Installation Error Message

[Nitram]

Immediately following the installation of the Zen Cart I have the following error message:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot find save handler files in /home/ibskinc/public_html/shop/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 108

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/ibskinc/public_html/shop/includes/functions/sessions.php:108) in /home/ibskinc/public_html/shop/includes/init_includes/init_templates.php on line 78

Would someone be able to assist me with this error?

Thanks...

Is your public_html/shop/cache folder "writable", as directed during installation? It needs to be world-writable, which is typically CHMOD 777.

Yes, the folder is already set to CHMOD 777.

In your /includes/configure.php file, what are these set to?

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', '****');
  define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', '****'); 
  define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '****');

Here is what I have:

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/ibskinc/public_html/shop/cache');

What is the URL to your zc_install folder?
I want to look at the system-inspection details etc.

This is likely your problem:

WARNING: "PHP session.use_trans_sid = ON"

How to resolve it?
You can try the following, and/or work with your hosting company for the best way to do it on "their" servers.

PHP Session.use_trans_sid should be disabled.

The session.use_trans_sid setting in your server's PHP.INI file is set to ON.

This could potentially cause you some problems with session handling and possibly even security concerns.

You can sometimes work around this by setting an .htaccess parameter such as described here: http://www.olate.com/articles/252, or you could disable it in your PHP.INI if you have access to it.

For more information on the security risks it imposes, see: http://shh.thathost.com/secadv/2003-05-11-php.txt.

(You may have to create the .htaccess file if you don't already have one.)

OK, I did as you recommended and turned it off, but I am still getting the lines at the top of the page.

Do I need to uninstall it and re-install before it will take effect?
