razorsedge,
First create a folder called "tmp" in the root directory of where you installed PHP.
(right-click the tmp folder, go to Properties, make sure Read-only is NOT checked)
Assuming that you installed PHP in Program Files, the file location will look like this...
C:\Program Files\PHP5\tmp
Then, in the php.ini file, you should have this line...
| Code: | | session.save_path = "C:/Program Files/PHP5/tmp" |
IMO, you should forget about Mambo and go with Joomla.
Much better support, faster updates, and better add-ons. |

Ok i still have the same problem. The Session path is still not writeable... i have changed php.ini to " C:\Program Files\PHP5\tmp" and i made sure it was not checked on read only but... everytime i uncheck that and click apply then close it... somehow it rechecks it back... then i went and unchecked the entire folder... so it still says read only. Also i have Register globals on but i kno how to turn that off and then there is another one i dont kno... it is magic_quotes_gpc i seached php for this and could not find it. can someone please help me!!!!
This is an addition... I just tried turnin off the reg. glob. and it put off in it and it did not turn it off. do i need to put it in caps or somethign? |

Did you make sure to end all instances of php in your Task Manager?
Changes to the php.ini don't work if php is still running. |

where you installed the php5 software, it should be in a directory. For example:
| Code: | | C:\php5\ or C:\Program Files\php5\ |
The php.ini file should be in the php5 folder. If it is not there i suggest you use the preconfigured php5 version. from aprelium's site or go to php.net for the updated version of php. I'm using php 5.25 as of right now, for my phpnuke site. it works fine for me

magic_quotes_gpc and register_globals are both two settings in php.ini file
if you create a file called index.php in the htdocs folder with just this line of code | Code: | | <?php phpinfo(); ?> |
you will see if your PHP interpreter is running fine and in the generated page you can also see a line which looks like | Code: | | Loaded Configuration File C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini |
and tells you which php.ini is being used. After changing a setting in php.ini you have to restart Abyss to make it effective. There's no need to restart the whole pc.
About Mambo versus Joomla, you can try both and see which one fits best your needs :) |
