PHP 4.0.1 Sessions

Anon · 07-21-2000, 11:02 AM

I'm running php on IIS/Win2000. I just installed the newest version of php which is supposed to have fixed the session bug for the win32 platform. When I test a session, I get an error message saying:

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

I've tried changing the session.save path in the php.ini file to \tmp rather than /tmp,
I've alse tried an absolute path c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin\tmp\ but end up with the same message. I know something is working better because with php4.0 I used to get nothing.

You need to point to the Window temp dir. As in: session.save_path = \winnt\temp

aAnother thing, if you just refresh the page after changing the ini, will it work?

I changed php.ini to read

session.save_path = c:\winnt\temp

the problem was resolved.
