Difference between DF 9.0 and 9.0.2 - 9.0.3 handling cookies :: Archived

FrontRunner

I would like to know what the difference is between the old DF 9.0 and the versions above 9.0.2 handling the cookies. I ask this because when i do a complete clean install of a version above 9.0.2 i´m getting the allknown error

Code::

ERROR:

'Please enable cookies to post on this site. If you feel that you have reached this message in error please refresh the preceding page once and post again'

Removing the newer version and do a complete clean install of 9.0 doesnt give me the error.

I have checked the session.save_path in my php.ini and its set to /tmp so that shouldnt be a problem. Anyway i´m currious why a i´m getting the error as of version 9.0.2. and not below!

Your header is correct

So try the session test:

PHP:

<?php
session_start();
session_register('installtest');
if (!isset($_SESSION['installtest'])) $_SESSION['installtest'] = 0;
$_SESSION['installtest']++;
echo 'This page is accessed: '.$_SESSION['installtest'].' time(s)';

Reload this test script as many times as you need and see if the number increases Wink

No problems with the session test.

Tested it 30 times

Try it yourself: www.blauwroodlaan.nl/session.php

Hmm i see a problem it says

Code::

Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=c1dd11575f6d764d7f3fcf0c5ce11fa5; path=/

'PHPSESSID' should be 'CMSSESSID'

Try a slight modified version of that script:

PHP:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_name('CMSSESSID');
session_start();
session_register('installtest');
if (!isset($_SESSION['installtest'])) $_SESSION['installtest'] = 0;
$_SESSION['installtest']++;
echo 'This page is accessed: '.$_SESSION['installtest'].' time(s)';

FrontRunner

Counter runs, but i get this message

Code::

Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start() in /home/blauwrood/domains/blauwroodlaan.nl/public_html/session.php on line 4
This page is accessed: 8 time(s)

DJ Maze

There we go, just what i thought.
Somehow the server admin has setup PHP to already start a session, this is a most unusual behavior.

open config.php and add 2 new lines at bottom (above the ?> if that exists)

PHP:

session_destroy();
session_write_close();

You could also contact your host and ask them why they've setup the following in php.ini:

Code::

session.auto_start = 1

FrontRunner

That did the trick. Thanks DJMaze!!!

I will contact my hosting company and ask them why they want to hava auto start.

DJ Maze

I've added a fix for this odd behaviour in our session class.
If you use 9.0.3 you can download the patched file
cpgnuke.com/cvs/html/i...ession.php (revision 9.10)

Then you don't have to have your special config.php
