session already started, then php ini

not allowed. so what do I do?

[httpwebwitch]

I have two seemingly incompatible systems here.

1) first is an ROI tracking program that uses sessions. It has this one global script that gets inserted before every page. To do that, it adds this to the .htaccess:

php_value auto_prepend_file "/exampledotcom/public_html/global_prepend.inc"

inside that prepended file, it starts a session using session_start().

2) second I have this bloggy CMS thing known as "drupal". It has a settings file which includes these lines:

ini_set('session.cache_expire',  200000);
ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'none');
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 2000000);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 200000);

Unfortunately, the two systems are clashing. (1) creates a session, then (2) tries to manipulate session settings. That's not allowed.

The error I get is this:

Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in /exampledotcom/public_html/beeswax/sites/default/settings.php on line 134

Is there anything I can do about this?

take those 4 lines out of drupal and put them in your auto_prepend file
