I get an error with the following in it: .session can not be locked during Session init!

The full error will look something like:

A General Script Error Occurred

Error: ../acatalog/217Z41Z217Z22A1181659957B14645.session can not be locked during Session init!

Try the following:

1. go to 'Help Menu | Troubleshooting | Website Purge and Refresh' (tick all boxes but be aware that any customised perl scripts will be overwritten with the originals)

2. check the cgi-bin (755) and acatalog (777) permissions

3. if you use Paypal or Nochex, edit 'Session.pm (from your site folder) as follows (fixed in 8.5.2 and above):

* Search for 'sub GetSessionFileName' you will see...

sub GetSessionFileName
{
my $Self = shift;
my $sID = shift;
my $sPath = $Self->GetSessionFileFolder();
return ($sPath . $sID . '.session');
}

* Insert the following after this ...

sub DESTROY
{
my $Self = shift;
$Self->{_LOCKER}->Unlock()
}

* Save and exit the file

* Update the site.
