Hi All,

I'm running Plesk and can't seem to login to my webmail with any of my users I create, anyone had this issue before?

What is the error message you receive while trying to login the webmail?

It just says "login failed", and the address bar has this "&logout_reason=failed"

Please do the following things:

1) Make sure that "session.auto_start" is disabled in php.ini. It should be session.auto_start = 0

Don't forget to restart Apache after php.ini will have been changed.

2) Check that directory /tmp has permissions 1777:

root@server [~]# ls -ald /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 13312 Jan 8 06:37 /tmp/

Let us know how it goes.

Sorry how do I do no. 1? Through ssh?

yes. Login to ssh, then locate the php.ini file by,

php -i |grep ini

Then, open the php.ini file and check the line session.auto_start

Ok I typed the command and got this
[root@as ~]# php -i |grep ini

Not sure how to save it, I am assuming I need to save this to my desktop to edit it?

It shows that the php.ini file is /etc/php.ini , now please proceed ;)

Not sure how to edit at file from within the terminal... :(

type in command line

nano /etc/php.ini

see that the pop server is listening on 127.0.0.1 I recently had this issue in plesk 8 :)

type in command line

nano /etc/php.iniI got this
-bash: nano: command not found

How do I see if the pop server is listening on 127.0.0.1, from within Plesk?

Ok guys well I did a Google search and made a bit of headway I used the vicommand... and got this
[root@as ~]# cd /etc/
[root@as etc]# vi php.ini

; About this file ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; This is the recommended, PHP 4-style version of the php.ini-dist file. It
; sets some non standard settings, that make PHP more efficient, more secure,
; and encourage cleaner coding.
; The price is that with these settings, PHP may be incompatible with some
; applications, and sometimes, more difficult to develop with. Using this
; file is warmly recommended for production sites. As all of the changes from
; the standard settings are thoroughly documented, you can go over each one,
; and decide whether you want to use it or not.
;
; For general information about the php.ini file, please consult the php.ini-dist
; file, included in your PHP distribution.
;
; This file is different from the php.ini-dist file in the fact that it features
; different values for several directives, in order to improve performance, while
; possibly breaking compatibility with the standard out-of-the-box behavior of
; PHP 3. Please make sure you read what's different, and modify your scripts
; accordingly, if you decide to use this file instead.

; Global variables are no longer registered for input data (POST, GET, cookies,

; you can use $_REQUEST["foo"] (includes any variable that arrives through the

; $_GET["foo"], $_POST["foo"], $_COOKIE["foo"] or $_FILES["foo"], depending
; on where the input originates. Also, you can look at the
"php.ini" 1071L, 38411C

search for the string session.auto_start in the file.

See http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html to know how to use vi editor

I can't work it out... Is there no way to save the file to my desktop and edit it? I tried to use the vi but it only seems to give me part of the file as above??

Still having no luck with the vi, I've tried to search but it keeps trying to insert string session.auto_start... as long as I keep typing ":q!" will I be killing the file?
