I'm trying to install berta (v 0.6.3b) and I get this error:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]:

on line 75 The error seems to happen on line 75 of class.bertasecurity.php (view source code)
What is wrong and how can I fix it?
Make sure that session directory is writable or you can set a path yourself with:
session_save_path
This comment is also useful if you are using above function.
I think the folder containing the session data cannot be accessed by the PHP process.
If you have not touched your php.ini, the default session.save_handler should be files (which means that session data will be stored in a folder on your file system). The value of session.save_path contains that folder, you should check that it exists and its permissions for your php process.
If you're changing the path that is being used for sessions.
You also might consider, fixing this problem by changing session.save_path variable in your php.ini file.
Then you'll be fixing in your configuration file and not only in your script.
Sessions are saved on the harddisk of your server. Most likely your session save path does not exist. Try setting it to a directory that does exist or that you have read/write rights to.
We encountered this problem when migrating a website from a cPanel server to a different host.
The session.save_path was configured in php.ini and .user.ini inside our public_html/ folder, and was presumably overwriting a default path the host would have wanted to use.
We decided the files were not needed at all, just a hangover from the old server, and deleted/renamed them out of the way, and this fixed the problem.

Error during session start; please check your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. Also ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser.
session_start(): open(C:\Windows\TEMP\sess_3ls3qdk77m9mhsf5tm1cdhrm05bi5kb1, O_RDWR) failed: Invalid argument (22)
in my php.ini file: session.save_path = "C:\temp\phpsessions"
Before it was working fine. So sudden it is showing an error.
anyone can assist with this please.
As already stated by other, there is a chance that
Either the C:\temp\phpsessions directory doesn't exist,Or
Else IIS_IUSRS Read/Write Permission is missing in C:\Windows\Temp
there is no problem with your browser.
Double check the permissions on C:\Windows\Temp\ folder. I think IIS_IUSRS needs to have write access in order for files to be saved.
Consider moving the session folder out of C:\Windows\
Where ever you put the sessions, iis will need permissions to edit it.
PHP will not create this directory structure automatically. So make sure this C:\temp\phpsessions directory exist. If not, then you can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose or create that directory structure manually.
and then
You can change session save path by writing this line for created directory before session start also note here extra '\' because of escape character.
session_save_path("C:\\temp\\phpsessions");
Most probably it is browser problem. Some mistmatch between browser and session data.
Just in case please do the following:
1. Clear the cache, cookies and temp data of your browser (or use another browser for experimental purposes).
2. Clear the directory where session files are stored on serverside (in your case it seems it is C:\Windows\TEMP or C:\temp\phpsessions. Better clean both of them).
If it does not work please share your php.ini file.
Very strange error :
I've my /tmp dir owned by root:root, and mode 777
then into it, there is /tmp/php same owner, same mode.
when I set session.save_path = "/tmp" everything work well,
but when I set session.save_path = "/tmp/php", I get this error in phpmyadmin :
Warning in ./libraries/session.inc.php#101
session_start(): open(/tmp/php/sess_ebaq353ndgtiiljg2ifqe6oes1r5ljar, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)

