When trying to start the installation I get the following error message:
"Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function session_start() in /my/path/to/www/phpopenchat/html/admin/install.php on line 29"

I tried a lot of things without success.
Could somebody tell me what I did wrong ?

Thanks !!

  this happens when using php in a version 3.x what is quite old, but yet i bit supported by the chat. edit defaults_inc.php and switch ENABLE_SESSION to false
  but: the developers tested the chat only with a php4.x version. i believe some parts of the chat do not work without sessions. try to upgrade your php (4.x is much faster, too)

    Thanks very much for yr reply. However I already changed ENABLE_SESSION to FALSE without success.
    
    Should I install the program manually, i.e. not with the install script?
    
    Unfortunately I depend on my host who's still using php3. Will this chat run under v3.x or is v4.x mandatory ?
    
    Thanks !
