<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We appear to have a bug in the installer that is on Github (and presumably in the wild). I have logged two issues on Github and think it relates to a bug that I’ve seen in the Forum.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are trying to start the session AFTER content has been sent on a number of pages so I think it will break all new setups. This gives us the first error.

<p class="MsoNormal">Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /Users/xxx/Sites/XOT_WORKING/setup/page_password.php:3) in /Users/xxx/Sites/XOT_WORKING/setup/page_password.php on

<p class="MsoNormal">But then, after moving the session_start() to the beginning of the file and going through again, I get this<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sure someone else got this also…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I revert back to the beginning and do an XAMPP install instead of a full install then it appears to work fine so there “might” be an error in the full server setup routines when used to install to XAMPP.<o:p></o:p></p>
