Hey Jan,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've tried to login several times in your site, but I can't reproduce this error.

By the way, based on the error message, it actually detect the current login user session still exist so it show out this notice message, I believe that was your site cache issue.

To test this, you can temporary disable your site cache then re-test again.

If the error still persist, perhaps you can set your error reporting to NONE, or open this file JoomlaFolder\libraries\joomla\session\session.php 


// LINE 665

		session_start();



// Replace with

   if(!isset($_SESSION)) 

    { 

        session_start(); 

    }

Hope this will help.

Thank you Arlex,
i disabled cache (option and system plugin) and the error dispear, its a cache problem, its due to my server configuration or joomla it self ?

error reporting is already set to none, strange that it continue showing errors !!
i will replace line 665, i found in the same topic this code, can use it ?

    if(!isset($_SESSION)) 

    { 

        session_start(); 

    }

    else

    {

        session_destroy();

        session_start(); 

    }

Hey Jan,

I believe it's the way your current cache method is causing these errors but unfortunately this is beyond the scope of our support
