session_start() can only be called once (obviously if it is already started you cannot start it again).  I have not used the specific application you refer to, however it is likely that you are using an include() or require() directive that contains another session_start() command or your PHP settings are such that a session is automatically started for every page.  You can get some more info here:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#ini.session.auto-start

 

Certainly the "short answer" is to comment out line 2 in session.php...but that is probably NOT a good idea.  More likely, look at the actual page url that you have loaded (whatever your browser's address bar days when you have the error) and read the code of that php file.  Comment out the session_start() line on that file so that your session.php file can hangle your entire session (i don't know what that file does exactly, but this was a guess based on teh filename).

 

Hope this helps.

just change all of your session_start(); --> @session_start(); it'll supress all the errors that may give... then, sessions still active, and everybody's happy

I have been having this issue forever and could never figure out how to fix.  Thanks for the easy fix.  I'm a newbie and I appreciate the easy fast solutions.

also only put <?php before session start() no other coding or gives an error
