Hi everyone, I got a weird error. I didn't change anyone over the last few weeks, and suddenly when I tried to go into my phpmyadmin to backup the database I got the following error

phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

when I go to Phpinfo {}, every seems to output correctly, but when I go to my php.ini my configuration looked a bit weird. Instead of # in front of every line I have : in front of every line. I wonder if my configuration is corrupted? Attached I copied some examples. Any help is appreciated.

Also, I can't seem to back my mysql from the "command Line". can I get a step by step instructions somewhere?

If you're happy making changes in php.ini, the best solution is to
change the value of session.save_path to C:\WINDOWS\Temp. Save php.ini,
and restart Apache.

BTW, I noticed the session.save_path is C:/docume~1

so I got to php configuration and spill the whole path out? like C:/document and setting\owner\Locals\Tem\session

Hi David, thanks for the reply. sorry, I forgot you don't see the edited message.

I did what you said, for some reason it didn't work.

my session path states this in phpin():

session.save_path C:\DOCUME~1\owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\session

so I went into c:document and setting\owner\ I noticed I didn't have a Locals file so I created 4 folders/

LOCALS\php\session\temp folders but it didnt work. weird because it was working a few weeks ago. Thanks.

It means that the folder designated in session.save_path either doesn't
exist, or isn't writable. Check the location of session.save_path with
phpinfo(), and create a folder there.

Thanks David.

Weird, I did what you said, for some reason it didn't work.

my session path states this:
session.save_path C:\DOCUME~1\owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\session C:\DOCUME~1\owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\session

so I went into c:document and setting\owner\ I noticed I didn't have a Locals file so I created

LOCALS\php\session folders but it didnt work. weird because it was working a few weeks ago.
