Hi

Very strange. I am hosting the website locally using Apache web server, with the latest releases of PHP and Perl.

PHP is working fine on the system. I can post OK to the guestbook by going to the localhost url.

However when someone attempts to log on from the Internet through www.thetruth.ie (which points to my own machine and IP) they are unable to sign the guestbook.

I have tried everything I know and do have some experience but cannot fathom this.

Have I missed something simple?

Would be very grateful for your response.

Best Wishes

Hi,

Disable session.auto_start in your PHP installation.

Hi

I have tried with both settings, session.auto_start enabled and disabled. Neither makes any difference. It is now disabled, though it was enabled when you visited the page.

Cheers

It's still on and that's the main problem:

If there are any other problems we can't be sure until the sessions aren't working as they should.

Sorry - forgot to reboot apache. They are off now

Thanks for your prompt responses!
