make sure SSI.php is included before *anything* else in all your scripts!

http://www.translatum.gr/

It is loaded before anything else, but at times, and for certain users, it comes up with this error:

Quote''Notice: SSI.php was unable to load a session! This may cause problems with logout and other functions - please make sure SSI.php is included before *anything* else in all your scripts! in /home/translat/public_html/forum/SSI.php on line 160''

Are those users guests (or not logged in) or registered members? Do they belong to specific membergroups? Do they get the error when they log in (if they get the error as guests) and vice-versa?

What is your PHP version?

Does it happen only in the first page or two that they visit, or all the time?

Do those users see a PHPSESSID variable in the URL of the page that shows the error?

Does the error happen only in Firefox or IE or some other browser?

Hi Sarge,

Are those users guests (or not logged in) or registered members? Do they belong to specific membergroups? Do they get the error when they log in (if they get the error as guests) and vice-versa?
Does not make a difference. Error is displayed in page with ssi, not actual forum page - http://www.translatum.gr

What is your PHP version?
5.2.5

Does it happen only in the first page or two that they visit, or all the time?
First page, when you refresh, it usually dissapears!

Do those users see a PHPSESSID variable in the URL of the page that shows the error?
No

Does the error happen only in Firefox or IE or some other browser?
Both

Do you have local storage of cookies enabled in SMF?

spiros · March 11, 2008, 08:53:57 PM

Nope...

Orstio · March 11, 2008, 08:59:19 PM

Good.

Have you tried checking/unchecking the database driven sessions?

metallica48423 · March 12, 2008, 03:25:52 AM

also this may sound dumb but is this a different sub domain than your forum?

News:

make sure SSI.php is included before anything else in all your scripts!
