    I am currently trying to install modx onto the webspace our hosting provided us with. I am doing this with modx version 0.9.2.1. Below i try to provide as much information as possible. My question is: what can I do or tell my hosting to do to get ModX installed?

    When I run the installer i get a couple of warnings (see below) immidiately on the first screen where i can go to the accept license screen using the next button.

    
    Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(C:\PHP5\sessiondata\sess_9f39ce218e5c7a4db5b5610ced659e89, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in E:\effictiv.nl\wwwroot\effictiv\install\index.php on line 8

    Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at E:\effictiv.nl\wwwroot\effictiv\install\index.php:8) in E:\effictiv.nl\wwwroot\effictiv\install\index.php on line 8
      
    Warning: Unknown: open(C:\PHP5\sessiondata\sess_9f39ce218e5c7a4db5b5610ced659e89, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0
    
    Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:\PHP5\sessiondata) in Unknown on line 0
    


    But i tried to continue nevertheless (since i do not have the possibility of changing permissions with the limited control their control panel has to offer).

    The setup script then outputs the following results when it performs the standard test

    Checking PHP version: OK!

      For this session-related type of problem, I think it could be lack of a sessions folder, or lack of permissions on that folder, or possibly even something to do with cookies/cache in your browser. It could even be some kind of Windows hell, and I won’t even go there. wink

      Here are some threads to look at for details:

      Good luck.

      • But i tried to continue nevertheless (since i do not have the possibility of changing permissions with the limited control their control panel has to offer).

        This is probably not an environment where you’ll be able to run MODx.

        • It looks like your host doesn’t have its php session management configured correctly. It seems to have C:\PHP5\sessiondata\ specified as the folder for saving session files, but doesn’t give your scripts permission to write to that folder. So of course sessions can’t work.

          What you can do is set a folder in your webspace as the session_save_path, making sure that it is writable by your scripts. How one does this in a Windows server environment I can’t say.

            Thank you all for your replies. Our hosting has altered the configuration and session support works correctly now. I got ModX installed and running. In order to use SEF url’s we will probably move the site towards a linux hosting environment on the long run though because of the .htaccess requirement.
