Session save path?

[DaveP]

I'm installing Joomla, and in the installation it needs a session save path to be set. I see when I run phpinfo() that there is a session_save_path confiuration parameter. How do I set that?

You can just accept the default and it will work fine.

However, if you want to change it, put an .htaccess file in your public_html folder (or whever you are installing Joomla) and put this:

php_value session.save_path = "/home/your_username/tmp"

Replace your_username with your actual username. This will force the session save path to your tmp folder in your home directory, which is more secure.

Thanks, Rob - I will try that...
