session configuration problems

Hi everyone!

I am trying to set up some scripts which rely on sessions under PHP 4.3.4.

I have edited php.ini and tried to set session.save_path to several possible destinations (like c:/windows/temp) but I always get warnings that identify that PHP is trying to save the session files under /tmp. Of course, sessions do not work:

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmpsess_ffa1090bd0920f2479449e4b14c0e69f, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in....
....
Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.


And the most interesting: I tried checking wheather php.ini interpreted correctly.
print(ini_get('session.save_path'));
prints the correct path.

Is there some other variable I have to set?

Thank you!

Hi again!

I got around the problem by creating a folder c:tmp. So the problem is not so critical now.

However, this is only a trick and if someone has an idea why it doesn't work the way it is supposed to, please write!

don't be offended, if this simple tip is not Your case:

If You have php.ini both in c:php and c:windows then it's no use modifing the first one as php always looks for the windows one first. Or on some conf-s it doesn't see the one in c:php at all. So the best practice is to put it in c:windows

Hi!

Thanks for the replay valgevali!

The problem was not related to php.ini. The reason for the behaviour was that one of the scripts enforced a custom sessions directory. Originally, I did not know about this (it was not developed by me) and that's why it looked strange to me. I just found that this week.
