Apache won't start when php.ini file is in the winnt2k dir (?)

[blondy]

Hi folks,

I know this seems like it should be in the PHP forum but i've already tried there and I am going slowly nuts!

I cannot get sessions to start on one of my W2K servers. I have 2 others that run the exact same pages with no trouble. The only difference being that this one was upgraded from NT4.

Error Message Follows:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_03a287811c0b171992e86acddcef74ad, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\php\app\tgsonline\auth.php on line 14

blah, blah,...

I have edited the php.ini files ad nauseum and it just doesn't make any difference whatsoever. As it is there is no reference to a directory /tmp.

The other strange thing is when I look at phpinfo.html it says:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path = c:\winnt2k

This is not the case, the file resides in the c:\winnt directory and if I move it into c:\winnt2k Apache will not start.

PLEASE, if there is anyone who can shed some light, it would be a HUGE help.

Cheers,

Therese

I had a similar problem with PHPDev, same fail but I upgraded to win2k from win98. I tried everything and finally unistalled PHPDev then re-installed and everything worked.
