Description: Hi,

We use PmWiki in a project Farm + 20 sites, using a SingleSignOn système. We need session (and session variables) to be activated as soon as possible within pmwiki.

Today at each time I upgrade I add session_start(); as the first line in pmwiki.php

Could it be possible to have this as an option, to activate or not the session_start ?

Regards


Answer 1: Just put session_start() as the very first line of local/farmconfig.php in the farm directory. This ought to be early enough for any application; PmWiki doesn't use any session variables prior to loading local/farmconfig.php (nor does it call any external scripts prior to loading the farmconfig.

Let me know if this works so I can close this issue. --Pm


I've started this test will keep you informed. Pm, I think you can close it, if I see issues I'll create a new PITT --Isidor


After a few days with this settings I can confirm it works fine, thanks Isidor
