<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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).</FONT></DIV>

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