[SOLVED] just a weird error in one shared hosting

Hello,

Did just a fresh install via /install for unmodified MODx 1.0.3 I downloaded and just after install when I enter username and password chosen during installation the page just reloads and can’t get in. On front end:

« MODx Parse Error »

MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: Unknown: open(/home/la01/9356760/tmp/sess_fda196a6db81fcd23b17b6bb64d0a7ef, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: Unknown
Line: 0

There’s PHP v5.2.0 (register_globals OFF) & mySQL v5.0

At server’s error log I see loads of errors like this:

[Tue May 11 00:29:35 2010] [error] [client 90.191.173.158] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href=’function.session-start’>function.session-start</a>]: open(/home/la01/9356760/tmp/sess_fda196a6db81fcd23b17b6bb64d0a7ef, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/la01/9356760/manager/includes/config.inc.php on line 60, referer: http://www.restmark.ee/manager/

Anyone seen such issue on any hosting? I never seen something like this on any hosting I have installed MODx

It looks like there’s a problem with the directory where session data is kept (/tmp). You need write permission for that dir. or you need to change where session data is put.

Thanks, that solved the problem: I just created "tmp" folder next to "assets" and "manager" and chmod it to 777 and that solved the issue. Weird though, I never had "tmp" directory there - always just "assets" and "manager" folders and all been working fine.
