need some help with php weblog

[cassady]

Hi,

I am totally new to any of this php stuff but I am a fighter so I wanna master it (or at least try 😉 ). I wanted to install a weblog ( www.pivotlog.net )on my site but my provider doesn't allows php (or only 'safe on' mode) so I decided to host it myself.

I did get a long way. I installed IIS 5 (apache is too difficult to configure for a novice) and I installed php 4.3.1. So far no probs.

then I followed someone's instructions to set up php right :

http://www.sitemasters.be/index.php?action=php&pagina=inst_winnt_2k_iis

which worked fine because the phpinfo.php worked..I was surprised I got this far

Then I tried to open pivot (index.php) and indeed I got the login screen but i also got this message..:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_7b4b92b690059f6969e47d8397cf96ba, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\weblog\pivot\index.php on line 2

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\weblog\pivot\index.php:2) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\weblog\pivot\index.php on line 2

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\weblog\pivot\index.php:2) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\weblog\pivot\index.php on line 2

I figured I got too far to just give up, so I am asking for your expertise here. How to solve this???

Thanks in advance

It seems that your temp-directory is not set correctly (for windows) so the file file which is used to store the session-data cannot be created. The other errors are just caused by the output of the first error.
Try to set the temp-dir to an existing path in your php.ini.
