Guest Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 by default, osCommerce has /tmp in a few settings in the admin/configuration area of the store (sessions, logging, etc). and these need to be changed to match your dir structure. thus, i would create a dir named tmp at /home/militariauk/tmp and use that path instead of just /tmp. your host may have one already created there. also, set 'mysql' to the store sessions section of your configure.php files.

♥Vger Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 If, on the last line of both configure.php files you set them to read 'mysql' where indicated then this will store sessions in the database. You won't need to create a 'tmp' folder to store them, and the error message will disappear. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeyman Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hi thanks again This is the configure file it seems to be set to Mysql`already? (on both configure files) define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true'); // use persistent connections? define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql' ?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The Cache function also uses a 'tmp' folder. You should not use Cache on a shared server, so set Use Cache to false also and the error should go. In your configure.php files you should not have use_pconnect set to 'true' Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeyman Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 hi the cache is set to false and stll the same error? one minute it was working and then all these problems out of the blue, cannot understand the problem, please any more suggestions i am desparte.

Guest Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 then it is how your host has the server configured. i had run into that problem before, took almost a year for the host to actually admit they had the server configured incorrectly. thus create the tmp dir how i explained earlier, see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 try setting the file permissions to 777 on the tmp dir, should not have to but some hosts have it so you can not access them properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 you have to go into your admin/configuration on the back end of the store and change the paths there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalseDawn Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Warning: session_save_path(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/militariauk/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/militariauk/public_html) This error to me suggests that your access is limited to your public_html directory. Normally, open_basedir is used to limit user access to their /home/ directory and subdirectories by entries in the appropriate <virtualhost> section in apache's httpd.conf file, eg: php_admin_value open_basedir "usernname/home/" Maybe check with your host how they have configured this to restrict your access?

eiffel Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Did you find a solution to this problem? Am having the same problem myself. Is it something that I need to get my host to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Session Directory tmp/ Force Cookie Use False Check SSL Session ID False Check User Agent False Check IP Address False Prevent Spider Sessions True Recreate Session False You do not need to store sessions in files in a 'tmp' folder. By editing the last line of both configure.php files to read 'mysql' where indicated sessions are stored in the database and not in files. You would then set Use Cache to 'false' also.

Guest Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm also experiencing this exact problem - i've done a couple of oscommerce store sites before, have gone through cross referencing the config files and admin settings for any similarities or differences. Nothing i can see - very strange. Did anyone suggest anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 HiI have had exactly the same problem since yesterday, and have searched the forums too. Eventually I went to look at my webhost's help site, and found the following page: http://www.supanames.co.uk/support/open_basedir.html My hosts are Supanames, and have just introduced new security on PHP systems. It threw me as I couldn't process credit card payments on my site as we normally do. However, having read their article, I have gone back to the OSCommerce Admin for my site, and gone to the Sessions tab. Within this page there is a setting for Session Directory, which was set to just "/tmp". Following the Supanames advice, I have changed this to "/home/gavinorcom/public_html/tmp" and all is now well again! You will need to substitute your own web name for the "gavinorcom" bit, but the rest should work. Found this on another thread - put the updated pathway into sessions page using my own web name. And it worked a charm. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yep.. had to redirect my /tmp folder here using Ilisys servers. Waiting for a tech support reply (it's a Sunday) but I've fixed the problem now. They obviously did an upgrade(?) yesterday/last night and it has created some dramas. Reading the error message carefully actually will tell you what's wrong... it gives the new folder location. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
