SSI...

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!

It's included first, and still not working the SSI is on a sub domain thought..

Can you tell us a bit more about the problem. Are there any errors in the error logs. What were you doing when it happened.

Did you include SSI at the very top of the file you want it to load in. It must be the first thing loaded before anything else to work.

Hi, SSI.php can pose problems if in a subdomain.

One thing to do is to go into the Admin CP> Server Settings > Cookies and Sessions and verify the following:

Enable local storage of cookies - unchecked
Use subdomain independent cookies - checked
Use database driven sessions - checked

Done that, still have the error.

Using HTML comments before including SSI is sending output to the browser before you're invoking SSI. It's the same as doing this:

Code Select

<?php
echo '<!-- Forum SSI -->';
require("/home/username/public_html/forum/SSI.php");
echo '<!-- End of Forum SSI -->';

The way that you're using HTML comments also doesn't make any sense. HTML comments are sent to the browser, whereas SSI is server side. Anyone viewing the HTML would just see this in your source:

Code Select



It makes more sense to use PHP comments:

Code Select

<?php
//Forum SSI
require("/home/username/public_html/forum/SSI.php");
?>

But even then it seems pointless, the code is completely self explanatory.

SSI needs to come first; make the very first line of whatever file you're editing have this:

Code Select

<?php require("/home/username/public_html/forum/SSI.php"); ?>
<!doctype etc blah blah
<head>

And so on.

xiCanadian · March 31, 2012, 01:21:59 PM

Code Select

<?php
//Forum SSI
require("/home/myusername/public_html/forum/SSI.php");
?>

I did that and I still get that error.

Is the page you're including SSI on itself included in any other page, with that other page being the page that's called?

Are you sure there is nothing output before you try to include SSI?

There should be no output before including SSI. This also applies for HTML. Even white space counts! Edit your file so that the very first character is the opening bracket (<) from you opening php (<?php) and requiring the SSI.php.

If it still doesn't work, my only other guess is that you have a funky hosting setup. I know some hosts out there (sometimes free hosts) will prepend things to your site's pages, sometimes to serve ads.

Assuming that your forum isn't also on the subdomain, try using your script in some other location, not on a subdomain, see if we can rule that out.

You would have to upload it somewhere and send me the link to it.

It is on a subdomain, and those don't help I still get errors.
