I am getting this error message on the admin log in page.  it is preventing me from logging in.

Any ideas where this is coming from?

Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp/sess_06b3210e6491cbd41dcae3529dfe6c42, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) 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

permissions correct?

Step 4

For the script to access the folder properly, you need to change permissions of the following files and directories on the server. CHMOD these to 777 (Note: 777 has pontential security risks and may allow hackers to upload files to these directories to run phishing sites etc. If security of your web site is important, set it these folders to CHMOD 775 or tighter.):

    * tmp
    * tmp/templates_c
    * tmp/cache
    * uploads
    * uploads/images
    * modules


CHMOD?!? Well, in most cases you can alter the permissions by right-clicking in your FTP program on the directory or file in question, selecting CHMOD or File Attributes (or something similar) and enter 777 in the appropriate field. Otherwise, check the manual of your FTP program.

No, the problem is with his session save path not being writable.

that was gonna be my second guess
