sessions.php, tmp, session_start, session_write_close errors

[Guest]

Everything has been running fine since I have been running oscommerce except today when I tried to get on the main page and got the follow error msgs from the front page.

I've read some other post on here and having found anything directly pertaining to this issue. Also when I go to the admin pages I get these error messages:

 

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_baec64b7dbf5cab18ebb77a8079ccc9d, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /opt/web/bishop/webshare/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

Any help or suggestion anyone could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Your host/ISP may have changed permissions on /tmp.

 

The safest way is to store sessions in mysql rather than in files.

 

Change both

 

catalog/includes/configure.php

and

catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

 

near the bottom of the files and set

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');
