Just install oscommerce for the first time on the top of page I am getting

As it say I must first fix them befor I continue

 

Warning: open(/tmp\sess_6e61bb7bae1965554890e7a36c2895cb, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\phpdev\www\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

 

 

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: c:/phpdev/www/catalog/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.

first is to chansge both admin and catalog includes/configure.ohp files where the code

 

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

change this to

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

then for the warning about the file being writable change the permissions on both configure.php files to 644 if you still receive the warning then change the permissions to 444 read only status

I have been experiencing the same problem. I have 4 customers with shopping carts utilizing OsCommerce. One of them is on a different server than the others. I set permissions on the configure.php to 444 and it worked only for the one site. The other sites it did not work on.

 

I think it may be a server problem, but they are not responding as it says in my server documentation that they do not provide support for OsCommerce.

you require an ftp program for the permission setting the likes of ws_ftp you would connect to the server and locate the file, then right click and select properties chmod 444 is read only that is from left to right the top three boxes checked and the rest unchecked for 644 do the same as for 444 but also check the second box down on the left
