Session errors with a new PHP installation 1

[jimoblak]

I just installed a new version of PHP (trashing everything from the last) on WinXP. I am now getting session errors:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_e8fd98e89eedec582b587584ec7a24a2, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in C:\WebDocs\session.php on line 3

The script was:
<?php

session_start();
if (!$PHPSESSID) {
session_register('pagemenu');
} else if (!$pagemenu) {
session_register('pagemenu');
}

$pagemenu=$newpagemenu;
?>


This page worked before so I am certain the problem is due to a misconfiguration of the new installation. What did I screw up?

phpinfo for Sessions is:

It's session.save_path.

If you're on XP, the path /tmp may not have much meaning. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Thanks sleipnir214 - you replied faster than it took me to scroll through php.ini and find it.
