Cannot modify header information

I'm using vBulletin 3.6.8. All arcade.php pages are fine except when a game page is clicked on. The game comes up just fine, but at the top of the game page are the following errors. Can someone please help me? Thank you.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /PATH/public_html/forum/arcade/lang/lang_Arcade_en.php:1787) in /arcade.php on line 5309

I've discovered if I comment out the following from ARCADE.php

setcookie('gidstarted', '', time() - 3600);

setcookie('gidstarted',$id);

setcookie('tidstarted', '', time() - 3600);

setcookie('gpstarted', time());

the errors disappear. But how necessary are these four lines of code?


It's also frustrating that I'm not receiving a reply. I asked for help with this problem in this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...82#post1333982 where it sat ignored for more than three days. Is the same going to happen here?

Just for the heck of it, try turning OFF, but not DELETING. Just "INACTIVATING" your Welcome Headers and your EWT Spider Tracking. I know they are unrelated, but it might be tossing your cookies out on the floor and jumping up and down on them like a red headed step child throwing a fit.

Turn those off, close your browsers, reopen them, and see what happens.

Also, I assume you've viewed your site with BOTH IE & FireFox? Always good to verify issues are occuring on both platforms when troubleshooting. Helps funnel the issues to a solution.

Did all suggestions. Disabled both hacks and checked on IE and FF.

No change.



Here's a question. Could it be related to a Domain Name difference? My test forum is running on a difference domain name than my production forum. I moved a copy of my forum to this new domain for testing. I have checked to make sure all instances of the domain name are changed to reflect where the testing server is... but could there be something hidden somewhere that might be causing this?

Well, gonna have to let MrZ think about that one. I'm not sure. Only thing in my head is that its affecting another mod that might be tweaking things.

Since its a test forum, why not UN-INSTALL those other mods? I dunno. Running out of ideas here on the table tennis..

I hear ya, MortysTW.

It has to be something with my particular set up. There's only one other person on the forum that's mentioned this, so it's definitely not a wide spread thing. No worries. I'll just run the older version of the arcade on my production forum.

Maybe MrZ can have a look at some point in the future.

I really appreciate your help, MortysTW.

don't have an idea, must be related to anything about templates and html-output...

deactivated "mini navbar" and "welcome headers" ?

[Kirkus]

I deactivated "mini navbar" and "welcome headers". No change. I even went so far as to deactivate everything I had installed, including vbadvanced. Still no change.

Very odd.

[MrZeropage]

tried the vB-default-style ? with unchanged templates ?

[Kirkus]

Finally!

Who would've thought? When I did my upgrade to vB 3.6.8, etc., I uploaded all my files using my Mac. On a whim from the past, I recently re-uploaded all non-image files for my entire site using Windows. Not only are the header errors gone from my arcade pages, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that several other problems have been fixed.

I'd had this problem many years ago with a different forum, but it's not been a problem until this upgrade.

Not sure why it's popped up again now.

My thanks to MortysTW and MrZeropage for your attempts at helping me to troubleshoot this. Really... thank you both very much.

Do a search for LeachFTP and use that. It automatically flips between ascii and binary without you needing to know when to do what with what. That may have been the issue and wasn't so much a Mac/Windows thing as much as Mac had a default and Windows had a default which was opposite. Just a thought. Either way, glad you are working. Sorry I couldn't think of a solution quicker.
