Hi Ken
Thanks for your help, I found the solution after a bit more Investigation after taling to someone on the irc chat line .. The solution turned out to be some of the debugging statements that I had put in to find out what was going on.. The session start that is used by cake-php checks for headers being sent before it actually starts the session in lib/Cake/Model/Datasource/CakeSession.php..
On my localhost development station, the version of php and apache does not consider an echo statement as a "header" that is being sent to the web server.. However, on my ISP, the version of php and apache considers echo and pr output as "headers" so the session was never started, and there was no indication why the session was not started ..
So, the big thing is that you can't put debug statements before the session starts or cake will not start up the session variable and authentication is not possible because the session was not started ..
A very difficult issue to find, but finally explains the strange lack of session starting and no error message for the session start other than the message
"This web page has been black holed "
and a debug trace that was useless
I hope if any one else has the same problem, my solution will be able to help ..
Cheers

Dave,I was having (what seems like) the exact same problem. You can read the thread about it here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cake-php/ ORfK1b9AYTU My solution was to put CakeSession::start() in the beforeFilter() method in my AppController. Everything seems to work fine then. However, I don't believe this should be necessary so I will continue to try to determine why it's needed.When you do this, as long as 'default'=>'cake' is set in your core.php file, you should then see the session cookies in app/tmp/sessions.Can you post the details of your server configure (the one you were having the problem on)? Specifically, Apache, PHP, and CakePHP versions and settings concerning session. The output of phpinfo() would do nicely (with anything sensitive redacted, of course :-)Thanks,Ken
