Admin not accessible vs 3.0.1

[Guest hedson]

I am on a Yahoo Hosting Site with all the current software. The store comes up, the db tables are there, but I cannot access the admin functions. I see from past threads this has been a problem....what is the cure?

I had a similar problem with my test server at home. I had to modify the session path in the php.ini file to point to a session directory.

But in general I think if your server doesnt support PHP sessions, you will not be able to login to the admin panel. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

So perphaps your webserver is NOT adequate to run CC3? As you won't be able to configure your php setup.

You are absolutely right.

No alternate code, becase of auth.inc.php

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['ccAdmin'])){

	header("Location: ".$GLOBALS['rootRel']."admin/login.php?goto=".currentPage());

	exit;

I received this from Yahoo Support:

Please note in order for PHP session handling to work, you will need to

create a 'tmp' subdirectory under web site root directory first.

That solved the problem.

Do NOT forget make 'tmp' public accessible :^^:
