What you should do first if you have problems!!!

[Oliver Georgi]

1. check your PHP Version - recommend > 4.3.0
2. is safe_mode on -> recommend safe_mode Off
3. register_globals should be set OFF
4. check permissions -> try to set every folder/file to 777 if problems still exists
5. proof your path settings in conf.inc.php -> and if you post error messages related to file not found, permissions and so in - post the content of your conf.inc.php WITHOUT username/passwords
6. have you downloaded most current version of phpwcms
7. check your GD-version if no ImageMagick installed: GD1 produces bad results.
8. Please post good description and what you have done or not
9. Post in English or German.
10. Do not Email me - try the forum first!
11. I don't know

12. Allways post your php.log / webserver.log OR/AND the failure Message on a support request
13. Post which Webserver and OS you are running
14. Use the forum search to see, if there's allready a workaround existing for your problem

So you could help yourself maybe faster than we can here in the forum

Cheers,
Florian

If you have PHP's SAFE_MODE ON and you cannot change to Off then you have to create the user specific file folders manually.

Inside phpwcms_filestorage create as many directories like you have users. Each dir has to be named like user's ID: the ID is only an integer beginning with Number 1 and so on...

The problem is: when you create a dir in php safe_mode on it will get user wwwrun - but you do not have permissions for user wwwrun

15. Be aware that PHP >= 5 does not support MySQL by default as earlier versions did. Reason.

Hi Oliver,
the comment in my standard php.ini (powweb) reads:

; trans sid support is disabled by default.
; Use of trans sid may risk your users security.
; Use this option with caution.
; - User may send URL contains active session ID
; to other person via. email/irc/etc.
; - URL that contains active session ID may be stored
; in publically accessible computer.
; - User may access your site with the same session ID
; always using URL stored in browser's history or bookmarks.
session.use_trans_sid = 0

What now? And if it not a problem, should I set it to 1?

Thanks, Hans

No - as I could test over the last weeks there is no need to set session.use_trans_sid On. You can try if you have problems with session register or login or something like that.
