Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/home/content/02/12082502/tmp/sess_i0jns9frhr91br4brn229lj1n2, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/02/12082502/html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 532

Hi.
I have found such a solution:

These warnings were caused by the default session.save_handler setting in Joomla. To remove the warnings, you'll need to:

Download the session.php file from www/ libraries/ joomla/ session/ in section B of your FTP program.
Open session.php in a text editor, and then edit the following line (around line 102):
change
Code: Select all
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');

to
Code: Select all
    //ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');


Save the change.
Upload the file back to the same directory to replace the original session.php file.

Now refresh the installation page and the warnings should be gone.


Sorry I didn't test it because I didn't have such a error before.

Sorry, buy it did not work.
Here is the modified code:
/**
* Constructor
*
* @param string $store The type of storage for the session.
* @param array $options Optional parameters
*
* @since 11.1
*/
public function __construct($store = 'none', $options = array())
{
// Need to destroy any existing sessions started with session.auto_start
if (session_id())
{
session_unset();
session_destroy();
}

// Set default sessios save handler
//ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files');

// Disable transparent sid support
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', '0');

// Create handler
$this->_store = JSessionStorage::getInstance($store, $options);

// Set options
$this->_setOptions($options);

$this->_setCookieParams();

Are you using Joomla 1.5 or Joomla 2.5 version?

p.s.
maybe this is not a Quickstart bug but Joomla or your hosting settings issue?


Please install "naked" joomla from Joomla.org - I wonder if this error message will be shown again?

Joomla 2.5
I think is related to hosting because I installed the Quickstart package on a different domain and worked without errors.

Now I'll turn to hosting support.

Thanks for your help.

Just to inform you. The problem was with the hosting. A php.ini file was corrupted. Once replaced, everything went well; the template via quickstart is on.
Thnx for your help.

Thanks that you checked on different hosting, because most of beginners users don't do that and they have only claim to us that did not work. :ugeek:
