two things you could try.

 

1) download oscommerce from this site and install it manualy.

or...

2) chmod your /temp/ directory to 777

 

It looks to me as if your /temp/ folder permissions are wrong so it is it is not able to write to your session directory.

 

Hope this helps

SESSION DIRECTORY DOES NOT EXIST

 

change the last line in the following files

 

catalog/includes/configure.php

admin/includes/configure.php

 

from

define('STORE_SESSIONS', '');

to

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

hi steve

 

 

thanks that has done the trick if i could ask one more question the site i am building is called http://www.simfree-mobiles.co.uk how do i get the shop to load as the first page . the directory i have stored oscommerce is called oscommerce thanks again ... paul......

move everything down one directory so at the moment you have www.simfree-mobiles.co.uk/oscommerce/

 

If you move everything down one directory you will have www.simfree-mobiles.co.uk/

 

you then need to alter the two configure.php files admin/includes and oscommerce/includes to reflect the path changes i.e. remove all instances of oscommerce from the path.

 

If you pm me your configs I will ammend the paths for you.
