Test Failed

[photolodge]

Hi,

Unziped files and uploaded to dir called tester. Launch index.php and get the following error.



Warning: open(/tmp\sess_9a18fff4222fefa552a9bbb86bdb6a7b, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in c:/program files/abria merlin/apache/htdocs/tester/index.php on line 3
function reload(){window.location.href = "/tester/index.php?st=x";}setTimeout("reload();", 3000);

PS. This server is not public, is this a problem

Not a problem that it isn't public... If you read the error you can clearly (maybe only for me) see that your problem is that your sessions folder can't be written to... actually in this case, it can't be found.

You're using a Unix path in a Windows OS. Crack open your php.ini config file and change the session.save_path to a world writable valid path in your OS.

Like create a folder called C:\TEMP\phpsessions
Then set permissions on that folder to be Full Access for Everyone.
Then in php.ini, set session.save_path to "C:/TEMP/phpsessions" [and yes I did use / on purpose... it's easier than using double backslashes]

I will try latter today and post my findings. Thanks again for your help.

oK, I added the temp directory and pointed my php toward it and restarted apache. Called on index and get this...

Sounds great right?

But the page now seems to auto refresh every second and when I click to continue nothing happens except for another refresh with the extension added to the URL of st=x. Thanks for all your help. I really like your script and rather pay you the $20.00 then to take a week and write my own.

This private install on win xp apache is probably not setup up properly, so I may need U a few more times. We only use this server for LAN testing and internal business program sharing.

Sessions still aren't storing correctly so the test script never sees the okay to continue...

Do you run other web scripts or are you setting this up just for the calendar?

[photolodge]

No other php scripts or mysql tables have been used on this installation.
It is a fresh install but I do plan to run other internal scripts with it.

[photolodge]

I might be bugging U for no reason. Tomarro I will go thru all the php.ini and apache config files and make sure everything is ok.

Thanks

You may want to try this since it is a new install. This is what I use for local testing and it works quite well right out of the box.

Thanks for all the info.

I still cannot get it to work correctly after checking ever config file and permission I can think of. Have you had sucsess with other windows apache installations?

I can see in the temp folder where a session ID has been written but with zero byte to the file.

I hate to reinstall apache so I will have to just wait and see what happens.

[Brian]

As long as the server properly supports PHP sessions, it should work.

Sessions is handled by PHP. It's not the calendar that writes them to your server. It's PHP that's having the problem. Either with permissions, space allocations, paths issues, etc. Once PHP is set up to properly store sessions, the calendar will then be able to use this function to store your credentials.

[photolodge]

Ya, I know what you are saying is true. Might have to go for reinstall!

[photolodge]

Ok Brian, I moved everything off the server and will try your sugesstion http://www.wampserver.com/ I will let you know.

Ok, I reinstalled apache and now the sessions are working. The script passed and everything looks good. Thanks again. I sent you payment.
