Cannot start session when headers already sent about tabby HOT 5 CLOSED

from tabby.

Hi there. This is an interesting bug (or at least it sounds like a bug). I think I know what might be causing it, but I'm surprised that you're running into this. Perhaps it only causes issues when using mod_fcgid or with specific PHP configuration.

Since I'm not 100% sure how to replicate this issue, it would be nice if you could perform a basic change for me in the code to see if that resolves your issue. Based on your GitHub profile, I'm hoping you'd be able to, but if not then let me know and I will try to find another way. Could you edit index.php and swap lines 149 and 150 (so the include of resources/init.php before the include of templates/header.php). Could you let me know if that fixes the issue? If not, then let me know if you get any other errors in your logs or if any behaviour changes. Thx!

@bertvandepoel Ah, thanks for your reply! I hadn't seen your message until just now, and I already tested the fix you suggested and have made a pull request. So please disregard my note in the PR about "whether you'd like to investigate further." :)

My host's PHP config is probably causing the error, by the way, it is a little unorthodox. :)

No problem! I'm actually surprised that on my two setups, as well as those of other users, this is not a problem. In the past (at least when I started in the day with PHP 4), you couldn't have any output (buffered) before running session_start, clearly now it's sometimes allowed.

Thx for the PR, but I would also need to adapt init.php and I want to check if there are any similar cases out there that could cause issues, so I will probably make a commit myself if you don't mind.

Have you checked if you have any other issues on other pages?
