[Chameleon] trouble getting started

[Jacob Delfos]

Hi Nate,

Check your php configuration file (in winxp, it's c:\windows\php.ini), and see whether your session path is valid (look for "session.save_path"). Chameleon needs php to be configured to use sessions. I do not think your session path necessarily has to be accessable to the www. But php must have write-access to it (on windows, that should work as is).

regards,

Jacob

» Hello all,
» 
» I have followed the installation instructions and tried to create a 
» simple chameleon app, but I get the following error:
» 
» FATAL ERROR: Session save path () doesn't exist or is not writable
» 
» Is this a problem with the Chameleon configuration?  We have 
» been using
» PHP and MapServer on this same host with no problems, however 
» I don't know
» if we have used PHP sessions before on this host.  Could it 
» be it is using
» the default PHP session directory, which is not writeable by www?  The
» chameleon/data directory ("server_data_path" parameter in 
» chameleon.xml)  
» is writeable by the web server.

» Thanks,
» Nate
