[PHP] Session Data Not Saving

[Jesse Warden]

I am getting errors when I try to start a session.

I get a permission denied (13) for trying to open the session data.
I also get Failed to write session data (files).  Please verify that the
current setting of session.save_path is correct.

I got a few others, but they didn't look to pertinent.  I am running this on
my personal web server using win2k, IIS 5 (or so), and PHP4.

Any suggestions?

 Should I change session.save_path?  I have no idea of the ramifications of
 doing that, therefore I am not touching it unless someone says so.

The error message is quite explicit.

As a quick fix and to confirm whether that is the problem:

Check what session.save_path is set to and set whatever directory that is 
to be world read/writeable.

 As for permission denied, I am barely wet around the ears (or something)
 when it comes to permission setting.  I am not sure what to set to allow
 who to access what.

I'm not sure how W2K (that's what you're using?) runs the webserver. In Linux 
one would set the directory to be accessible by the user running the 
webserver.
