Hello, world!

I am very new to ExpressionEngine. I am installing EE for the first time and everything seems to have gone fine until I decided to re-install the software with a theme called Overeasy. After selecting the theme in the installation process, everything works great except for the homepage. For some reason, on the index.php file, I have 3 errors showing up above the header. They read…

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/40/d317679338/htdocs/sarei/system/codeigniter/system/core/Exceptions.php:170)

These errors don’t seem to show at the top of any other pages… only the homepage. I have spent hours trying to figure this out but I am lost.

Any help would be appreciated! 😊

sdavis2702 - if you look at the instructions that come with the theme, you’ll see that you need to create a /cache folder at the root of your EE site, and set it to be writable. That should fix you right up.

I managed to read the first half of that sentence but somehow over looked the second half mentioning the cache folder. I’m good to go now. Thank you very much, Sue Crocker. I apologize for the inconvenience! 😊

No worries, I ran into a similar problem with a client. Glad I knew the answer. If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread..
