Problem with tmp directory on Win2K

[luxio]

Hi!

I have installed OScommerce-2-2ms2 on Windows2000, but when I browse the main page the following errors appear:

 

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp\sess_f0e96adc122e8c6629cb22f34003887e, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oscommerce-2.2ms2\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oscommerce-2.2ms2\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php:67) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oscommerce-2.2ms2\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oscommerce-2.2ms2\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php:67) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\oscommerce-2.2ms2\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

After this, it comes the main OScommerce page.

 

I know that either the tmp directory is missing...or it has something to do with the slash /tmp (which I guess is *nix/linux kind of "pathing") and instead I shoulld change it to \tmp, but the question is where?

 

If I get to the administration module (/admin/index.php) and browse it, these messages appear:

Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp\sess_78292dcacaf34749f0ac1e66606a1bc1, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

 

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

 

What is that Unknown on line 0?

 

How can I solve this problem? :blink:

 

Thanks!

Change the last line of both configure.php files to read:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

This stores sessions in the database and will remove the warning. On a shared server you should not use files to store session data anyway.
