Config Problems - I Think!!

[ixtlan]

Hi All

 

I am a newbie to the forum - so please be gentle.

 

I am slowly getting my head around MySQL and PHP.

 

I have installed Oscommerce without any problems in as much as it goes through install process and gives me the link window to "catalog" or "admin"

 

This is where my probles lay i go ito admin and and I get this error message when I try to name the store. I am running on local server

 

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_30c08e6319e1203f16cabc2855a76a87, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\ibserver\www\oscommerce\catalog\admin\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

 

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\ibserver\www\oscommerce\catalog\admin\includes\functions\sessions.php:67) in c:\ibserver\www\oscommerce\catalog\admin\includes\functions\general.php on line 18

 

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_30c08e6319e1203f16cabc2855a76a87, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

 

Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

 

Hope someone can help - is it to do with application_top.php?

 

Thanks

add 'mysql' to the last line in each configure.php file

Thanks for getting back so quick - but I am a bit thick

 

Can you explain what you mean in the config.php file?

 

Do I have to install again?

In include/configure.php under catalog and admin.

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); <- if this is set to mysql oscommerce will store the sessions data on the database and not on a temp directory. :)

Hi Saruba

 

That worked a treat - I must get into this PHP and MySQL instead of asking stupid questions :P

 

Thanks again
