Re: Installation error -call to undefined function session_start

It seems session support is an optional extension library for PHP in FreeBSD. Did you install it?
If the system is complete enough, XOOPS should run.

Thanks for the info. The system is not from a hosting provider. It is a local system. Is there anything more specific I should look at in regards to enabling the use of sessions? I did load XOOPS sucessfully on a Windows system running APACHE, PHP, and SQL. I was hoping to run XOOPS on the FreeBSD system. Thanks.

Check also the documentation of your hoster about sessions. On some hosters you need to create manually a file or directory in your root to enable the use of sessions.

Contact your hosting company regarding this error.
Installation error -call to undefined function session_start
by bfalzarano on 2009/4/23 21:49:35

I have followed the steps outlined in the XOOPS installation guide. I launch the installer via http://myserveripaddress/xoopsrootdirectory but receive the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_start () in /usr/local/www/xoops/install/include/common.inc.php on line 40


It appears that index.php is called from the installer which then calles page_langselect.php

page_langselect.php then calls to include the file common.inc.php which calls a session_start function

I have tried to re-upload XOOPS followng the transfer steps and suggestions such as preserving the directory with no luck.

PHP version 5.2
FreeBSD 7.0
MySQL version 4.1.25


Please advise how to further troubleshoot this error. Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
-Bart
