sessions directory does not exists

[bluestallion]

Hi,

 

I'm installing the 2.2CVS version and I got these error messages on the catalog page after completing the step-by-step installation process.

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmpsess_807789a852cecf2b1c524cd990fbb36a, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in F:Domainsspieltoys.com.sgwwwrootcatalogincludesfunctionssessions.php on line 67

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at F:Domainsspieltoys.com.sgwwwrootcatalogincludesfunctionssessions.php:67) in F:Domainsspieltoys.com.sgwwwrootcatalogincludesfunctionssessions.php on line 67

Warning: Installation directory exists at: F:Domainsspieltoys.com.sgwwwrootcatalog/install. Please remove this directory for security reasons.

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: F:Domainsspieltoys.com.sgwwwrootcatalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

 

So, how can I rectify the code so the warning messages don't appear?

 

FIY, my server is running on IIS v5 not Apache ... so, the guide does not teach much on Windows server ... any advice, anyone?

 

Thanks.

make the tmp directory or put session in DB.

 

Also, fix the install & config. warnings too.

 

RTFM.

Hi Tony,

 

Thanks for tip but where do I need to create the tmp folder? in my root directory or my catalog folder?

 

Thanks.

You are not going to like the answer: c:tmp You can try to play around the System variables but it gets messy.

Looks like you are using F: for your stuff. Best is to use db for storing the session. It's cleaner.

Thanks Tony.

 

I've set the sessions storing during installation to database instead of files. No more messy messages.

 

Cheers!

I know you fixed it, but for anyone else who might be having trouble or looking up in a search (this might save you a few hours).

 

in the following directory

.../includes/configure.php

and

.../admin/includes/configure.php

 

change

'STORE_SESSIONS', ''

to

'STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'

in both files near the end of the file.
