Network Solutions + CMS Made Simple

[TTT_Travis]

Hi, I am unfortunately stuck with Network Solutions for my web host. I developed my site on my local server and then uploaded the files + db etc. to network solutions and got a lot of errors when I tried to view the site.


ERROR: The CGExtensions module could not be found.
string(106) "Smarty error: [in template:20 line 3]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'sitename' (core.load_plugins.php, line 124)".......ETC.


I created another folder with a fresh copy of CMSMS and opened the installer page and it had several errors, mostly memory and max size etc. which I fixed via php.ini. However I still have a warning with session path

Checking if session.save_path is writable
Your session.save_path is empty. PHP will use the temporary directory of your OS. If you have SESSION problems and ini_set works you can try to enable session cookies adding: ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1); to top of include.php

If I continue with the installation anyway I get:

SESSION not working, you have problem with some modules and functionality! Ask your provider, exiting

I tried setting the session manually in the php.ini but nothing that I tried worked.

The server appears to use CGI/FastCGI for PHP. Anyone have CMSMS running properly on Network Solutions?

Thanks,
Travis

Hello Travis,

SESSION not working, ... Ask your provider

This is not CMSms specific. Ask your provider about CMSms requirements.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your response. However, I feel this forum is still the best place to ask, Network Solutions is not going to be able to assist with specific issues like this.

I was hoping somebody here, that is familiar with the CMSMS requirements, might be able to shed some light on what needs to be changed to get sessions working properly. I can predict that Network Solutions won't be able to help me (they never can) and I'd really like to get CMSMS running on my host until I can switch to something better at the end of the contract.

Thanks,
Travis

Have you tried setting it via .htaccess?

php_value session.save_path "/path/to/your/cmsms/tmp/"

[solved] I ended up getting it working by changing the php.ini path settings, before I had tried just /tmp but it turns out it needs to be /server/blah/blah/blah/here/tmp relative to my folder on the actual linux server not on my FTP.


Thanks,
