Problems Installing on XP

Post by deadpoet »

I'm running XP Home, Apache 2.0.47, and php 4.3.2. I've run the install script, and changed forward slashes to backward slashes as I thought made sense. I made all the configuration changes to httpd.conf and php.ini as indicated in the INSTALL file. But I have a bit of a problem with sessions. Here are the errors I've observed so far.

After clicking the install link, the table with the various config options was displayed. But, there were session error above and below the table. Above it said:

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp\sess_e034f17940d1dcadd23c4393feea242f, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\htdocs\test.jointheaxis.org\s9y\serendipity_admin.php on line 2

And below it said:

Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp\sess_e034f17940d1dcadd23c4393feea242f, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

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

I'm getting these same errors above and below every time I try to access the admin pages, and of course my session is not saved, so I have to login again every time I click on a link in the admin pages.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul

Fixed It

Never mind, fixed it! I changed the value for session.save_path from /tmp to something that actually existed on my computer.
