Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie problem

Recommended Posts

As I was trying to find fixes for the duo problems of Admin .htaccess/.htpaswd and the default images that does'nt show, I unfortunately stumble on the error messages below and I am subsequently shut-out of the admin login. I can't log into the admin and I have tried several things but the error persist.

 

Please I will greatly appreciate anyone helping me out and letting me have a sound clue as to what might have indeed cause this error:

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/user/public_html/abd_admin/includes/configure.php:2) in /home/user/public_html/abd_admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 102

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/user/public_html/abd_admin/includes/configure.php:2) in /home/user/public_html/abd_admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 102

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/user/public_html/abd_admin/includes/configure.php:2) in /home/user/public_html/abd-admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 34

 

In addition, what does the /configure.php:2 mean.

 

Please somebody help me out.

Headers Already Sent

 

Click the link above for an explanation.

 

The problem is in /includes/configure.php (line 2)

 

The opening PHP tag:

 

<?php

MUST be at the very beginning of the file, no blank lines or spaces or other characters (seen or unseen) preceding it.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Thank you many times, germ. That's appreciated.

 

That just fixed the problem. That line space must have occured while I was trying some editing of the file (/configure.php).

 

Actually,the dafault icons and images in the admin and in the store do not show. That was why I edit the configure.php file to start with. The paths seemed to correct but the problem still persist.

 

Pls, I will appreciate if you can as well offer an insight into how to tackle and solve this problem. I have checked some suspected files, checked server info for any possible server side misconfig, but I cant just locate the problem.

 

Thank you germ.

If you want my help with the image problem you'll either have to post your URL or PM it to me.

 

I won't waste your time or mine by just guessing at the problem.
