WampServer

Hi all,

can someone please explain this ... i have installed OScommerce on my local machine for testing for a client.

every time i load the page up in red at the top says

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

also at the top before the store loads i see

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\wamp\www\oscommerce\includes\functions\sessions.php:97) in C:\wamp\www\oscommerce\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 97

repeated 3 times

how to i turn sessions on and where do i put the temp directory i have created it in every file in OSC and still says it can not find it ????

HELP?????????

Regards
Phil

For some reason, the default session directory set in the php.ini file by WAMP is an ok location, but it does not work. So, you need to change this setting.

Find this line:
session.save_path = "C:\WAMP\tmp"

Change it to this:
session.save_path = "C:\WINDOWS\Temp"

Now, save the file, restart apache so the new settings will take effect, and sessions will now work for you.

This didn't work for me.

make sure you restart apache after you change this setting or the new settings will not take effect.

Oscommerce sets it's own tmp directory.

The easiest fix is to run the install again and set sessions to use the database.
otherwise you will have to look in the database configuration table,
find the entry 'Session Directory' or similar and set it to "C:\WINDOWS\Temp" (or whatever your temp directory is.)

Changing it in php.ini will have no effect. (but you still should change it to 'session.save_path = C:\WINDOWS\Temp' or some other absolute temp directory.)CyberSpatium wrote:
