2: Cannot add header information - headers already sent

[Thema]

I've just installed YaBBSE at Amthia.net and I get this error:

2: Cannot add header information - headers already sent
(/AmathiaBoards/Sources/Subs.php ln 152)

Here is the output from phpinfo

Can you please tell me what is happening and why.

The forum is hosted on a Yahoo premium webhosting package with MySQL and PHP4.x

I suspect that the auto_prepend header, and footer files may be the culprits, but I can't find how to turn them off. I tried using minimal php within the files (it searches the local directory first followed by /include) and placing them where I expected PHP to find them, but no go.

Oh one more thing: CHMOD isn't allowed, but I think the platform is Unix, not IIS.

i can only see this error:

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_8be8429ca30e3182eb3510e88ef27980, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /AmathiaBoards/index.php on line 78

which, i believe, means that the session setting hasnt been configured properly in php.ini

Yeah I get that sometimes too, but it usually goes away again, leaving me with the original problem.

try to disable compressed output in Installed Mods Settings
and u might want to contact your host to fix the session settings

[Thema]

Okay I just did this to ModSettings.php with no effect whatever.

Code Select Expand


   $enableCompressedOutputChecked = ($modSettings['enableCompressedOutput'] == '0' ? ' checked="unchecked"' : '');


As for asking Yahoo to fix anything. You're welcome to try. As for me i prefer to tackle more probable possibilities.

err... u hosted it on yahoo?
if u cant go to the admin center, try this (attached) for fixing your mod settings
just unzip it, unload to your yabbse forum directory and run it
another way u can try is via phpmyadmin (if u have one)

I installed and used it fine.

Still no change

You'll have to ask Yahoo! how they want you to set up sessions.  On some servers you have to create your own directory for it.

I'm not concerned about sessions.
How does this affect my original problem with headers which seems to be being ignored in favour of a minor nuisance re: sessions?

I just added a couple of folders.
/tmp  for seesions.
/logs for... well for logs.

And now it seems that it all works. At least for the moment.

That's what I meant - if sessions are configured, it will work.

Sessions help keep your board secure.
Without them, anyone could get administrative access.  So don't shove sessions.

Yeah I get that now. Thanks for the help.
