On my production boxes I am still running apache 1.3 / php and postgresql with no problems. I decided to start working with my amd-64 and have had grief. Using SuSE 9.1 it only has apache 2 on the dvd. (To put apache 1.3 on the box I reckon I would have to compile). Ok, I had a brief fling with 2 some time ago so it should be no problem. Get apache going and then the pages which used to work fine I now see the following: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_start() in /usr/share/php/includes/config.osca.inc on line 2 Fire up phpinfo and I don't even see sessions enabled anywhere. Did I miss something or were sessions disabled in what suse shipped? And if disabled, how can I enable (bet its recompile) --- Dr. Roy F.
