Session Save Path writable?

[Anonymous]

i am getting this error when trying to install

can any one help?

Session Save Path writable? Fatal: /tmp not existing or not writable.

[David]

And have you attempted to chmod that directory using an ftp program?

[Anonymous]

yes the /temp and temp/templates are set at 777 am i still missing something?

[David]

yes, but above you said /tmp (not /temp).
btw, I made the same mistake too one day.

[Anonymous]

hmmm thats odd where might i find tmp file?

[David]

Here is the line I see on page 1 of the installation:
Session Save Path writable? (/tmp)
I hope someone will know the answer. Are you on a Linux server?
Sometimes this files in on the same level as the www folder. Does it exist? Is it writeable?

ic the /tmp should already be on my server and not apart of the link install app... yes it is Linux

[David]

Yes, and based on this

it sounds like there may be an issue with /tmp

If you are able to grant me ftp access, PM me and I will take a look.

You're welcome....I'm sorry that we did not get a quick easy fix for you.
