Nothing jumping out to me

Both have the same settings for PHP sessions (other then default session.save_path)

Not supprise. I have a fresh installed zc1.51 under php5.4 in the same server with no issue. It is not the setting of the server, it is the code which causing the problem. We just don't know which custom code can triger this type error and would like inside person help us to pinpoint the problem.

[kagaroo]

I just read the requirement for zc 1.51.

Zen Cart v1.5.1 is compatible with PHP 5.2.14 thru PHP 5.3.x. Requires some patches to work with PHP 5.4.

Can anyone point to me which patch it refers to? Thanks!

Don't know where you read that. Quoting the requirements from the docs folder in a 1.5.1 release.

Minimum Server Requirements:

• * PHP 5.2.14 or higher, Apache 2.0 or higher, and MySQL 4.1.3 or higher.
• * Apache must be configured with AllowOverride set to either 'All' or at least both 'Limit' and 'Indexes' parameters, and preferably the 'Options' parameter as well.
• * PHP must be configured to support CURL with OpenSSL

RECOMMENDED server capabilities:

• PHP 5.3.5 or higher
• Apache 2.0 or higher
• MySQL 5.0.90 or higher
• and the Apache/PHP configuration settings mentioned above.

While Zen Cart® can run on Windows/IIS servers, Linux/Apache servers are recommended for best results.

Just fresh install zc 1.51 version on my server and test as frank18 suggested. Yes, no problem, I can log in without any problem.

For my site, it was originally for the zc 1.38 and recently upgraded to zc 1.51. It was running smoothly on php 5.2 or 5.3. but not on php5.4.......

I am suspecting that you still have some "left overs" from zc 1.3.8 in your upgraded zc 1.5.1 installation. The fact that you had no memory problems with a vanilla 1.5.1 install on the same server seems to confirm that theory.

Somehow somewhere your upgraded install is running into a loop which exhausts your memory - no matter how high you set the limit.

Do a thorough check of your file system or do a brand new re-build of your site with 1.5.1 which contains no traces of 1.3.8 code. Alternatively you could hire someone to do this job for you.

Cheers/Frank

The problem was solved when I chose "$add_session_id=false" in both seo.url.php and html_output.php. The insteresting thing is that the freshly installed zc 1.51 could work even when "$add_session_id=true" was chosen.

Is there any problem if I chose "$add_session_id=false"?

See my post above:

It would be a matter of finding these 1.3.8 remnants and eliminating that code - wherever it may be.

Is there any problem if I chose "$add_session_id=false"?

I am afraid I can't assist with an answer to that question.

The log I received was

[22-Nov-2013 13:14:55 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 746619897 bytes) in xxx/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 62

... the referenced line being the relatively innocuous

      if (defined('SID') && zen_not_null(SID)) {

Still having this issue. I don't know if use of the pre-defined constant 'SID' is part of the issue, based on the comment in this (http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.constants.php) page at php.net. My php.ini sets both session.use_cookies and session.use_only_cookies to 'On' and I have been refreshing the screen, trying to get past the login whitescreen, using FireFox 25.0.1.

If I make changes as you did "$add_session_id=false" then does it compromise my website security? Does it have any other side effects?
This blank screen problem really bothering me.
