Please help with this error: Warning: Unknown(): A session is active.

[Rea]

Hi!

I've searched high and low for this on the net but stil haven't found an
answer.

I'm trying to install both postnuke and xoops on a win2k server with php
4.3.3. and mysql installed.

Both applications are loading terribly slow. When the page finally has been
rendered I got the following error:

Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session
module's ini settings at this time. in Unknown on line 0

Is it a bug in PHP? Has it something to do with the fact that I'm running it
at win2k?

Since I think it has something to do with sessions, I attach a snapshot of
the results for phpinfo()

Directive Local Value Master Value
session.auto_start Off Off
session.bug_compat_42 On On
session.bug_compat_warn On On
session.cache_expire 180 180
session.cache_limiter nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain no value no value
session.cookie_lifetime 0 0

session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440

Look for ini_set(*blah*) in the script. That 's where the ini settings are
being changed. Try moving that to before session_start() which is higher up
in the code apparently.

It will be slow forever.
It is terribly bad written PHP, nothing is optimized, and it uses to
many resources.
Especially the use of GD lib is badly programmed.
