session_start() fails

[Guest]

I get the following error message.

Warning: session_start() : open(/tmp\sess_9c7a72 1569fd097dc4dad 85162984ebc,
O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in
c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\julseth\ser enadehoa\defaul t.php on line 3

What do I have wrong? This php page runs okay on my desktop. I am trying to
get my laptop able to run the same web page but, as you can see, it fails.

Thanks for the help....

This message looks familiar - didn't someone jusk ask this somewhere ?
Your /tmp looks suspicious. Unix type file path on a Windows box ?

Haven't heard anything on this problem!! Anyone out there in PHP land have a
suggestion on what's wrong here.

Thanks...

According to Google Groups you didn't address these 2 lines ^^

It appears PHP is trying to open a file to store the sessions using a *nix
filepath. If that's the case you'd have to change the session.save_pa th
variable in php.ini to a windows directory, I believe. See:

http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

On that page you will see:
Note: Windows users have to change this variable in order to use PHP's session
functions. Make sure to specify a valid path, e.g.: c:/temp.

Fixing the php.ini has corrected the problem. Thanks...
