[wiki] I found out why Textbook login doesn't work
I tracked down the cause (boy that was fun), but I don’t know why it is happening (and so, how to fix it). It is all down to this:
session_start();It is failing to get anywhere, causing PHP to timeout.

That’s great @Mary.
I admire your ability to track down these Critter Bugs.

Re: [wiki] I found out why Textbook login doesn't work
It’s amazing how there is absolutely nothing in the error logs. The session files get created but nothing seems to be put in them.

Re: [wiki] I found out why Textbook login doesn't work
I got the PHP error logs working, and we see this:
PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot find save handler mm in Unknown on line 0
Which is odd, because we’ve got PHP configured to use files, not shared memory. I found this: MediaWiki, PHP 5.2 and Solaris 10
So perhaps if we can get Apache restarted it’ll pick up what it is supposed to be doing?

Re: [wiki] I found out why Textbook login doesn't work
I sent Fillip a note see if he can restart Apache for us. How did you get the error logs to finally work?
I really appreciate the help I’m not very familiar with Textdrive’s setup and Robson was completely different.

Re: [wiki] I found out why Textbook login doesn't work
Heh, I sent him one too. :D Nothing like having bleary-eyed zombies coming after you, only instead of “braaaains” it’s “Fiillliiiippp”. ;p He’s probably quite sick of hearing from me by now, since I’ve been having problems with dev.textpattern.com too.
You have to go Services > PHP 5 Configuration > Error Logging. I defined a separate log file for them, and made sure that the “All errors and warnings” box was checked. It says “Error types to display” but it doesn’t really mean that, since another option turns off error display.
After fixing the easily correctable errors that were popping up in the Apache error log, I turned that error logging off. No sense having it fill up with the login errors. We can turn it back on once we’ve fixed that.
Yeah, I understand. I was on an old BSD box too, and I just finished migrating my site to one of the new shared Accelerators, so I quickly became a little more familiar with where everything is now.

Re: [wiki] I found out why Textbook login doesn't work
Funny I tried setting up the error logging stuff like that to and I was getting nothing. Well at least it started logging.

How’s this going?
I was converting txp:tags to DokuWiki, I had my cut and paste routine down going into the edit page, now I can’t sign on.
