what forum are you trying to use? did you recently install anything? do you have any backups of your files?

No, i haven't recently installed anything, and i have no backups. I believe it is SMFphp. Please help

The file names shown in the errors do match SMF. If it can be assumed that you or your hosting company have not made any changes and that other PHP scripts and Mysql access is working, then something or someone has broken or modified the files on your site.

Here are some things you can do -

You should backup your existing files using FTP and backup your existing mysql database. You should change your FTP logon password and probably your control panel password as well.

You can open one or more of the source files to determine if this is SMF and what version it is.

You should visit the script's Forum and search for the errors you are receiving to see if they have any help to offer.

You can re-download the same version of the script and FTP this to your site to see if this restores your Forum to working order. If this does work, you should then change your Forum administrator logon password and the database password (change in the config/settings file and on the actual database.) If this works, you should then upgrade to the latest version of the script.

If the above does not work, you might be faced with deleting everything and starting over. Hopefully, you are able to backup your existing database. This can be restored if you start over using the same version of the script, but then upgrade to the latest version of the script.

Hope this helps...

looks like someone has set error_reporting to E_ALL either in the forum software, or on the server - which is causing the errors to get printed out - and causing the cookies to fail because output buffering is turned off.

you can have a look for error_reporting(E_ALL) in the index.php (guess here - i have never used smf =) ) file and change that to error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE), which should fix it straight away - you can turn output buffering back on - and things will start working again - but the errors will still be there.

Powerspike's suggestion is more likely and should be checked out before doing the things I suggested (except making a backup copy of your current script and current database, which is always a good idea to have.)

When i did what powerspike said, the forum started working again, but i couldnt login to admin, or log out. There were many problems associated.

i just signed up, and logged in and out on a couple of pc's no problems here - you might want to clear your cookies, and make sure any new ones aren't getting block (ie nortons internet sec etc)
