Thanks again for replying.
The master value should not be an issue as the scripts will only look at
the local. However, since it uses a local php.ini the phpinfo shows
both the master and local values for session.auto_start as 'on'. I
tried adding session_start(); to the scripts and yes, that does work.
However, it brings up the question...why isn't session.auto_start
working on servers that run suPHP?
I looked into this a little further and it appears that the script is
not respecting the local php.ini for session control and instead wants a
hard php.ini path to look at instead. I put this line in his .htaccess:
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/joedro5/public_html
And it magically started working on both servers that run
suPHP...however, this problem is not reproducible on servers that run
plain old phpsuexec. I think this is worth reporting as a bug or
limitation of suPHP...not an major one, but just something to be aware
of
Thank you so much Greg for your help...I could not have figured this out
without you...I guess sometimes I need a different point of view in
order to push me in the right direction!
Thanks
