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.

Please, if anyone can help here, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a client loosing their source of income here...

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

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

[Nitram]

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');

[DrByte]

If it's set to 'db', then it shouldn't even be trying to save any "files", since it's been directed to use the database.

Were there any warning messages or errors on the System Inspection screen during installation?

What's the URL to your zc_install folder?

[Nitram]

No errors during installation that I am aware of.
That zc_install folder is not there. I used the Fantastico Installer via cPanel to install it...

[DrByte]

Oh.

Well ... when Fantastico fails, it's best to do a fresh regular install.
It could be that one or more files are corrupted or there is a permissions problem, or something else has gone wrong during the automated installation. We have no quality-control over what fantastico does.

So ... download a fresh copy of Zen Cart, unzip it, and follow the installation instructions in the /docs folder.
You might want to delete the files fantastico installed before you upload yours. Or else upload to a different folder.

[Nitram]

Ok, I cleaned out all occurances of Zen Cart per the Fantastico installation. I downloaded the latest release from this site and uploaded it to the server.

Ran the installation routine with no errors and still receive the following error:

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

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

Now what?
