Title: Warning: session_name() when running on different windows machine
Post by: paul_evc7 on March 17, 2020, 05:58:03 PM

Right now I have AbanteCart running fine on a windows 10 machine but because I need to collaborate I installed AbanteCart on another machine, configure database and XAMPP server but when running I keep having this error:

Warning: session_name(): session.name cannot be a numeric or empty ''in dir\public_html\core\lib\session.php" on line 89


Already tried different browsers and cleaning cookies and cache but nothing helps.
Another thing is that it always redirects to "public_html/static_pages/index.php" intead of "public_html/index.php"

This solved my problem thanks!
It would be nice to update requirements in the manuals page or specify PHP version because it says PHP 7.3+ Supported
