Fixing /tmp session_start under XP

[Guest]

If you get this error when you are done installing OSCommerce:

 

Session error running under Windows: session_start():open(/tmp\sess_...) failed: No such file or directory

 

1. Edit C:\windows\php.ini. Change line 824 to:

session.save_path = "d:\php\sessiondata" ; argument passed to save_handler

 

2. Create the directory d:\php\sessiondata. Right click on it, properties, Security tab, Add -> Everyone -> Full Control -> OK.

 

3. Bring up OSCommerce Admin page. Click Configuration -> Sessions -> Session Directory -> edit.

 

4. It is probably set at "/tmp". Change this to "", then click update.

 

5. Stop IISAdmin service. Start it back up again.

 

6. Voila.
