Session Issue on UI & Admin Console :: Win XP :: php 4.4.8

[DrByte]

1) The IU is displaying the message:

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: c:/apache2/htdocs/onlinestore.com/production/cache/page_parse_time.log. Sessions will not work until this directory is created."

If you look closely, you'll note that c:/apache2/htdocs/onlinestore.com/production/cache/page_parse_time.log is a *filename*, not a directory.

The error message says "Warning: The sessions directory does not exist ...", as an attempt to provide a hint.

In Admin->Configuration->Sessions->Session Directory, you need to enter the path to a writable *directory*, not a filename.

Your second issue is directly related to the first.

DrByte,

Thanks for the guidance.

I was unable to even reach the admin page because of the errors, but I was able to query sql to replace the path string manually, and all is working OK now.

Thanks for the kind assistance.
