    Problems during installation in Requirements step

    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??

    Cheers

    do you have session cookies enabled?

  • 2005-11-17 11:26:41

    Yes

    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.

    session.save_path

    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..

    Good

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

    Install error on Step 2-fresh install

    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.

    Fatal error: session_start ... line 27 install/index.php

    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.

    IIS Problems

    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
