session support" banner and I'm using Geekhost with PHP 8.1

Thanks,
Mark

What are your site's Configuration :: Sessions settings? I've never seen such behavior on geekhost with the as-shipped settings.

Fixed! Server-side mistake I made a couple of days ago. I accidentally broke the cloudlinux cagefs styuff in your account. Whatever that means:) Thankfully they had a backup on the server, it just needed a couple more weeks. Thanks for getting back to me!
Now I'm up, here we go again. leavesofkentucky.com/cart
If anyone knows of an Etsy type plugin or advice, I would like to hear about it! - Thanks, Mark Young

You might want to take another look while looking at https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/troub...ng/blank_page/

I was rescued by the Geekhost staff again! I decided to go into a previously saved version and along with the Geekhost Sysops, I'm back up and getting help from the Zen-Cart forum.
