Cannot send session cache limiter - tried everything

Question

I'm getting this error:

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home2/alson/public_html/iFix/users/tech/pending.php:2) in /home2/alson/public_html/iFix/users/tech/nav.php on line 3

And this is the code for that part:

<?php   
    ob_start();
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['username'];
    $_SESSION['type'];
         if(!isset($_SESSION['type'])){
             header ("location: ../components/login.php");
         }
?>

I think I have tried everything. I've put ob_start and ob_flush at the start and the end of file, made sure session_start is always on top, checked the file encoding if it's not utf-8 with bom but the problem still persists. If I remove the session_start(), the errors disappears but messes up the fetching of data. What can I do about this?

Yep. Everything's there, and I tried that too. It's working fine on my local server. It messed up when I uploaded it to the live host. — Benedict Payot, Jul 27 '15 at 17:27
check if you have white space after `?>` in your php files `nav.php` and `pending.php` — Shehary, Jul 27 '15 at 17:31
Checked. Found none. My last guess is about PHP versions. Local server runs 5.6 while live host has 5.4. Maybe it's the cause of these errors? — Benedict Payot, Jul 27 '15 at 17:38
can you create http://pastebin.com/ of both files, nav and pending, so have closer look at complete code — Shehary, Jul 27 '15 at 17:47

see the problem, you have `session_start();` in nav.php right? — Shehary, Jul 27 '15 at 17:53
Tried that. Nothing changed. But thank you, I appreciate your help and suggestions. — Benedict Payot, Jul 27 '15 at 18:05

to

<?php   
session_start();
ob_start();

Tried. Still no luck. It's working fine on my local server. Does it have something to do with PHP versions? – Benedict Payot Jul 27 '15 at 17:27
