Blank page on create account

[insomnix]

I am curently building a new site. I have made some minor modifications, but nothing to the zen_session_recreate function. When trying to create a new account, I get stuck at a blank page. I found that it stops at the line that calls zen_session_recreate. Oddly enough, I don't run into that problem when logging onto an existing account.
I am using PHP Version 5.1.6 and Zen-Cart 1.3.8a.

It wont help much when you tell us what you haven't changed. In fact, what did you change that causes this problem?

I added some more $_SESSION[] strings for other pages not related to the login process. I wouldn't expect that to cause problems on zen_session_recreate. As I said, the logging in is not a problem, but creating a new account is. It makes no sence to me.

After doing some reading, I updated the function with:

function zen_session_recreate() {
    global $http_domain, $https_domain, $current_domain;
      if ($http_domain == $https_domain) {
      // chaged to  
      $oldSessID = session_id();
      session_regenerate_id();
      $newSessID = session_id();
      whos_online_session_recreate($oldSessID, $newSessID);
      /* removed
      $saveSession = $_SESSION;
      $oldSessID = session_id();
      session_regenerate_id();
      $newSessID = session_id();
      session_id($oldSessID);
      session_id($newSessID);
      if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'db') {
      session_set_save_handler('_sess_open', '_sess_close', '_sess_read', '_sess_write', '_sess_destroy', '_sess_gc');
      }
      session_start();
      $_SESSION = $saveSession;
      if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG !== true) {
        whos_online_session_recreate($oldSessID, $newSessID);
      }
      */
    } else {
       //unchanged section ...
    }
  } 

This did not change anything. I am still open to any ideas.

I think you're chasing a red herring.
I don't know how you came up with the idea that your problem is with the recreate-session code.

Your problem is almost certainly a result of incorrectly editing one of the language files ... probably the one for create_account.

Fantastic, the error log file has shown me a pattern I can follow.

Thanks.

I too have the same problem - When I try to create a new account, it ends up on a blank page -

I did not make any changes that I know of -

If you figured out your problem, can you share it here with me.

This is almost certainly the issue.
