<? session_start(); ?>

I am using <? session_start(); ?> before anything else in the header on a local install but i'm getting the following errors:

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp\sess_4b8d6f7a792fb939550b54a15fc52942, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\marketplace\index.php on line 4

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\marketplace\index.php:4) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\marketplace\index.php on line 4

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\marketplace\index.php:4) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\marketplace\index.php on line 4

Here is the session output from phpinfo():

I'm running it on a localhost so I think it could be something to do with php configeration.

Any idea's?

Thanks

first error:

1) create a 'tmp' directory , ie: c:\apache\tmp
2) edit php.ini and change the session path to the newly created directory.
3) done.

as for the headers error, you can't not send anything before session_start. check your code and make sure there is nothing being output before you start the session call.
