Installation problems - where is my session file?

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Installation problems - where is my session file?

Post by rhys »

Hello
I'm installing 1.1 and on step 1 of the install page i get a warning: Your session.save_path is "/var/lib/php/session". Not having this as writable may make logins to the Admin Panel not work. You may want to look into making this path writable if you have trouble logging into the Admin Panel. ... but I can't find this file anywhere.

It is only a yellow disc - not a fail, but as a result I can't login to my admin, though the site is there.
any ideas please?

If it's not there you should create it and make it writable, or change session.save_path to another (writable) path.
session.save_path is a PHP configuration defined in php.ini on the server (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sessio ... .save-path).
It may be possible (depending on the server settings) to override the setting using ini_set or apache directives in a .htaccess file (http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php).
