eStore plugin breaks site – PHP Session error

[happycat]

Hello! I had trouple with bothe Simple PayPal Cart and eStroe – on differnet sites (thugh on the same server/hosting account)

On two sites, I removed Simple paypal Cart and the issue went away. On my site that depends on eStore, I downloaded the newest plugin, deleted the old one, and uploaded the new one. I thought it was cool, buty I customer told me nothing went into their cart…

I kept getting weird warning messages, and could not login. I moved all the plugins out of the main folder except eStore (via FTP), still got the same message. Removed eStore, message went away… anyway, I have been deleting and reinstalling plugins, trying to trouble shoot.

THis code is what I get when eStore is installed/ativated:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/home/users/web/b1844/moo.bulawayo88/cgi-bin/tmp/sess_73390cfaf6fedb2f8904a49cf3a2721a, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /hermes/web12a/b1654/moo.markovisionorg/stealicon/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/wp_eStore1.php on line 2

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /hermes/web12a/b1654/moo.markovisionorg/stealicon/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/wp_eStore1.php:2) in /hermes/web12a/b1654/moo.markovisionorg/stealicon/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/wp_eStore1.php on line 2

When I remove eStore, the code goes away. I have removed any possible conflicting plugins, and no luck.

when I reinstall the plugin and run ThreatScan I get this message:

Files:

/hermes/web12a/b1654/moo.markovisionorg/stealicon/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/lib/gateway/Authorize.php

169: $amount = doubleval($this->ipnData);

Possible problems found!

and at the bottom of page, I again see this:

Warning: Unknown: open(/home/users/web/b1844/moo.bulawayo88/cgi-bin/tmp/sess_73390cfaf6fedb2f8904a49cf3a2721a, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/home/users/web/b1844/moo.bulawayo88/cgi-bin/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

The PHP session is not configured correctly on this site. You need to contact your hosting provider and tell them to fix the session issue so PHP session works on your site.

Tell your hosting provider that the following error is generated when a plugin tries to start the PHP session. They will know how to fix it.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(path/to/session/file, O_RDWR) failed

Thanks! My hosting provider fixed it.

I’m at the same point, except my host –GoDaddy– cannot do anything on their end after attempts made with 3 phone calls. Is there any other way to fix this issue?

It is your hosting provider’s duty to give you a working web server (this is what you are paying them for). Godaddy is a little bad when it comes to shared hosting and support. Contact them again and tell them that you are getting an error when an application starts the session and they should understand. Sometimes it helps if you contact the tech guy because they understand the issue better.
