'Attempt to read property "childNodes" on null' and some Symphony error messages

Hi
I have pages behind login, and I got it working as suggested here

Use sitecake for page behind login

Dear, On my simple page I have a simple login. Behind the login, there is one page that I want to make editable. There is a problem. If I am logged in, in Sitecake my input fields doesn’t work anymore, that’s logical. So I first have to login to my page and then login in Sitecake but if I go to /sitecake.php the website automatically redirect me to the homepage en the website forgotten that I was logged in. Is there any way to make it possible to edit the page behind my own login page? Thank…

by initiating the session in sitecake.php.

But now when I try to login to Sitecake, the login is not accepted but I receive these errors in Apache error log:

The script /mysite/index.php does check the session, too.

What would help? Could I update the Symfony myself?

Hi,
I got this working by:

1. making sure the code is “require_once” instead of “require” for the login/valid session checking script
2. for some undocumented reason our login check script - which is quite old - had this at the end of that script
   ini_set(‘session.use_only_cookies’, false);
   ini_set(‘session.use_cookies’, false);
   ini_set(‘session.use_trans_sid’, false); //May be necessary in some situations
   ini_set(‘session.cache_limiter’, null);

and now that part is removed and everything is working fine: both the normal users and page editor are required to login first in our own system, and additionally page editor must login to Sitecake in order to edit the pages.

Thanks for the update @elmer
