Doobie, have you executed the setup assistant first? This is the script setup.php that is at the top level of the YACS directory. |

In reply to Bernard: yes i did, in my case "//localhost/yacs/setup.php" (mysql 4.0.18 PHP4.3.9 apache 2.0.52 all running on XP) |

Hmmm, this reminds me a similar case a YACS user had some month ago. In his case, the web server (i.e., Apache) setup was not correct and session data could not be saved in the file system. Obviously the error reported by your server also says it can't handle session data as expected. Do you have the same symptom when launching /yacs/control/test.php ? If yes, you should check session.* variables in php.ini. Where are saved session files? Has your server enough rights to write there? |

In reply to Bernard: i changed the following section on the php.ini to get a part of the setup working: " session.save_handler = \temp " the setup scrip start and i can fill in the needed information for the creation database_server "localhost " database_user "testuser" database_password "testuser" database "yacs" (which i created before) after the overview of the inserted settings the following screen info comes vissible: Please configure software extensions No configuration file for extensions has been found. If you are installing a brand new server, follow the link to create one. Look for software extensions. after the activation of the link the following information comes: Scan scripts for hooks Only associates may use this page Control Panel When i press control panel the program loops back to the previous page. When i check the database yacs i see that no tables are created. one thing is for sure, my user has enough rights because i used cms drupal before. about the rights on the server, i am the lucky one to serve my one server with permission of my ISP. |

Have you allowed cookies at your browser? And which browser are you using? |
| Doobie 7 posts |
There is only one right browser FIREFOX 1.0, and cookies are allowed but will be automaticly deleted after closing/ shutdown server. |

I agree, Firefox is really great  In order to move forward, can you trigger the script control/test.php and reload it several times? This script has a counter that should be incremented on each call. The counter is saved in session data. Therefore, if this works ok at your server it would prove that the session sub-system works ok. If the counter does not increment correctly, then you would have to concentrate on the session sub-system. |

I GOT IT WORKING !i seems that there is a bug or know problem with my version of PHP.You have to change the following 2 lines of php.ini to get it, in my case on windows XP working: [Session] ; session.save_handler = user session.save_handler = FILES ;session.save_path = /tmp session.save_path = \temp now i can finally explore the world of "Yet Another Community System" |
