After installing osCommerce, I resolved the installation errors except this one: Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_1498128a1e3f110f18956d56bd8fee80, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /www/m/mysite/htdocs/osCommerce/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67. I can edit the line in question, but I don't know what to edit it to. Can anyone help?

In your two configure.php files, one in catalog/includes and one in catalog/admin/includes, towards the bottom there is a define of STORE_SESSIONS with a value of the empty string. Change it to be defined as 'mysql'.

Cool! It worked great. Thanks, Steve, for the assist.

Thank you Steve.

This was also a problem for my osCommerce installation.
Something must have changed on the server just last week.

I was all ready for a big night of code surveillance :rolleyes:

It did change last month sometime where the use of a shared temp folder for sessions was no longer permitted.
