Title: [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] e-commerce activation problem Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] e-commerce activation problem * [crowdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crowdesign/) * (@crowdesign) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/) * I have installed wp e-Commerce. There is a problem though. * This is a brand new install of wordpress 2.7. I was hoping to use this as a digital product store. When I activate the eCommerce plug in I get a bunch of errors that show up on the page above the wordpress header and below the wordpress footer. The messages that show up on the page are: * ABOVE HEADER * Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/php-ses/sess_bef5e61f5791f64662efea5d933ecfcc, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /nfs/cust/6/8/0/crowde/creativestore/ wp-content/plugins/wp-shopping-cart/wp-shopping-cart.php on line 165 * Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /nfs/cust/6/8/0/crowde/creativestore/wp-content/plugins/ wp-shopping-cart/wp-shopping-cart.php:165) in /nfs/cust/6/8/0/crowde/creativestore/ wp-content/plugins/wp-shopping-cart/wp-shopping-cart.php on line 165 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /nfs/cust/6/8/0/crowde/creativestore/wp-content/plugins/wp-shopping-cart/wp- shopping-cart.php:165) in /nfs/cust/6/8/0/crowde/creativestore/wp-includes/functions. php on line 698 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /nfs/cust/6/8/0/crowde/creativestore/wp-content/plugins/wp-shopping-cart/wp- shopping-cart.php:165) in /nfs/cust/6/8/0/crowde/creativestore/wp-includes/functions. php on line 699 * BELOW FOOTER * Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp/php-ses/sess_bef5e61f5791f64662efea5d933ecfcc, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0 * Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp/php-ses) in Unknown on line 0 * These are not error messages that come up in a separate window. They actually show up as part of the page, both on the dashboard and on the blog itself. I currently have eCommerce deactivated. I would like to know if I am going to be able to use this plug-in, or if I am going to have to use eShop or ZenCart instead. * Thanks, * Kerry Crow Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [crowdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crowdesign/) * (@crowdesign) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/#post-948103) * I also installed and activated eShop and had the same problem with it. When I activated the Askimet plug-in that came with 2.7 there were no activation problems. * Any idea why the shopping cart plug-ins are not working? * Kerry * [farmrchrys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/farmrchrys/) * (@farmrchrys) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/#post-948326) * Try the help forum on the authors’ home website for the plugin: [http://www.instinct.co.nz/forums/](http://www.instinct.co.nz/forums/) * [macropiper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macropiper/) * (@macropiper) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/#post-948380) * This is probably a problem with the configuration of PHP sessions by your hosting provider. I suggest you contact them to get it fixed. * Anonymous User * (@anonymized-3085) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/#post-948381) * The only time I see people reporting this error with eShop is when there is a hosting issue with regard to PHP Sessions as Macropiper has said. * Thread Starter [crowdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crowdesign/) * (@crowdesign) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/#post-948399) * Thanks, * I will try to contact my host service and see if they can trouble shoot the issue. * [cheaveasna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheaveasna/) * (@cheaveasna) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/#post-948528) * Hello, I have done successfully! add this code: to header of all files of your web site folder that use variable $_SESSION. Note: 1- replace “your home directory path” with your real path of your server that stored session before add to all files. 2- to find how many files have $_SESSION, you have to find all by using this key word “$_SESSION” * Good luck * [cbsantoso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cbsantoso/) * (@cbsantoso) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-e-commerce-activation-problem/#post-948537) * hello cheaveasna, * thx a lot.
