Re: Installation problems...

Hi Bobo, I am running the same setup as you (apache 2.045/php 4.3.1/MySQL 4.0.13). The first problem with the session: You should change this like

session.save_path="D:\PHP\tmp"    <---- use a full path name

The second problem with MySQL is a bit more complicated, well i can be... It could be that your password for pingstkyrkan_ne@127.0.0.1 is not set properly or it could be that the user cannot connect from localhost. I hope this helps Best regards, Davy Obdam Bobo Wieland wrote:

Are you running PHP as ISAPI or CGI? If it's ISAPI, you'll need to restart IIS before your changes to the

php.ini

file will take effect. -----Original Message----- From: Bobo Wieland [mailto:bobo.wieland@ektv.nu] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 6:51 AM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] Installation problems... Trying to reinstall PHP/MySQL/Apache on my WinXP setup... Ran in to some trouble though, that I hope you can help me with... First, I'm getting the following warning message: "Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_a0b08aae778010e958503bfde26c0ab5, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in E:\plantis\sida_1.php on line 1" I have PHP installed in D:\PHP and in php.ini I've the session save path

set

to: "D:/PHP/tmp". The directory "tmp" is in my PHP directory. Second problem. I can't connect to mysql. The message says the following; Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'pingstkyrkan_ne@127.0.0.1' (Using password: YES) in E:\pingstkyrkan\data\common_db.inc on line 12 0: Connection faild to the host localhost. I don't even know if I've installed MySQL correctly... WinMySQLAdmin says MyODBC; Not Found, Driver 3.51 Not Found.... Why should it be so hard to install and configure these things?!? Is it because it's free software? Please help me! thanks! .bobo
