[Xerte-dev] Re: HELP - can't create new projects on techdis install

[Pat Lockley]

the code works
So when new template is ran something kills the session
So start with new template.php in website_code/php/templates
then new_template.php in modules/xerte

Comment out all of one to start with, see what happens, work out where the
session dies.
