EE4 errors on chrome on iPad only

Hi,

On my iPad 2 running Chrome, when I browse my web site (or try to use the admin functions), I get this error:

Warning: session_start(): The session id is too long or contains illegal characters, valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and ‘-,’ in /home/bsopca/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/core/EE_Session.core.php on line 247

I’ve tried clearing the cache but the error persists. Any ideas?

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thank you for reporting this, I have issued a ticket for the developers to investigate.

In the mean time you can disable WP_Debug and check that error reporting is disabled on the server to remove the Warning whilst the dev’s are investigating the cause.

Hi Mr. Burwell,

It turns out what you need to do is FTP in to your server and edit the php.ini file in the directory that has WordPress installed. You’ll need to change the line that sets display_errors to Off. Production sites should not have this set to On.

What may be happening when you browse with Chrome on iOS (although I wasn’t able to reproduce it) is chrome is possibly messing up the $_REQUEST somehow, it might be encoding or truncating the URL. The dev team is looking at this again to see if there’s any additional sanitizing that needs to happen before the session_ID gets set.

As an aside, you may want to have a look at the .htaccess file or possible the way the DNS is set up for your site. While checking into this, I noticed that if I enter bsop.ca into an address bar it does not resolve to http://www.bsop.ca/.
