Hi, Unfortunately it is not possible (for me) to initialise the 'session.save_path' directive in PHP 5. Up to version 4.3.5. there was no problem and the directive was set to '/tmp'. After upgrading to 5.0.2. and later to 5.1.2. I did not succeed in initialising the directive. /usr/local/lib/php/php.ini: session.save_path = "/tmp" Configuration history related to the 'session.save_path' directive: PHP Version 4.0.0 /tmp good PHP Version 4.3.5 /tmp good PHP Version 5.0.2 no value wrong PHP Version 5.1.2 no value wrong Checked with phpinfo(). I have checked the NEWS file and found two remarks concerning the save_path directive: - Fixed bug #33072 (Add a safemode/open_basedir check for runtime "session.save_path" change using session_save_path() function). (Rasmus) - Fixed bug #33520 (crash if safe_mode is on and session.save_path is changed). (Dmitry) So my question is: Is it possible to define the directive 'session.save_path' in PHP 5 in the php.ini file? Matthijs Dijkstra
