Session File Store: 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"

    Your XAMPP has either insufficient user or access rights for the '/tmp' folder or the folder resides in a different location..

    Possible options:

    A
    Change in constants.php the value for CACHE_SESSION_DIR to _cache/session or in your case /xampp/tmp
    const CACHE_SESSION_DIR		= '/tmp';	// '_cache/session'

    tmp folder for XAMPP Windows

    The default tmp/ folder for XAMPP Windows resides under C:\xampp\tmp, see Session handling.

    const CACHE_SESSION_DIR = '/xampp/tmp';


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

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

  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.
