Warning errors in PHP

[access]

I am a small business owner that would like to use SugarCRM open source but can't get it installed. I have spent hours and can't invest anymore time in trying. Is it possible to hire someone that can do it for me?
Or if someone can help me with the following errors, I can follow directions very well.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/home/public_html/tmp//sess_83729f1b88760738a2b4f02b8f029a69, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/a/r/i/ariggins/html/sugar/install.php on line 42

Sound like your permissions ... see this document http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki/index.p...sions_on_Linux for the correct file permissions. As a temporary fix you could try to apply 777 across the instance .. BUT YOU MUST go back and do it as per the recommended settings.

To apply permissions:

chmod -R 777 yoursugar_rootdirectory

This tells me a story:

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/home/public_html/tmp/) in Unknown on line 0

Open your php.ini and change the instruction session.save_path from /home/public_html/tmp/ to /home/public_html/tmp (without the slash).

Another option: set your session path in config.php (in the Sugar root directory) to say cache/session/ (with slash) and create a directory cache/session with 775 and the webserver user as owner.

Hi everyone,

I've been helping out to get this resolved. It turns out that this is due to running under a Godaddy shared hosting environment. Most of the basic infrastructure (Linux, Apache, MySQL) is running on shared systems, with only a small file space dedicated for web hosting.

I created a tmp/sessions directory in this space, and pointed the php session.save_path variable to this directory (using the full path on the shared file system).

Now the install starts correctly, but fails because the install script requires the database admin user and password, but Godaddy only allows a user to create databases via a web admin interface, and will not give out the root password for MySQL.

Has anyone ever hacked the install scripts to get around this?

After all, the root user is required, but there is an option to use a different username for the Sugar database.

Our db is already created with a user called sugaraccess.

Any further help is appreciated, or do we have to upgrade the Godaddy hosting to a "virtual dedicated" or "dedicated" server?

Thanks
