PHP session problem

[cwilkinson1998]

Hi there, I'm trying to install a PHP script on my VPS and it won't let me continue with the installation unless PHP session support is enabled, I've looked in my php.ini file and enabled things that need to be enabled. Does anyone one how to properly turn this on?

if you want to run php script in your vps. first you musy install php
then if the session problem.

you must start with

PHP Code:

<?php
session_start(); //start with this

$_SESSION['FREEVPS'] = 'FreeVPS.us';

echo $_SESSION['FREEVPS']; //print FreeVPS.us
?>

What error does it say?
You should use something like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = "Chris";
echo $_SESSION['name'];
//destroy the session with session_destroy();
?>

It is a script, pre-made. When I type in the address of the installer into my web browser it shows that php session support must be enabled.

Have you resolved it?

It may just need a simple folder creation such as:

Code:

mkdir /var/lib/php/session
chmod 777 /var/lib/php/session

Of course, you'll have to check your php.ini for where the session folder is defined and where it's defined to.

See http://www.afterlogic.com/forum/forum_po...2895&PN=21

It may be safe to ignore, but try their test script linked to on that page.

Thanks infinity! That's all it took, in the php.ini file it had something about it being in /path. So I previously had chmodded the /path folder, but it turned out it was a comment in the end explaining how the session path worked. I tried the path you suggested and it worked!

Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions, I appreciate it!
