this is UNACCEPTABLE. It makes moodle unusable. could someone please help me to resolve this error. I cannot use moodle at all.
When I first installed moodle i never had this error. A few days later after playing around with the settings that's all i am getting now. I cannot launch my site seriously with this short of errors.
The other difference i noticed is that whenever i go to the login page - the username demo is typed in...this didn't happen before..or if it did it contained the username admin..
here is my site if anyone wishes to help

Hi Yanni
This could be a permissions problem. Check this thread (http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=46580#213615), and have a look at your permissions.

that's probably most likely it...my session folder permissions are set to 775 but for some reason it doesn't let me to change it to 777 - where all the other folders are set to 777...it just occured to me to try to create a new sessions folder - and this one came with the 775 permissions but now i could change it and did change it to 777...let's see whether this will work...
can you please tell me what other permission settings i need for the other folders?
thanks

Hi Yanni
If changing permissions is a problem, sometimes saving the session data in your database may avoid the file permission issue.
The setting is dbsessions and it is in Administration, Configuration, Variables, Operating System, dbsessions=yes.
See if this works first.

Dear Ken,
first of all many thanks for taking the time to help with my problem. Indeed I have tried to change that setting but i get another error when i change it and try to save my changes:
A required parameter (sesskey) was missing
i have no idea what that is or how to resolve. Regarding my original error when I clear my cookies things work fine again. But as I login and start working with moodle again it comes up at some point.
I could always re-install my moodle application (i am with lycos.co.uk and they have an easy uninstal/install process) but I dare the day that I would have developed my moodle content and have something like that happen to me again. So I would prefer to resolve this and find out what really went wrong since my first installation.
thanks

Have you tried to restart your computer or at least quit and relaunch your browser? The only time I see such errors is when I am accessing multiple Moodles on the same server, but reloging always fixes the issue for me.
If your problem persists, tell us the server and browser configuration as well as Moodle version.

this has to be a cookies and a permissions problems. there is no other explanation. the error message goes away the moment i clean my cookies but then it takes me back to the login screen. Interestingly enough the browser does not remember my admin username and instead it sets the username demo and some other password which don't work.
it will let me login just once once the cookies have been cleaned up but then at some point when there will be a need to call the index.php page it will bring up that error message. I tried setting the database sessions to yes - but it still gives me the sesskey error...and we are talking about a brand new install here with no tinkering at all...
regarding permission: my original folder is set to 775 -- then moodle folder is set 775 -- moodledata folder to 777 -- and sessions folder to 775 --this is blank by the way. For some reason i cannot change the permission settings of the 775 folders to 777 -- the only way to change the sessions folder to 777 is by deleting it and creating another folder with that name.
I am sure there has to be some short of an explanation for all these. I wonder if some change has taken place with lycos setup that created all these problems. I remember when i first installed moodle - a couple of weeks ago - it was all working fine.
thanx

Not only the permission but also owner/group of the folder have to be set correctly. If you can't change these yourself, ask your provider to do it for you.problems changing these have been discussed in the past, so you can try searching forums.
I just tried to create an account on your site and got the same error, so there is really a problem somewhere on the server. The errors at this stage should be recorded in the system log. Have you checked that? You can activate additional error logging by setting the debug on at the bottom of the variable configuration panel of your Moodle.

I have exactly the same problems. Additional I get the following error on a regular base as well: Your session has timed out. Please login again
The whole thing started while I started developing a course. I'am under the impression the problem got worse during course development. It now has reached a point where it practicly impossible to work with course. Logged in with a student account I have the same problems.
My website is hosted by Lycos (in the Netherlands) as well and I to installed Moodle using there One Click site functions.
My site is watersportcurssussen.happy-sailing.nl
At the Lycos controlpanel there is link for PHP feedback. They acknowledge there are problems with PHP sites and ask feedback from there customers. Unfortunately the error message is very vague. It would have been nice it there would have been an error code to provide to lycos.
I'am trying to developing commercial courses, but with these kind of problems it is impossible to make a living out of it.
So I'am desperatly looking for a solution. I'am wondering if other users, who use an other hostingprovider, experience the same problems.

Hi Henric,
I emailed Lycos customer support yesterday and they said they would forward this to their tech guys. I think they are the same people in UK and Holland so it would probably help if you emailed them to with similar problems.
I suspect it's something about their folder permission rights which they probably changed at some point and not so much PHP - unless knowledgeable people know better here.
If there are any MOODLE DEVELOPERS here it would be good to get involved and help us to get this sorted because Lycos is a big hosting provider which supports directly MOODLE by hosting it on their one-click installations - so therefore it is a really good host to promote moodle and it is really bad to have such problems.
I suspect their tech guys would need help from the more knowledgeable moodle tech guys/developers.
looking forward to further help and perhaps directo contact with lycos....
I copy their email.

I will inform Lycos in Holland about this problem as well.
However I'am not convinced this is a permisson problem. If you are not granted access to a resource, you never get that acces to that resource. I get the error more frequently than I used to do, but I do not get it always. I'am working on a course and I'am still able to update for example lesson pages. Sometimes it works fine, other times I have to try it several times, login in again as well, but in the end I do get the page saved. If this was a permission problem, my guess would be that it would not work at all.
I get the "required parameter missing" error as well, but usually after I got the server error first.
I do run a postNuke portal as well hosted by Lycos. In the admin section of this postNuke portal I get the warning that the directive "register globals" has been turned on. On the postNuke forums there is a waring that it should be turned off. Turning it on creates a potential security issue.
PHP documentation describes that this directive might affect the session handling functions of PHP as well. So I wonder whether Moodle expects this directive to be turned on or off. The default value changed fron ON to OFF as of PHP-version 4.2.0 Any Moodle devolpers out there who now the answer ?

The setting should be OFF. See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Security.
The php.ini file should be based on php.ini-recommended. The install instructions suggest you copy php.ini-recommended, which has this setting, and amend it as you php.ini file.

Yanni,
Last thursday I got a mail from Lycos that they solved the problem. Unfortunately they did not mentioned how the problem was solved. I know they did not changed the value of the directive "globals", it is still set to ON. That I could see using PHPINFO.
I have been using Moodle over the last couple of days and indeed, I do not get the problem once I have logged on. The funny thing is, I get it consequently now when I go the my website. It is annoying but I can still go to the login screen and login. The only way to prevent it is by deleting the cookies. I'am still not happy with it, but at least I can work on my course material.
I still have other problems like for example it is hard to change configuration settings. I often get the standard error page from the explorer that it is not able to display the page. Quite often the last items on the variables configuration page are not shown. When that happens it, is virtual impossible to save the changes. Sometimes I get the error "required session key is missing".
I also get warnings when I make a backup. So far I have not been able to restore a backup in a different domain running another Moodle site either. This also is a worry to me.
So Moodle on the Lycos site still is not working perfectly.
Did you heard anything from Lycos UK ?

Hendrik

Hi Hendrik,
Problems seem to have subsided on this end too. I haven't done that extensive testing yet to see whether I get any of the errors you mentioned but I have also been able to setup up things and work on putting courses together without errors. But it is very likely to have all the problems you mentioned. I just haven't had the time to do any extensive work on it yet.

Maybe it's worth finding out whether the dutch and the UK webservers are the same. I still think the Moodle development team should get in touch with the Lycos tech team to make sure everything works fine - only because Lycos is a big web host and make it really easy for people to install and use Moodle.

Dear Yanni,
I got a similar reply. I did mentioned to Lycos Holland that one of there customers in the UK had the same problem. I would expect that the Lycos support staf use a service management system accessible to all support staff independ of the country they reside. Changes are quite big both your and mine problem ticket have matched and solved at the same time applying the same solution.
I did ask them to supply me with details of the solution but so far I have not heard from them again.

I was getting this error constantly while testing moodle 1.6 and finally figured out what was going on!
We had moodle 1.5 running on our server as well as a freshly installed moodle 1.6 (who's database we upgraded from the existing live 1.5 moodle).
we had ourserver.com/moodle as our live site
and ourserver.com:8000/moodletest as our test site
Every time we entered certain courses on the test site, it would give us the above session error and kick us out. This happened mosty when we tried to turn "editing mode on" in a course.
We discovered that this occurs if the course has an image on its front page (html content in "summary" field in mdl_course_sections table ). The problem is these images don't use relative links, so on our test moodle we had images loading on the front of courses pointing to ourserver.com/moodle/file..... every time I hit "edit mode" it tried to read that file on the OTHER moodle... causing a session conflict and kicking me out.
I did a general search replace on the entire mdl_course_sections table so all files point to the new test moodle location... problem SOLVED! no more sessions going away
in postgresql there is a built-in function:
UPDATE mdl_course_sections set summary=replace(summary,'ourserver.com/moodle','ourserver.com:8000/moodletest');

