shopphp Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hello I am new to the site and have a bit of a problem. I have a php programme/script called phplive help which can be used to chat online with customers etc.. The thing is I haven't used the script for years and wanted to use it again. On installing it I came across this error message >>: 'session.save_path' directory not set! Please set your session.save_path in your php.ini file. It is usally set to /tmp for UNIX, C:\Temp for windows. After you have done this, reload this page I don't have a clue what to do at this point. I searched the main folder for the session.save_path and it doesn't exists so I can't make the changes the message had suggested. There is no php.ini file either. I need your help please!! Can someone explain in ENGLISH and slowly what I should do to correct this problem? :'( Regards shopphp Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/103901-solved-phplive-help-script-troubles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew-Portal Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 sessions are pretty much like cookies but the user cannot edit the data and they are saved on the server side. Sessions usally contain login information and data that the user is not allowed to view or edit. In your php.ini file there is no saved location wither that or the location does not exist or you do not have "777" permissions on the file location. I reccomend re-installing your PHP server.

shopphp Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hello N350CA Darn that was fast...Thanks for your reply. The company hosting my website would have the server on their side. I have changed permissions on files I uploaded before so if that will do the trick I'd need to know what file to change permissions on. On my local end there is no php.ini file nor session.save_path file. I guess the php.ini file is on the server side (hosting company).

revraz Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Yes, the php.ini file is server side, but usually you can get to yours via a CPanel. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/103901-solved-phplive-help-script-troubles/#findComment-531937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopphp Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 The tech guy on the Server side is trying to solve it now. Will let you know the outcome shortly.
