I had the problem that PHP couldn't use session_start(), because there was no such file or directory. It had to do with session.save_path = /tmp in the PHP.ini file. I use Apache2, php4, and windows 2000. I tried to change the path in every possible combination, like qouting, with/without drive letter, forwardslashes/backwardslashes, and restarting the server every time. But it didn't help. Then I copied an example from PHP.ini from the [directory] section, (include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"). I used this a the base for setting up the session.save_path = /tmp, only replacing the 'c:\php\includes' with 'c:\WINNT\Temp'. I restarted the server and it worked, so if you got the same problem, try using 'session.save_path = ".;c:\WINNT\Temp"' -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31183 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31183 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31183
