where must i create the tmp directory?

[Cucciolo]

i copied the file in C:\Programmi\EasyPHP1-7\www\oscommerce\ and i followed the install instructions.

then i visited my local oscommerce site (http://localhost/oscommerce/), but it says:

 

"Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp\sess_56111d1973941eaca8684d6771d19cf2, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\programmi\easyphp1-7\www\oscommerce\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."

 

so i create the tmp directory in C:\Programmi\EasyPHP1-7\www\oscommerce\tmp but the error doesn't disappear.

 

then i create the "tmp" directory in C:\Programmi\EasyPHP1-7\www\tmp\ whit the same results. <_<

 

then it in all sub directory of ...\www\oscommerce\ with the same results. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Set the last line of both configure.php files to read 'mysql' where indicated. This stores sessions in the database - so you don't then need a 'tmp' folder. This is especially good advice for when you install your website online, as it will most likely be on a shared server with a shared 'tmp' folder.
