Topic: Writeable Session Save Path (/tmp) error

[paul_NZ]

Started with a stock install of 6.0.1-01, everything fully functional.

Attempted and install of SugarCRM into an ibay (as I did in a 5.6 server). SugarCRM reported it requires PHP4.2 or higher so went to http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/ and downloaded his php4.3.8 upgrade script and ran.

Upgrade worked fine and systems remains functional EXCEPT that SugarCRM now reports "Writeable Session Save Path (/tmp)" as not being a Valid Directory.

I have run /sbin/e-smih/db accounts delprop my_ibay_name PHPBaseDir / and the signal-event ibay-modify, in case it was related ... still no joy.

I have also run this script as http://<server>/<scriptname>.php?dir=/tmp

<?php
echo "<b>{$_GET['dir']}</b><br>";
echo (is_dir($_GET['dir'])) ? "is valid directory" : "invalid directory";
echo "<br>";
echo (is_writable($_GET['dir'])) ? "writable" : "not writable";
?>

which reports

/tmp
invalid directory
not writable

Any help appreciated and yes I have tried searching for a solution here but haven't found anything related.

Had similar problem with another piece of software.

Do a search on open_basedir

Tried a number of the items mentioned in this link and others (thanks to 'crazybob's' tip) and finally resolved it by disabling the the PHP sandbox feature.

One last question.

What should be copied to the /usr/share/php directory ?

Hi Paul,

Did you have any success with SugarCRM on SME ?

Hello.

Another way to fix the "tmp: invalid directory" error with Sugar CRM.
Enter these two commands at the shell:

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop <ibay_name> PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/<ibay_name>/:/tmp

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify <ibay_name>

Substitute the name of the ibay you are installing into for <ibay_name>

cheers,
Silas.

P.S. Still trying to work out how to install cURL library. Will get back to you.
