/tmp\sess error messages

[slipstrm]

I am having a problem with session variables. Everytime I try to use a Session_start() command I receive the following message:

WARNING: open(/tmp\sess_84572..........., O_DRDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in login.php on line 9.

Yes, line 9 simply states:
Session_start():

Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be?

You either don't have a /tmp directory, or your web server doesn't have permission to write to it.

Since your error is showing 2 different styles of directory navigation / for unix and \ for dos I'm assuming that you are running on a Windows machine with a standard setup.

What you need to do is look in your php.ini file, if you don't know where it is you can use a phpinfo() page to tell you. Look in this file for the line:
session.save_path = /tmp
Then just change this line to be something that your system recognizes as a temporary directory.
