Error: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started..

*NOTE* If you're using Dreamhost, follow these instructions.

If you are receiving this error, there are a number of things to try:

1) Edit the .htaccess file in your root web directory and add this line to it:

PHP_FLAG output_buffering on

Save it and try again. If you now receive an Internal Server Error, remove this line from the .htaccess file and move on to the next method.

2) This involves creating a local php.ini file which will allow us to set this flag. However, we need to set a few more options along with it.

- Open up some sort of text editor. Notepad is fine.
- Paste the following in there:

output_buffering = On
zend_extension = ../ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
memory_limit = 100M
include_path=.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/bin/pear

- There are a few caveats to this, however. Depending on where you are uploading this file and which ioncube loader you are using, this line:

zend_extension = ../ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

may need to be adjusted. If you are placing this in a directory below the ioncube directory, you will need to keep the ../ in front of the line. However, if you are uploading this to the same directory in which the ioncube directory is, you will need to remove the ../ in front of the line.

Also, if you are using a loader other than ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so, an error message should show up telling which loader you need to use. Simply change the filename in the php.ini to match the one the error message says you need.

- Save that file as php.ini
- Upload this to the directory in which are you are experiencing the error (admin, install, any subdomain, or root web directory).

If this does not work, please e-mail support@fsrevolution.com detailing the steps you've taken and the error messages you are receiving.
