    Sounds like PHP does not have session support. Turn it on in the php.ini file, or ask your ISP to if your on a hosted system. Sessions documentation is found in the file.

    Re: installation issue

    More information:

    The above error is received after ATutor has been unpacked during the initial phase of install.

    I get to the screen after typing the following URL:

    "http://localhost/~jmcdonald/ATutor/"

    I am then redirected to the standard "not installed" URL below:

    "http://localhost/~jmcdonald/ATutor/install/not_installed.php"

    I then get the following message in the browser window:

    "ATutor 1.6.1 Installation"

    "ATutor does not appear to be installed. Continue on to the installation."

    When I click the link to "continue on to the installation", I am presented with the error message:

    "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_start() in /home/jmcdonald/public_html/ATutor/install/index.php on line 27"

    This is where I am stuck. Has anyone experienced this. I have verified that Apache2/PHP/Msql are running.

    Any help is greatly appreciated![b] [/b] [b] [/b]

    Like Greg has said, your session is not enabled.
