Re: Physical path is incorrect

At a technical level, that message literally means that when PHP checked to see if the path entered could be found on the server ... that it didn't find it, so a "failed" result came back.

Does it make any difference if you add another / to the end of it ?

PHP Session.Save_Path = \VHOSTS3SHARE01\phpsessions$ -->Unwriteable Click here for more info

Re: Physical path is incorrect

What PHP version is running on the server?
Do you know what version of IIS and Windows Server are running on it?
Is there a particular reason why you're choosing windows hosting instead of linux?

Re: Physical path is incorrect

JFTR, I had something like this with a client on a *nix server. Didn't like the pathname to the domain root directory that ZC suggested, but creating a new zencart directory and pointing the installer at that seemed to clear it. I guess it's something to do with permissions on the root directory or something.
