session_start() "kills" page

[dough boy]

Ok...I am having a noob moment.  The site runs fine on one box (via domain), but when I setup the site on another box that uses an IP, the site "spins".  So I started going line by line to figure out why.  When I uncomment out the session_start(), the site loads perfect.  When it is left in, the page just "spins" and nothing is loaded.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks for the help.

Add this before the session_start() line

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);

 

make sure you will get the errors displayed to the screen.

I already had error reporting turned on, but I added your line immediately above it.  It did not work.  I uncommented out session_start(); and it spins.  Put  # in front of it, and the page loads.

What you do you mean by "spins"? Do you mean the page continues to load and displays nothing?

[dough boy]

Yes. In Firefox the tab has the clockwise waiting circle and Loading...  Then in the status bar it says Waiting for IP Address...

more then likely... thats not your issue... put exit; after it... it'll prolly stop... then continue down the file again...

Tried that and still nothing.

 

I wonder if it has something to do with the box I am on.

 

<?php
# If Internet Explorer for exporting purposes need to change the Session Cache
if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE')) {
		session_cache_limiter("must-revalidate");
}

# Start Session and the Session ID
#session_start();
$_SESSION['id'] = session_id();

# Log user out if requested
if($_GET['logout'] == 'y') {
	@session_destroy();
}
?>

 

Again by removing the # from in front of session_start(); the page spins.  As soon as I remove it, everything works hunky doory.

Well i tried it with

#session_start();

and with

session_start();

 

works both times...

<?php
session_start(); // have you tried starting it here?
# If Internet Explorer for exporting purposes need to change the Session Cache
if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE')) {
		session_cache_limiter("must-revalidate");
}

# Start Session and the Session ID
#
$_SESSION['id'] = session_id();

# Log user out if requested
if($_GET['logout'] == 'y') {
	@session_destroy();
}
?>

 

Have you tried starting the session before the cache limiter ???
