Session Management problem

PowerStore 4 Installation Wizard
Step 1 of 8

While trying to install on my testing server C:/xampp (PC running Vista) I am unable to get past step 1 of the installation there is a red X in
Session Management
There is a problem with session management on your server. Contact your hosting provider to fix the problem. For more information, please refer to the PHP manual

I think the problem relates to session.save_path ??

Here is a copy of the contents of 'session' in my phi.ini file
session
Session Support enabled
Registered save handlers files user sqlite
Registered serializer handlers php php_binary wddx

Directive Local Value Master Value
session.auto_start Off Off
session.bug_compat_42 On On
session.bug_compat_warn On On
session.cache_expire 180 180
session.cache_limiter nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain no value no value
session.cookie_httponly Off Off
session.cookie_lifetime 0 0
session.cookie_path / /
session.cookie_secure Off Off
session.entropy_file no value no value
session.entropy_length 0 0
session.gc_divisor 100 100
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440
session.gc_probability 1 1
session.hash_bits_per_character 5 5
session.hash_function 0 0
session.name PHPSESSID PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no value no value
session.save_handler files files
session.save_path C:\xampp\tmp C:\xampp\tmp
session.serialize_handler php php
session.use_cookies On On


session.use_only_cookies Off Off
session.use_trans_sid 0 0

Can anybody see what is wrong??
If someone could give me any help I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Peter

you need to use quotes around the session.save-path value:
session.save_path = "C:\xampp\tmp"


and make sure that the path:
C:\xampp\tmp

actually exists on the computer, if it has not been created, you need to create it.

Thanks Jason for your reply. I checked my php.ini file and there are quotes around the path and the folders exist. i attach the file in case you can see from that what is wrong.
Thanks
Peter

I cannot see what the problem is looking at the php.ini file.


does the C:\xamp\tmp folder allow for read write and execute permissions for all users?

Hi Jason,
Sorry for delay in replying. I decided to start from scratch and reinstalled xampp and ran the ps4 install files again. It worked a treat! so I am sorted thanks.

Great, glad to hear it is working.
