Hello,

I am new to installing scripts. I am planning to develop a wedding site (not yet existing) and include a directory. Last night I uploaded the directory folders and changed permissions of file and folders as directed. My first screen has only two red x's. They are:

Session Save Path writable? ----Warning: /tmp not existing or not writable.
MSSQL Server Support ------ Not available.

I planned on igmoring the MSSQL warning because I am using MySQL. SO then I created a folder in the main phpLinkDorectory folder named tmp thinking that would solve it, but no go.

Where shoud I create this folder?

My url is:
{page no longer active}

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Also, I have never worked with a database before. I just created a new database is that all I need to do? Thanks!

Ask your host to make the following:

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

Writable - Either ring them or put a tech suport request in, they should have it done within 24 hours.

Once you have this start again from fresh and change the Database Name - User Name and password for something new because we all know what it is from the link above.

And do a search on here because this question has been answered many times before.

What is your host company?

That should solve it eh? Nope.

That's talking about a completely different folder there.

The scripts want to know your Session Save Path, the one that is suppose to be set are either missing or not set at all :)

You can contact your host concerning this, or you can try to carry on with the install as in some cases it'll go ahead and work or you can contact me and I'll give it a professional look over.

Best of luck,

ahahahaha I missed the bit where you might have to add (below)

session_save_path("/home/users/web/<bucket>/<your_homedir>/any_folder/tmp");
session_start();

to the top of the ini.php file after you have asked your host if its made writable.

This is what happened to me - just passing some info on! When the door bell rang. :oops:
