PHP errors.

[svankamon]

Hi, im having a problem with php.? Im not using the preconfigured version. The version is 5.2.6

Im trying to get a script to install phpmyadmin for me/automatically. The errors are marked below. Hope you can help. cheers.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\) is not within the allowed path(s): (c:\USERSITES\reseller\sjh\MYDOMAIN.COM) in C:\USERSITES\reseller\sjh\MYDOMAIN.COM\special\phpMyAdmin\libraries\session.inc.php on line 86

Fatal error: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in C:\USERSITES\reseller\sjh\MYDOMAIN.COM\special\phpMyAdmin\libraries\session.inc.php on line 86

I dont know the ins and outs of this as its server on an IIS system. any help apreciated very much. good luck etc

Sounds like a session_save_path problem. What do have this set at in your php.ini?

[svankamon]

Hi, cheers for the responce. I cant access my system at present as im working on it. However if memory servers me right its the default which is:

C:\tmp

[svankamon]

Hi sorry i just accessed it. The path is:

session.save_path="C:\WINDOWS\Temp"

If im correct i belive that the folder: Temp needs sub directories within it as php wont create them and apparently it needs the subfolders.? I dont even understand that as no folder names are indicated.?

Thanks again.

Hi, these are my php session settings. Hope someone can point to a solution. However the errors previously mentioned arent showing now. Now i get a 403 forbidden page

[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = files

; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path
; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this
; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
;
; As of PHP 4.0.1, you can define the path as:
;
; session.save_path = ";/path"
;
; where N is an integer. Instead of storing all the session files in
; /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and
; store the session data in those directories. This is useful if you
; or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is
; a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions.
;
; NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically.
; You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose.
; NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to
; use subdirectories for session storage
;
; The file storage module creates files using mode 600 by default.
; You can change that by using
;
; session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path"
;
; where MODE is the octal representation of the mode. Note that this
; does not overwrite the process's umask.
;session.save_path = "C;MODE;/temp"

; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 1

;session.cookie_secure =

; This option enables administrators to make their users invulnerable to
; attacks which involve passing session ids in URLs; defaults to 0.

; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = PHPSESSID

; Initialize session on request startup.
session.auto_start = 0

; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.

; Define the probability that the 'garbage collection' process is started

; on each request.

session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 1000

; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

; NOTE: If you are using the subdirectory option for storing session files
; (see session.save_path above), then garbage collection does *not*
; happen automatically. You will need to do your own garbage
; collection through a shell script, cron entry, or some other method.
; For example, the following script would is the equivalent of
; setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 1440 (1440 seconds = 24 minutes):
; cd /path/to/sessions; find -cmin +24 | xargs rm

; PHP 4.2 and less have an undocumented feature/bug that allows you to
; to initialize a session variable in the global scope, albeit register_globals
; is disabled. PHP 4.3 and later will warn you, if this feature is used.
; You can disable the feature and the warning separately. At this time,
; the warning is only displayed, if bug_compat_42 is enabled.

I no longer get the errors mentioned in my first post.? who knew it?

I now get the following error white IIS page when i try to open a php test/info page in my root folder.

http://mydomain.com/test.php

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)


And when i try to open phpmyadmin which the script im using installed on my server i get the following page error:

403 forbidden.

PHPmyadmin is in a subfolder to my root, and the test.php is in the root folder.

I must admit i didnt understand the php.net instructions above in previous post. actaully i understood it but dont have a clue as to how.

Thanks again.

Hi, thanks, the script im talking about here is HC7. Sure you know that. Cheers.

phpmyadmin is a bit difficult to install on a web server. Just gotta have an sql server to have it running correctly. I had problems with it just getting it to work with the server, thanks to Abyss underground for helping me out :D
