SessionFileStore: inaccessible directory "/tmp"

Installed wacko, all successful until finally got error message:
SessionFileStore: inaccessible directory "/tmp" and blocked ("rien ne va plus")


Tried/checked
– manually make new directory tmp + releasing rights
– opened config.php and looks fine


Installation:
– 'wacko_version' => '5.5.8',
– locally, on xampp windows ApacheFriends XAMPP Version 7.2.4


What did I do wrong? Tnx in advance!

  1. Re: inaccessible directory "/tmp"

    You / xampp have probably insufficient user or access rights for the '/tmp' folder.

    Possible options:

    A
    Change in constants.php the value for CACHE_SESSION_DIR to _cache/session or in your case /xampp/tmp
    define('CACHE_SESSION_DIR',		'/tmp');	// '_cache/session'


    B
    Change in the secondary config / Admin panel System section the session_store value for Session handling from File (1) -> Database (2).

    C
    Address your insufficient user or access rights for the '/tmp' folder. On Windows you might want chose option A or B.

    Update
    The default tmp/ folder for XAMPP Windows resides under C:\xampp\tmp, see comment below.
     define('CACHE_SESSION_DIR',		'/xampp/tmp');

  2. A not working; C done; B= ??

    Tnx for suggestions:
    option A: done, but returned "SessionFileStore: inaccessible directory "/_cache/session""
    option C: done, all Windows permissions set to "allow" etc
    option B: cannot find file to edit, where exactly is it?

    Tnx again, ciao

  3. Re: session_store settings

    To A, same issue like C, set the necessary access rights for the folder /_cache/session and user (xampp).

    To B, you can change the value session_store either in the config table or via the Admin panel in the System section.

    AP change session store modi
    Change the session store modi from File to Database.

  5. XAMPP Windows folder for session data /xampp/tmp

    The default tmp/ folder for XAMPP Windows resides under C:\xampp\tmp. I totally missed the fact that the path differs on Windows.

    constants.php
     define('CACHE_SESSION_DIR',		'/xampp/tmp');


    Added a note about setting the path for CACHE_SESSION_DIR to the release notes and installation instructions.
