session_save_path

[SeanFromIT]

I am using the latest version of CMSMS. I need to change the session_save_path on every PHP page in order to get PHP sessions to work on my hosting provider. Is there a single file in CMSMS that I can change this in, or do I need to add the path change to the top of every .php file?

Put this in your .htaccess
php_value session.save_path "/path/to/your/tmp/or/sessions/directory"

No dice...generates a 500 Internal Server Error if I create a .htaccess file like that and drop it in the CMSMS directory. Any other ideas?

[solved] I added session_save_path ('/path/to/tmp/'); to the beginning of include.php and I can now get into the admin interface.

That did´nt make it that simple.
But I added this in a .htaccess file

php_value session.save_path /tmp
php_value session.cookie_path /

And I´m in!

I guess the cookie_path needed another path then save_path

just a note.. you have to use php.ini files in place of php flags or directives in .htaccess when your server has PHP run from CGI.
