Sessions.php

[Chris The Ninja]

I am getting the following errors


I've been searching the forums in here for a couple of hours now and can't seem to find anything.

Admin->Configuration->Sessions->Session Directory ... needs to be set to a valid path on your server

Right now it's set to:
home/hri/public_html/cart/cache

but should be set to:
home/hebtv/public_html/store/cache


You might also check the settings in your configure.php files for DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE

That is actually how it reads --it reads ...home/hebtv/... but it doesn't seem to be working properly --I just changed servers and i've been able to just transfer everything and modify the configuire.php before I'm just not sure why it's not working this time


my configuire.php reads as follows(With the private data removed)

Is there anything here that may help?

[Chris The Ninja]

Sorry none of that did me any good. I learned all that the last time I switched servers but I didn't have this problem the last time.

Warning: session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/hri/public_html/cart/cache) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/hebtv:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp)

1. Zen Cart is attempting to start a PHP session.

2. It is being told from your configuration that the place to store its temporary session information is at:
/home/hri/public_html/cart/cache

3. But, that is an invalid path.
The server is reporting that valid paths start with these patterns:
/home/hebtv
/usr/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php
/tmp

4. The only place Zen Cart will get the foldername for temporary session storage is from your setting in Admin->Configuration->Sessions->Session Directory
Specifically, in your database, this is the configuration_key of SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY in your configuration table.
Changing it in the admin area changes it in the table.


The fix_cache_key.php utility, documented in the link I posted above, lets you set this without even logging in to the admin.

I installed and attempted this and even got the same errors on the fix_cache_key.php page. It did not work.


my store is located at http://www.hebtv.net/store if you'd like to see the error as they appear on page

Nevermind on that one that one did work but now I am getting an error in my admin so that I can't loggin:

0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
in:
[delete from db_cache]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

[DrByte]

0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED

means that the information in the configure.php file for database access doesn't match the required settings for your server's database.

- username
- password
- database host/server
- database name

The most common cause of this is a user that hasn't been granted access to the database, or incorrect information, or a true problem on the database server.

[Chris The Ninja]

I figured it out:!!

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'hebtv_');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '*******');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '*******');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'hebtv_store');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'db'


I was missing the db_prefix on my old sever it didn't need a prefix but it would seem on this one it does
