Sessions Error

[Guest]

I have the site up and running but when people go onto the site here is the error they see

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_70f031679ff8e51eb80a26480981d850, O_RDWR) failed: Stale NFS file handle (70) in /www/c/catsceramics/htdocs/osCommerce/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

 

Warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for /tmp (errno=70 - Stale NFS file handle) in /www/c/catsceramics/htdocs/osCommerce/catalog/includes/header.php on line 23

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

The /tmp file exists and set to 777 in both the catalog directory and the admin directory, is it in the wrong place or am I missing something.

 

Here are the sections from the sessions.php and the header.php

  }

 

  function tep_session_start() {

    return session_start();

  }

 

  function tep_session_register($variable) {

    global $session_started;

 

    if ($session_started == true) {

      return session_register($variable);

    } else {

      return false;

 

  }

 

// check if the session folder is writeable

  if (WARN_SESSION_DIRECTORY_NOT_WRITEABLE == 'true') {

    if (STORE_SESSIONS == '') {

      if (!is_dir(tep_session_save_path())) {

        $messageStack->add('header', WARNING_SESSION_DIRECTORY_NON_EXISTENT, 'warning');

      } elseif (!is_writeable(tep_session_save_path())) {

        $messageStack->add('header', WARNING_SESSION_DIRECTORY_NOT_WRITEABLE, 'warning');

      }

    }

  }

 

Thanks in advance for any help

try /tmp in your root directory

It's far better to store sessions in your database rather than in a tmp folder - especially on a shared server.

 

On the last line of both configure.php files make sure that they read 'mysq' where indicated.
