Fatal error:/autoload_func.php on line 90

[[email protected]]

I installed on server. Store opened to home page with this Warning at the top:

Warning: session.auto_start is enabled - please disable this PHP feature in php.ini and restart the web server.

I made layout changes through the admin with layout and then the store dissappeared.

So I reinstalled the ZenCart. The page that comes up has a fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /includes/autoload_func.php on line 90

Is this on my side or the hosting server?
site:
http://www.spittinimagesonline.com/index.php

server PHP version: 4.4.4

Thank you!!!

I reinstalled 3 times, still same error.

The store comes up the very first time you go to store. Hit Refresh or go back and the error comes back.


I moved it to a different directory on the last install:

http://spittinimagesonline.com/store...php?main_page=


Thanks!

I have this on my server as a test and it installed and runs good, not sure what is going on.

Appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks again.

The error message that you are getting in red at the top of the screen tells you what you need to do. The php.ini file is php's initialization file. It is set to automatically start a session which I guess is getting in the way of Zen Cart's attempots to do so. As a result some of the functionality used to build Zen Cart pages can't be properly executed.

You need the automatic session start turned off, but whether you can do this directly, need your host to do it for you, or need a work around, will depend on how your server has been configured. This is a question to put to your web host.

That was the first thing that I did. Email support at the hosting company. I have not heard back (go figure?).

I just wanted to make sure it was not something I did in the install process.

I did try the .htacess file and it did not work. Maybe I misunderstood the use of that file.

I'll wait to hear back from the support people.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my post.

I just went into the .htaccess file in public_html of the site and added the line:

php_value session.auto_start 0


It worked! Phew. :)

Morning all,

I have look over all the posts and done everything that has been said above....with no luck! One day the site was working the next not??

1. Asked the host to make changes - cant do that as its a shared/virual server
2. as soon as I add the "php_value session.auto_start 0" to my .htaccess file the server crashes and returns a 500 error

I have tried replacing all the files and nothing!

Does anyone have any other ideas? Please I am Desperate! Thank you in advance!!

Cheers B.
