PHP.ini Issue on install

Hi there,
Once I was done extracting files, the main link
http://opencats.thejobswitch.com/ is not working. I get 'CATS Error: session.auto_start must be set to 0 in php.ini.' However, when I try
http://opencats.thejobswitch.com/installwizard.php, it worked just fine and went all the way to the end and installation was done. The main page gives this error, so I cannot log in.
Can you help, please? Many thanks in advance for all the help.
Regards
Surabhi

Hi Surabhi,
is do you have session.auto_start = 1 in php.ini for some particular reason?
It's considered 'best practise' to have it set to 0, and opencats requires it too.

Well Well.. i'm back.. they always come back..
Ok so i just grabbed the latest code and i'm getting this error also.
CATS Error: session.auto_start must be set to 0 in php.ini.
I confirmed with phpinfo and its set to 0..
BTW running Centos 6 for this build.

Hi Alain..
did you grab the code from Master or one of the releases? I guess you ran composer to get the dependencies (of course!). What version of php / mysql are you running?
...and CentOS 6?! That's a bit old
The 'normal code' check for that is in index.php, line 107;
Code: Select all/* Objects can't be stored in the session if session.auto_start is enabled. */
if (ini_get('session.auto_start') !== '0' &&
ini_get('session.auto_start') !== 'Off')
{
die('CATS Error: session.auto_start must be set to 0 in php.ini.');
}
..or the installation test is at line 212 in OpenCATS/lib/InstallationTests.php
Don't see why that wouldn't work - however if you're sure you have it set to 0 then comment it out

Is this your server - or a hosted install? I suspect your php version was just upgraded?

I see. By the way this is hosted server . I already check no upgraded activity for the php version. What else can I do?

If you check your php.ini file, please see if auto_start is set to 0 or not?

Hi RussH
What I do, I just remove 0 at auto_start in the index.php and my opencats can use as usual. Please refer attachment picture
If anything problem in future as I did?
