open_basedir restriction in effect

 

ask Your hosting company as there are some security setting leading to this.

I have also just installed oscommerce and i have got these same "session" error messages as mentioned above. Does anyone know what might be causing these?

The shop is installed on a webserver hosted by my ISP so i have not got any admin rihgts or such. But im guessing that shouldnt be the source of these error messages? Or could it be something with user permissions for some file? <_<

In catalog/includes/configure.php see that you are using mysql to store sessions.

 

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

If you already have that setting then your host is running in safe mode and that requires a few other changes.

I am quite sure i checked this and it was set to 'mysql', but i will doubble check it.

What do you mean with running in safe mode? And what would these changes be? Is this something i should contact my hosting provider about?

 

Thank you!

Check your configure.php files first. If that does not fix it then your host is running in safe mode and you will have to make changes to your site as I do not think they will change their server setup for your store.
