My apologies if this is in the FAQ, I just skimmed it ;)

Short story long: I'm trying to install gallery software for the website of an organization I belong to. I'm stuck on the authentication set. The first error is on the top of the page and the last two errors are on the bottom of the page.

Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_920dd713af3c34437b0225cb97954282, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /gallery2/install/index.php on line 74

Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp/sess_920dd713af3c34437b0225cb97954282, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

The download of login.txt also contains the eorrors in the txt file. I've also tried to do a login.txt by hand with just the randomstring, which the installer will not accept. Thank you for any help!

the installer uses php sessions.. your phpinfo looks ok. is it possible you are unable to write to /tmp ? (session.save_path setting).

I would not be surprised. Is there a means to directly test this and if its the case, make and use a tmp directory on the webserver?

It would be challenging; at that point in the process we don't know where we could even create a tmp directory since it's the very first thing we try to do. At some level, we have to depend on PHP being properly configured...

i had the same problem running Apache/2.0.53 (Win32) PHP/4.3.4 on Windows 2003 server but was able to solve the problem by making a small adjustment to the apache configuration file and php.ini.

firstly, in the apache config file i added

LoadModule ldap_module modules/util_ldap.so

at the end of the list of modules.

In php.ini i changed the value of 'session.save_path' to be 'c:\php\php_temp' making the line of code

session.save_path = c:\php\php_temp

(i created the folder 'php_temp' in the main php folder)

Hope this is of some help.
