Lost Admin Panel

[auntie22]

Hello Everyone,

I was working in the admin/configuration/sessions my cat jumped on the table and manage to change my sessions directory from /tmp to just tmp now I can not log into my admin panel to change it back to /tmp.

When I try to log into my admin I get this:

Warning: session_start(): open(tmp/sess_f01db7a6fcefa3396bf7739b08958b90, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/xxxx/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

You can do 2 things :

1. Create the tmp directory (it would be in the admin dir) and chmod it to 777. That will allow the sessions to be written to the disk.

2. Edit your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php and change the sessions to be set to 'mysql' This will bypass the filesystem and save all sessions to the database.
