stuck on step 2 >> Installer Step 2: Writable Session Save Path (/tmp) Not A Valid Di

[bluskyguy]

I'm trying to setup SugarCRM (freebie version) on a windows 2003 box running mysql 4 + php 4.4.0.
Everything is looking green except for the c:\temp folder...i'm receiving the following message:

In order for your SugarCRM installation to function properly, please ensure all of the system check items listed below are green. If any are red, please take the necessary steps to fix them.

Component Status
PHP version Unsupported (ver 4.4.0)
MySQL Database OK
XML Parsing OK
cURL Library OK
Writable SugarCRM Configuration File (config.php) OK
Writable Custom Directory OK
Writable Modules Sub-Directories and Files OK
Writable Data Sub-Directories OK
Writable Cache Sub-Directories OK
Writable Session Save Path (c:/temp) Not A Valid Directory
PHP Safe Mode Turned Off OK
PHP Allow Call Time Pass Reference Turned On OK
PHP Register Long Arrays On OK
PHP Memory Limit >= 10M OK (No Limit)

Any ideas?

Do any Sugar support guys frequent this board?

See your System Checks.
Is session.save_path ok? I am assuming not.

.;c:\apachefriends\xampp\tmp
is not a valid windows path (php interprets this as the actual folder(. ) and(; ) c:\apachefriends\xampp\tmp).

Now go to your php.ini and change that to c:\apachefriends\xampp\tmp, so there shoul be a line:

session.save_path = c:\apachefriends\xampp\tmp

This folder exists? I am assuming so.

Go to your windows explorer and verify by right clicking that folder that it is not read only and so on.

That's it.

Any further problems? I am assuming so, so here is my example:
session.save_path = c:\php4

Created that folder and it is working for me.

OK, I'll give that a shot. I know right now my session directory is off of c:\temp and exists...permissions look good as well. I'll try creating another folder though and see if it works.
