Sorry I did not notice this myself. iPower do have a phpsessions directory setup by default but it was in the server root not the document root (i.e. one level too high). I suspect this was because we have been hosting with them for 10 years or more and their configuration has changed a lot in that time, as have the hosted php versions. Resetting the session directory in php.ini to correct directory (i.e. document root/phpsessions) solved problem. Captcha now also works as expected. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/session-expired-on-form-submission#post-17163 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:49:58 +0000 yuniar 17163@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Can you let me know the URL to the page where you embed the form please? </p> <p>Or you can send it to:<br /> <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/contact" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/contact</a></p> <p>I'll check it. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/session-expired-on-form-submission#post-17139 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:01:56 +0000 zforray 17139@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Did you check for PHP versions/compatibility? Do you have access to PHP.INI to check settings? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/session-expired-on-form-submission#post-17135 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:59:13 +0000 pohopetch 17135@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>On a newly installed Machform 3 I get the message "Your session has been expired. Please start again." on form submission. I have tried the javascript and php form file code imbedding options. I have also moved the automatically generated &lt;?php session_start(); ?&gt; code to the very top of my page source as there was some other php code on the page. Using php 5.3. </p> <p>I also find that none of the captcha options work - i.e. if I enter the correct letters it keeps coming back with an error saying I have not completed the captcha entry correctly. I suspect this is connected to the session problem.</p> <p>Thanks for your help </p>
