Thread

I am in the process of moving a site to a new server. I got everything moved over and have been able to load the home page, but the control panel is problematic and gives the following error when I try to log in:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /nfs/c07/h03/mnt/103645/domains/nu-living.com/html/path.php:29) in /nfs/c07/h03/mnt/103645/domains/nu-living.com/html/EjkbfeIt/core/core.functions.php on line 742

Any clues for a solution will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Forrest Anderson,

Can you please post the contents of your path.php file (disguising any sensitive information).

Cheers

Greg

Hi Greg,

Here is the code:

<?php

// ------------------------------------------------------
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = "./EjkbfeIt/";

// ------------------------------------------------------
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
// ------------------------------------------------------

$template_group = "";
$template = "";
$site_url = "";
$cp_url = "";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars =
array(
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = '/home/103645/domains/nu-living.com/html'
); // This array must be associative

?>

Please let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks.

Looks like you’re on MediaTemple now. What happens if you remove the $global_vars array for testing purposes?

Yes, I have moved the site to Media Temple.

After removing the Global Vars line, I get the following error when I go to the login page:

Here is the link to the login page: http://nu-living.com.s103645.gridserver.com/login.php

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /nfs/c07/h03/mnt/103645/domains/nu-living.com/html/path.php:25) in /nfs/c07/h03/mnt/103645/domains/nu-living.com/html/EjkbfeIt/core/core.functions.php on line 742

Let me know what you think. Thank you!

Alas, would it be possible to get some help on this. I have all four wheels up to the axle in mud since Friday. I can’t go forward and I can’t go back. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi, Forrest. I apologize for not being able to respond earlier.

What is login.php? Is it a renamed index.php file? Or the admin.php file with a different name?

Since you can’t get into the control panel to change things, can you edit your config.php to have the following:

$conf['user_session_type'] = "s"; 
$conf['allow_extensions'] = "n";

This will do two things: Change the login to Sessions only, and turn off extensions globally.

We aren’t wanting to keep those settings but just to get you into the control panel.

Does that help?

Hi Sue, thanks for getting back with me. I inherited this site from another developer and I am trying to figure some of these things out. I believe the login.php is a modified admin.php file. The point is to “hide” the control panel from most users - and it seems to be very effective. I will insert those two lines of code and let you know how it goes.

Thank you.

Alas, I still get the same error. It outputs the following error eight times:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /nfs/c07/h03/mnt/103645/domains/nu-living.com/html/path.php:25) in /nfs/c07/h03/mnt/103645/domains/nu-living.com/html/EjkbfeIt/core/core.functions.php on line 315

I would be happy to get rid of the Login.php file altogether if I can.

Are you on the most recent build? Have you tried re-uploading the files?

I’d even go so far as to do a fresh install on MT and make sure a new install works like it should, then put back in the older database.

Does that help?

I did upload a fresh install in the beginning to make sure the configuration worked properly, but I will take your advice and do a fresh install and then put in the old database. Success or failure, I will be back to report. Thank you for your assistance.

No worries, We’ll be here.
