"Fatal error: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /www/gifafi/public_html/sessions) in /www/gifafi/public_html/libs/ubbthreads.inc.php on line 55"

Something going on with my sessions? I'm not sure what this means.

It looks like it is probably some type of path issue.

I realized that I have file-based sessions turned off on my server because I use a custom MySQL-based handler for my other site.

I think I can htaccess to change the setting for this directory, but I need to find the code.

This should help

Hrmm, don't see htaccess on that page anywhere. I guess I should mention that I want to avoid changing the server settings back since, as I understand it, it can be done through htaccess.

I think this is a valid example for your .htaccess (using the above directives):

Hrmm, tried dropping this into an .htaccess, no go thus far.

php_value session.auto_start 0
php_value session.save_path /tmp

I think I'm still missing something, I can't seem to find clear directions on how to do this. I might just have to get a new server.

I think you might need to add:

php_admin_value session.save_handler files

Woohoo, the following .htaccess file worked...



Just had to take out the admin part. Thanks Rick.

psh, it was my idea lol Glad to hear you got it working
