Error Message, How Can I Fix It?

[nwind]

If a user goes to a forum when not logged in, this message appears:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/nwind/public_html/jouster.com/forums/forumdisplay.php
Line: 9

Any idea what I need to do to fix it?

Thanks!

Lets do this, disable plugins via the includes/config.php file.

To do that open your includes/config.php file and below <?php add the following.

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


So it looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
/*=================================================  =====================*\
|| ##################################################  ################## ||
|| # vBulletin 4.2.2

Use a editor like notepad++ to edit any files, don't use Notepad or Wordpad.

If that fixes the issue enable plugins again by adding // before the line you added, then navigate to ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Manage Products and disable one mod at a time until you find the one causing the issue.

Once you find the culprit, post in that mods thread what the issue is, and maybe someone in that thread can help.

This is strange. Line 9 of forumdisplay.php is part of a comment block at the top of the file.

More than likely it is from a mod though.

Not unless he modified the forumdisplay.php file.

Sounds to me like that file is either corrupt, or not standard.

[ozzy47]

Yeah that is a possibility also Paul, I usually tend to forget people might play with them.

Looks the same as mine so what has been changed

[ozzy47]

We don't know, as the OP has not answered back.

Not sure if this will help

<div class="standard_error"> 
    <form class="block vbform"  method="post" action="login.php?do=login" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, 0)">
         <h2 class="blockhead">vBulletin Message</h2>
                      <div class="blockbody">
                 <div class="blockrow restore">Unable to add cookies, header already sent.<br />

            <div class="blockfoot">Culvers Shooting Page Forums</div>  
            </form> 
</div>

Maybe he has edited this template and messed it up
