note 61347 deleted from function.session-start by danbrown

Note Submitter: crs at vankuik dot nl ---- As the previous note said, the session_start() function needs a directory to write to. You can get Apache plus PHP running in a normal user account. Apache will then of course have to listen to an other port than 80 (for instance, 8080). Be sure to do the following things: - create a temporary directory PREFIX/tmp - put php.ini in PREFIX/lib - edit php.ini and set session.save_path to the directory you just created Otherwise, your scripts will seem to 'hang' on session_start().
