Still having problems...?!

Thanks John and Cornelia for a fast response :). I have edited my ini file as you suggested, and I changed the code around a bit and experimented a bit more with it, but I still have some problems. This is exactly how the file looks; <? // page1.php session_start(); $_SESSION["real_name"] = "Hartleigh Burton"; print "<a href='page2.php'>Go to this page</a>"; ?> Nothing more, nothing less. But the problem I am receiving does not seem to be based on the PHP, here is the error. Warning: open(/tmp\sess_1df563d6d8c8b4b16534c438251e7107, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in E:\Webroot\tutorial\page1.php on line 3 Warning: open(/tmp\sess_1df563d6d8c8b4b16534c438251e7107, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct ***>>(/tmp)<<*** in Unknown on line 0 This is the php.ini line; session.save_path = e:\webroot\tmp, and i have created the directory tmp in that location. i tried both \'s and /'s for that line, not sure as to whether they do any difference or not, and restarted the server service both times.
