Hi,
When I activate the shopping cart in WP [2.8.6. ] I get the following code appearing at the top of every page on http://www.mcsherry.ie :Warning: session_start(): open(E:\php_sessions\sess_409e8c3488479755b5e973f0c3199c2d, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in E:\hshome\kevin897\mcsherry.ie\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-paypal-shopping-cart\wp_shopping_cart.php on line 22
Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at E:\hshome\kevin897\mcsherry.ie\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-paypal-shopping-cart\wp_shopping_cart.php:22) in E:\hshome\kevin897\mcsherry.ie\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-paypal-shopping-cart\wp_shopping_cart.php on line 22
I contacted my hosting service who say that I'm using PHP v5 and suggested that there might be a problem with the plugin code:
This is what they wrote:
>>Further to our conversation, I have had another look into this with a colleague and we have spotted a problem with the plugin that is giving the errors.
The first error that is visible relates to the PHP command 'session_start()'. This command needs to be right at the start of the file that is using it so that it is the first thing being executed. If it isn't at the start then it will cause errors like this.
We don't support scripting issues so I cannot advise exactly how to fix this. If you are not comfortable making changes to the script yourself then the recommendation that I would give to resolve this is to either contact the author of the script to check it over or to use a different plugin.
Should you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
Kind Regards,<<Logically, this can't be right as I presume that this plugin is working fine elsewhere on other people's web sites.
I hope somebody might be able to help.

You gotta love some hosting companies :)
Yes the session_start() needs to be the first line in a script but if you look properly you will see that it is the first line (the other stuff is comment so it doesn't count).
The main error here is the following:
Warning: session_start(): open(E:\php_sessions\sess_409e8c3488479755b5e973f0c3199c2d, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in E:\hshome\kevin897\mcsherry.ie\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-paypal-shopping-cart\wp_shopping_cart.php on line 22once you take care of that the other one will go away automatically. Basically, something is wrong with your session save path or something so when it's trying to save it in the session it's failing.
I can't tell you for sure but it's something around fixing your session save path in the PHP.ini file or adding a tmp directory for session. Your hosting provider should know this if they don't this Instructions might be of some help:

Hello,
I'm having an installation problem. When I install and go to view the menu for the plugin, it's not visible.
All I have is "WP Shopping Cart" link under the "Settings" Tab.I get a message "The plugin does not have a valid header".
Can you help?
Thanks, :-)

Hi, This happens when you upload the plugin directory that does not contain the plugin files directly inside it. Common cause for this is when you unzip the file it creates a directory inside a directory.
Step 1: Delete what you uploaded.
Step 2: Follow the video tutorial on this page to install the plugin:http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart-plugin-768

Hi. First, thanks for a beautiful, simple, easy to use PayPal integration plugin. I've been fumbling with opensource CMS options for a couple years, but still consider myself pretty much a noob since I don't spend a lot of time reading or rewriting code. The automation of so much of WP has been a blessing.
My question is a simple one... I uploaded the WP e-commerce plugin first and like the way it displays Products, etc., but by default products are directed to its built in Paypal payment gateway. I've looked all over the settings and can't find a place to override the default and install the Simple Paypal option. Is this something that should be done in the code instead of the preferences?
Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

@Shadygrove, Looks like you are using the Instinct's "WP e-commerce" plugin.. this forum is not for "WP e-commerce" plugin. Please try the forum of "WP-e-commerce" plugin for your question.

@admin007 thanks for your reply. my issue is that i like the simple paypal shopping cart interface and i like the instict wp e-commerce ability to create "product" pages. i am wondering if it's possible to merge the two and if so, how? barring that ability, i am wondering if there is an additional 3rd party plugin that simply allows me to create new posts as "products" instead of pages or blog style posts. ideally, i'd like to have each product have it's own page and a "catalog" style products page. instinct's shopping cart provides this, but their shopping cart interface itself is much less appealing to me than the one designed by you guys.
thanks again for your efforts in all regards.

You can use both these plugins (wp-ecommerce and simple wp shopping cart) on the same site but they cannot be integrated.

got it. well, i don't know why i didn't see this, but i just found the part on the simple shopping cart page where it had a default "products" page... Products Page URL... guess that's all i was trying to create all along... can't believe i didn't see that earlier when i was scouring the settings... thanks for your time.
