Does this mean that i need to create a folder calledf sessions and then a TMP dir with in it?

 

any suggestions ?

Try this first:

 

In admin/includes/configure.php set the last line like so:

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', '');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'mysql');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'osCommerce');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

Let me know if that solves the problem.

Create a directory somewhere in your webspace, catalog is OK, you can name it sessions or whatever you wish.

 

Go into admin -> Configuration -> Sessions and set your new directory as the target.

 

This will be the full path, ie:

 

C:\Inetpub\vhosts\xxxx.net.au\subdomains\store\httpdocs\catalog\sessions
