Error when attempting to install
Permalink
I'm unsure exactly what I need to adjust. I'm more a .Net guru than a PHP guy.
At:
/C5/index.php
Error:
“Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/php_sessions) in
Unknown on line 0”

thats a server configuration issue, the webserver doesn't have write access to that directory, almost every CMS will give you that error
Thanks.
This particular Unix box is not managed by me.
Do I ask them to add write access to the directory and that should help? (Thanks again).

Here's what they replied:
"The settings on the root folder are 755 which is standard and should be ample for anything needed."
I'm stuck.

I'm sorry, as I wasn't able to get info from the host, but they resolved it and it worked. I am guessing it had to do with permissions.
I didn't intend to post 3 times. I apologize. Anyway, I got in touch with my hosting company, webhero.com, and they resolved it by changing php to run as an apache module instead of fastcgi AND changing permissions. Interestingly, I later found this article in the community which I bookmarked:

I am on Plesk hosting so this article would be very helpful if I ever need to run PHP in fastCGI mode.
Also, I noticed that the problem in this article was about how to get it to work using fastcgi. A reply by katz515 in that article:
"[If] ...PHP runs in module mode you need to switch the group and the owner of the files to "apache:apache" before you install concrete5.
- log onto SSH as root
- go to the concrete5 root directory
- use "chown -R apache:apache *" to switch the ownership and the group of all concrete5 files to apache"
I am sure this is what webhero.com administration did to fix it. And, yeah, if you get this error, it is most likely a server config issue.