I get this problem every now and then, usualy when I have been left Moodle and the session has indeed timed out - but not every time.
I have two basic solutions:
1. Clear ALL the Moodle cookies and restart the browser before attempting to login to Moodle again. If that does not work then..
2. I use dbsessions in the MySQL database, I use MySQL admin to go in and delete the session information for the effected user, and still clear cookies and restart browser - this can't be done by an ordinary user, but then it has never happened to anyuser other than Admin.
A more permanent solution would be good, but this gets me back in every time.

You say you use dbsessions in the database to delete the session for the affected user. Care to elaborate? I can access the db with MySQL admin but the only entry I see the remotely resembles dbsessions is called mdl_sessions2 and I'm clueless as to how to find or delete session information for a user.
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi Daniel,
In Moodle 1.8 go here:
admin > server > session handling > "Cookie Prefix"
put something in the Cookie prefix field that is different for each of your moodle sites, and it should improve the issue with multiple sites on the same url.
Can't remember the "exact" navigation path to this setting pre 1.8 - but it's there in the admin pages somewhere...
good luck.

Hi Evan,
- normally sessions are stored in your moodledata/sessions folder - what exactly is the problem you are experiencing?
the mdl_sessions2 table is used to store sessions in the Database (disabled by default) - the dbsessions setting enables this. - in Moodle 1.8 the setting can be found here:
Admin > Server > "session Handling"
the setting "Use database for session information"
good luck!

This would be solved by clearing cookies and i need to refresh page or need to click on continue button shown below that error message.
I am running this moodle using xampp server
I dont know how to resolve it.
I think i need to give full rights permission to user created page but io dont how to give it from command prompt.

More often than not it comes down to permissions on your moodledata directory. Exactly what to do depends on what your OS is, if you are on a host etc etc

for time being i have corrected it by commenting one redirect line in file moddle/lib/moodlelib.php. it is working fine.But i think it is not a correct solution.
function report_session_error()
{
.........
....
//redirect($FULLME, get_string('sessionerroruser2', 'error'), 5);
}
function report_session_error()
{
.........
....
//redirect($FULLME, get_string('sessionerroruser2', 'error'), 5);
}

This is valid as of now .. but need to closely watch this .. did u check that the disk space which is having enough space to store the session files or is it spilling over?. have u checked the creation of session files after commenting this line coz there should not be a mess up after this .try to do a impact analysis also.

Huh?
We'll need more explanation about the problem. What do you want clarified. If there is an error, what is it?

Well, most probably this is the fault of your server administrator. The problem is that your server is accessible from both http://www.bipolarlab.com/academy/ and http://bipolarlab.com/academy/, this can not work! You must add permanent redirect to one of these sites in apache config.
This issue is already addressed in 2.0dev, it will complain very loudly in order to prevent similar problems.
Petr
PS: please DO NOT use $CFG->usesid = true;, this setting is not secure because it allows session fixation attacks on your site.

Firstname, lastname and email are mandatory when creating a new user.
I don't know if this answers your question?

this is UNACCEPTABLE. It makes moodle unusable.
I know that this post is millions of years old but that initial post really annoys me every time I see it. It's stupid on so many different levels.
Just venting

Hola, recien comienzo a usar moodle...
lo instale localmente y me funciono muy bien...pero cuando lo instale en el hosting...
No podia entrar al admin de moodle...y me indicaba el siguiente error
A server error that affects your login session was detected. Please login again or restart your browser.
Me di cuenta q en config.php estaba mal la ruta a la carpeta moodledata y cuando se creeo la carpeta el nombre estaba mal...y por eso no pudo crear el resto de carpetas q contiene moodledata (como lo son sessions, user, temp,cache,lang)...de modo q no podía crear la session y no entraba al moodle como admin...
la forma correcta es,
$CFG->dataroot = '/home/example/moodledata';
(fuera de la carpeta public)
Ahora, lo que hice fue crear la carpeta moodledata, manualmente...y copie el contenido que tenía en la carpeta del localhost, y listo reinicie el navegador...coloque el usuario y clave y entre al área de administrador de moodle
Espero les sea útil...
