Hey Everybody,
As I was trying to move an exsisting site form my local dev (xampp) to a production server, the following error appeared:
Error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /usr/local/www/services/.../data/tmp) (line 103 of /home/.../html/wire/core/Session.php)
This error message was shown because /install.php still exists. Error has been logged.
I searched the forum for help, but the only related topic I could find is this one:
Problems with ProcessWire on Cloud Hosting
https://processwire.com/talk/topic/5089-problems-with-processwire-on-cloud-hosting/
The thread says, that it might have something to do with some isses in the master branch of pw. So I downloaded the dev branch (2.4), and made a fresh install. There are no problems with the requirements, nor with mod_rewrite. In the last installation step, after the admin user creation the error message from above appears again.
Is it usual, that pw creates a tmp/data diretory?
I changed the file permissions for the assets and changed the htaccess, but still there is no change.
Thanks for any hints on that. And thnaks for that lovely CMS
