I'm trying out Backdrop for the first time. I've set up the software on a FreeBSD droplet at Digital Ocean. I don't have a domain set up, but I'm hoping to install it as a subdirectory off of an IP address. I get the following message when I try to fire up the install process.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function session_name() in /usr/local/www/apache24/data/backdrop/core/includes/bootstrap.inc:974 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/backdrop/core/includes/bootstrap.inc(2997): backdrop_settings_initialize() #1 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/backdrop/core/includes/bootstrap.inc(2816): _backdrop_bootstrap_configuration() #2 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/backdrop/index.php(20): backdrop_bootstrap(8) #3 {main} thrown in /usr/local/www/apache24/data/backdrop/core/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 974
Thanks!
Function session_name() is a PHP function, not a Backdrop function.
It looks like your PHP installation is missing session support.
