'session.save_path' directory not set!

HI,
I am facing this error when i try to run a php file. Complete error is

'session.save_path' directory not set! Please set your session.save_path in your php.ini file. It is usally set to /tmp for UNIX, C:\Temp for windows. After you have done this, reload this page.

I can set this problem in localhost but what when i upload on a hosting server again it give this error. What i can do here.

Please guid me.

If you're uploading to a hosting server, i.e. you don't own the server, you'll need to contact the owner of the server in order to resolve this error.

EDIT: Apparently, this directive CAN be set anywhere, i.e. in all of your PHP scripts, or in a .htaccess file.

Try creating a .htaccess file in the root of your web directory, and put this in it:

php_flag session.save_handler files
php_flag session.save_path /tmp

Also, this assumes that your host is running a Unix operating system, not Windows.

Talk to your hosting provider: they should be able to set it, or tell you what is needed for their system.

And if they aren't able, tell them they are incompetent and you want your money back 😉

Hi,

I make a .htaccess file and upload this in web root direct what's happen all me other page in this site not open and found this error

The page cannot be displayed
64 - Host not available
Internet Security and Acceleration Server

so i put a empty .htaccess file and then other pages work but it still giving same error

i am putting a question to hosting server for this error.
Any other idea ?

As Weedpacket said, make sure you notify them of the exact error, because it is an error on their part in not configuring PHP correctly.
