Hi All,
Any help with this would be much appreciated. I have installed Limesurvey OK and the database is working well. However, when the install is complete I get PHP fatal errors. This happens after the point where you rename/move the admin/install folder and attempt to run admin/admin.php.

I have set the debug mode to 2 to display the following error:

Fatal error: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: ) in ~~~~~~~~~\limesurvey\admin\sessioncontrol.php on line 36

Has anyone any ideas? I have checked my PHP setup and all of the required libraries and add ons are available.

Running IIS 6.0 (requirement of the company)
PHP 5.2
MSSQL

Many thanks

Pklease check if the "session.save_path" set in php.ini is correct. The folder listed there has to exist and has to be writeable.

Maybe searching the installation FAQ for "session" will reveal further information: docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...tions+for+LimeSurvey
