session handling

Every time I want to initiate a session i get this: Warning: open(/tmp\sess_b18426d4011c38e033bd0ed54bd2d2f1, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in e:\webserver\phptest\page1.php on line 2 Warning: open(/tmp\sess_b18426d4011c38e033bd0ed54bd2d2f1, O_RDWR) failed: m (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 I run an Apache webserver under Windows and I have the latest version of PHP. I looked up the "session.save_path" in the php.ini file and it sais: [Session] session.save_handler = files ; handler used to store/retrieve data session.save_path = /tmp ; argument passed to save_handler ; in the case of files, this is the ; path where data files are stored session.use_cookies = 1 ; whether to use cookies session.name = PHPSESSID ; name of the session ; is used as cookie name session.auto_start = 0 ; initialize session on request startup session.cookie_lifetime = 1814400 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie ; or if 0, until browser is restarted session.cookie_path = / ; the path the cookie is valid for session.cookie_domain = ; the domain the cookie is valid for session.serialize_handler = php ; handler used to serialize data ; php is the standard serializer of PHP session.gc_probability = 1 ; percentual probability that the ; 'garbage collection' process is started ; on every session initialization session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; after this number of seconds, stored ; data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the gc process session.referer_check = ; check HTTP Referer to invalidate ; externally stored URLs containing ids session.entropy_length = 0 ; how many bytes to read from the file session.entropy_file = ; specified here to create the session id ; session.entropy_length = 16 ; session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom session.cache_limiter = nocache ; set to {nocache,private,public} to ; determine HTTP caching aspects session.cache_expire = 180 ; document expires after n minutes session.use_trans_sid = 1 ; use transient sid support if enabled ; by compiling with --enable-trans-sid url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry" What's wrong with /tmp ? Where's that map located? Do I need to change the entry? Should I create the dir? If so, where?