Am I missing something ?
First, make sure you restarted your web server.
Also, /tmp/ does not always mean the directory /tmp/. Check /var/tmp/,/var/php_sessions/ or for /tmp/private/ and try putting your php directory in there.
I'm not too familiar with nginx php-fpm pools, but it sounds like it may have it's own setting. See this page and look for the section concerning php_admin_value[session.save_path].
Finally, you could troubleshoot this in reverse - you can use find to see where your session files are stored:
find / -name 'sess_*'
This will search the hard drive volumes for the session files and you can then search your configs for the tmp file path to see what is setting the unexpected /tmp directory.
I have a website hosted by FatCow.
I am trying to install the Securimage PHP CAPTCHA on my site by mimicking their quickstart guide, but it failed to work off the bat, so I ran their PHP Test Script on my site to determine the problem.
It threw this error:
The following error occurred when attempting to call session_start():
session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/temp/sess_5e72461407b4ac6283d9897cc49dc4e3, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)
Now, I had an issue before surrounding sessions, so I made a temp folder through my FTP client on my domain's home ('/') folder, and set its file permissions to 777. Then I had proceeded to put a php.ini file also in my domain's home folder with the following declarations:
session.save_path = "/temp"
session.cookie_path = "/temp"
What is the issue? Why can't it create these sessions?
If the system doesn't contain a temp/tmp directory, this appears to be a hosting configuration issue, so you'd have to take that up with your provider.
Your solution to create your own temp directory may work, but your path wouldn't be correct. "/" is only the root as perceived by your FTP session because FTP sessions are typically chroot'd. Your home's root directory as perceived by the web server is going to be your home directory, which may be something like /home/my-domain. You can use the PHP getcwd() function to find out exactly what it is.
i'm working on this joomla site and im not able to upload any extension. if i use normal upload method i get JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Unable to create destination
if i use upload from directory i get Copy failed
JInstaller: :Install: Failed to copy file
i have tried so many solutions found in joomla support forum but none worked for me.
in desperation i even changed tmp ermissions into 777 and now directory permissions (i know its bad) list shows that tmp is writable but show the warning The PHP temporary directory is not writeable by the Joomla! instance, which may cause issues when attempting to upload extensions to Joomla!. If you are having issues uploading extensions, check the '/tmp' and set it to be writeable and see if this fixes the issue. in extensions manager-> warnings
i was wondering whether open_basedir in defect. In my php info file i have
/srv/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs/:/tmp/ - no value . how can i know open_basedir is in defect? and how can i solve this extensions matter?
The problem may be because upload_tmp_dir isn't set in php.
Look in SITE > SYSTEM INFORMATION > PHP INFORMATION and check if upload_tmp_dir has been set. If not, you need to edit php.ini
On our servers (which use open base dir), the setting is:
upload_tmp_dir=/tmp
This value could be different for you, depending on your server configuration.
Set permission to 777
use full path for logs and tmp e.g.:
/var/www/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs/tmp
In the Joomla Backend, go to:
Site >> System Information >> Directory Permissions
and see if the "tmp" folder says "Writable"
I had the same problem with one of my shared hosts. The issue was that even though I had set literally everything to 777 (purely for testing purposes), I didn't have file ownership. If this is the case for you too, then you will have to talk to your hosting provider.
I am on a shared-hosting account with GoDaddy it's a windows Server and I am getting this error when attempting to upload a file:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(D:\Hosting\6903\html\pdfs\ALDOmypdfAP.pdf) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\Hosting\6903\html\back.php on line 436
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'D:\Temp\php\php98C.tmp' to 'D:\Hosting\6903\html\pdfs\ALDOmypdfAP.pdf
I have heard that I can set my php.ini file to change the directory that it's immediately being uploaded to, which would work, however I can't access my php.ini file.
I have tried to create my own php.ini file in the root of my directory, and it causes all sorts of problems, such as not finding the correct MySQL configuration files, goDaddy's support on this was to remove the custom php.ini file, ridiculous, I know.
I have tried to use ini_set like this
ini_set('upload_tmp_dir', 'D:/Hosting/6903/html/pdfs/');
But it hasn't made any effect. Do I have any other options here? Thank you!
UPDATE: From Coda the Octal permissions read 777 of the destination directory.
As far as I know, you need to give the IUSR_MACHINENAME account write permissions specifically on the folder that you are trying to write to, or else it will fail. I don't know what Coda is, but can it allow you to set permissions for specific users?
Had the similar problem.
Fixed it by giving all permissions to usergroup "Authenticated User".
It took me couple of hours to realize it. This post kind of gave me the hint.
I hope my share will help others.
Maybe this can help...
Find and open php.ini in PHP folder (In my case c:\Program files(86)\PHP)
Search for upload_tmp_dir word and do one of two posibilities
--Posibility 1
3.1 Set upload_tmp_dir = "[Some folder with full permission for IUSR user]"
--Posibility 2
3.2 Search in windows explorer for the folder that is setted in upload_tmp_dir (In my case C:\WINDOWS\Temp)
3.2.1 Right click on C:\WINDOWS\Temp -> Properties -> Security -> Edit button -> Add, then add IUSR user and set full permissions to this -> Accept button.
I think this can help someone.
The problem probably comes from the final destination directory more than the temporary directory.
Normally, if the file cannot be uploaded at all, $_FILES['yourfile']['error'] will be set to UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE (7). From the error message, it tells us the problem is that move_uploaded_file can't either read from the temporary directory (unlikely), or write to the destination directory (most likely).
Check and maybe try changing the permissions on the destination directory.
