/tmp directory problem

[sekz]

Hi.

When I try to open the catalog directory on Internet Explorer I get this error:

 

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp\sess_faf2d2747941267f3bfca2ef21a4c89d, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\Programas\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Programas\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php:67) in C:\Programas\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67

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

 

I've read about it at the bugs report list and I found this:

 

Add a directory called tmp (the default is that this folder is not created, not sure why). Make sure you set the correct permissions for it (I believe 755). This may solve the problem but I don't know how to give those permissions in Windows XP.

I thank you for your help in advance.

Just edit the configure.php file and change

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', '')

 

to

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql')

 

And your problem will go away :-)

hmm i was getting the same problem and i have changed the configure.php in both admin and normal include folder to specify sessions to be kept in the mysql database. but everytime attempt to log in now i get the following error

 

 

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in

 

xxx/www/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67
