strange 

I am getting the same problem - after porting a site over to a hosting environment which has phpSuExec
i can confirm that the index is patched correcty as its the same one used on the non phpsuexec host where everything was working

also php.ini includes
session.save_handler = files
session.cache_limiter = nocache

when the site is frist accessed its OK, if I follow the link to the forum then the problems start

it looks like a session problem then, probably something I need to add to my php.ini file

anybody sorted this one before ? 

When you activate SEF in Joomla! Did you also modified the Htaccess file?

still having troubles
i tried the hack but it just caused an SQL failure which I thought it might
have attached my index which i use without problems on other sites with no phpsuexec
any ideas ?
 

OK, I have checked the forum and tried all tweaks and tips, stripped down my joomla install (removing other index.php hacks) and even used the supplied Joomla 1.0.12 prepatched index.php and I cannot get JSMF to work, even though it worked just fine for me on a non phpsuexec environment.

I have CHMODED the index.php for Joomla and SMF and the subs file to 755 making sure they were writeable (777 will cause failure on phpsuexec).

No matter what method I use I still have problems, using a manully created file I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/windley/public_html/index.php on line 332

Which points here: $jsmf->restorePostMessage($savedVars);


With the Joomlahack supplied index.php file I still get the following error

Fatal error: Unknown(): The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition jsmffrontend of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ the session was started in /home/windley/public_html/index.php on line 68

Which also points here (not surprising: $jsmf->restoreVars($savedVars);

The hack above does not resolve the situation, I have checked permissions and used the prepatched index as well as a maually created version and still it fails with the same errors.

I have a .htaccess fle and a php.ini only in the top level directory - I am unable to move my hosting account until I get this one resolved.

Thanks for reading this and I apreciate any constructive advice.  Could this be more related to server coniguration?

Still can't get this things sorted - I have searched and tried all sorts - I am about to give up and look at porting over to another forum.

One last cry for help to somebody who might know how to fix this one - the only difference here is I am on phpsuexec - everything else worked from the original site that was not on a phpsuexec platform ?
