Hi John

I think you are bitten by the reference bug of PHP4.3. But the 3.4 branch is really old now (even unsupported), is there no option to upgrade to 3.7 (3.8 is also good, but requires more upgrade steps)?

Can you tell us a bit more on what may have changed before/after you experienced this? There may be some other bugs that hit you and maybe we can help with more info

hi Paul,
I appreciate it a lot your reply.
The Version 3.4.1 could be upgraded but my php version on the server is 4.3.6 so i think i can't update the system to 3.7 which requires PHP 4.4.x

Please let me know
Awaiting your reply
thanks
John

NOTE: i didn't do any updates before i have this thing. the main problem is that i was on vacation, and the site was ok , i came back i found it down and since then it is down :(

I think restoring a database backup is the best option.

Good luck!

Hi
I had a similar problem with login one year ago.
My database table (ezsession) was disrepair.
I deleted one and created a new one, and it worked.
Backup, update - nothing helped.

Marcin,
You are great , thanks a lot and i don't know hwo to thank you actually.
The problem has been totally solved now
the sql statements for that table are :

CREATE TABLE ezsession (
session_key varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
expiration_time int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
data longtext NOT NULL,
user_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (session_key),
KEY expiration_time (expiration_time),
KEY ezsession_user_id (user_id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

ope that may help other users to solve thier problems

I use phpmyadmin for mysql operation on databases.
Phpmyadmin will tell you if the table is disrepair.
I dont know what does ezsession looks like in eZp version 3.4.1
but this is code for eZp 3.8.3:

CREATE TABLE `ezsession` (
`data` longtext NOT NULL ,
`expiration_time` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
`session_key` varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL default '',
`user_id` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY ( `session_key` ) ,
KEY `expiration_time` ( `expiration_time` ) ,
KEY `ezsession_user_id` ( `user_id` )
) ENGINE = InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8;
