How do I change the session.save_path for Joomla?

session.save_path is a directory on the server where temp files are created for storing sessions.

There are two ways to configure the session.save_path:

Method #1
1. Using a text editor (eg. Notepad) or Netfirms File Manager, create a folder inside your Joomla folder called sessions.
2. Edit configuration.php by adding the following as the last line in the file (where /mnt/w1234/d12/s12/b12ba123/ is the home directory for your web account as identified in your Netfirms Control Panel)

session_save_path('/mnt/w1234/d12/s12/b12ba123/ path/to/joomla/sessions');

IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no extra blank lines at the end of the file.

Method #2

1. Using a text eitor (eg. Notepad) or Netfirms File Manager insert the following to a custom php.ini file (where /mnt/w1234/d12/s12/b12ba123/ is the home directory for your web account as identified in your Netfirms Control Panel):

session.save_path=/mnt/w1234/d12/s12/b12ba123/path/to/joomla/sessions

IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no extra blank lines at the end of the file.
