I have Debian Sarge 3.1 installed on my server. Now I try to install Atutor but when I go trought the step "Requirements" I have this problem:
[quote] session.save_path Directory Not Writeable[/quote]
and I can't continue. I check the /var/lib/php4 that is the directory in where PHP store sessions vars and it is writable because another application using them. So how I can fix this problem??

do you have session cookies enabled?
2005-11-17 11:26:41
Yes, see the session directives from php.ini file
session.save_handler = files
session.use_cookies = 1
; session.use_only_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
gc_probability/gc_divisor,
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 0
As you can see cookies are enabled. I test another applications as vBulletin, Invision Board and it\'s work with cookies and sessions and not bring any problems to me.

do you have cookies enabled in your browser?
thinking that perhaps our check for session.save_path is not correct. for now, comment out that part and continue with the install.
i.e. comment out lines 186-198 in /install/index.php
we'll look into it more tho..

I comment the lines as you can say me and now it works fine.
Thanks

Greetings,
I'm using the following for a new install of Atutor:
operating system - Windows NT 5.2 build 3790
version of ATutor - 1.5.1
versions of php - 5.0.5
version of mysq l - 5
webserver & version - IIS6
changes to default settings - None
web browser being used - Firefox 1.06, IE 6
I can open the index.php first step page no problem but when I click on continue I get the following error message:
[i] Fatal error: session_start() [function.session-start]: Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: D:\PHP\sessions) in D:\Inetpub\wwwlearn\tutor\install\index.php on line 27[/i]
I have session cookies enabled in PHP, and I did take a look at uncommenting lines 186-198 but I think the script is hanging right after line 27.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I decided to try uncommenting the line 27 which did get me to the next step of the install process (requirements) but when I clicked on the ATutor Handbook I received the following error which is basically the same re: sessions.
[i]Fatal error: session_start() [function.session-start]: Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: D:\PHP\sessions) in D:\Inetpub\wwwlearn\tutor\documentation\common\body_header.inc.php on line 17 [/i]
At this rate, I'm going to be uncommenting like mad and I think this will affect the use of ATutor in a bad way.

I would suggest you move to an Apache Web server. PHP support in IIS is quite buggy.
The bug referecne is for php 4.3.9-10
