[BUG?] Failed to initialize storage module

[ariel106]

Hello, I want to ask something about 4Images. It says :

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in /home/ariel106/public_html/gallery/includes/sessions.php on line 84

I've change the permission of tmp (got FTP access) into 777, but the error messages keep on coming. I want to know is there any more "tmp" out there... Previously, I've installed this and it worked out great, but since I'm migrating to Drupal, since then 4Images spit out this error message.

here's my site (error preview)

======================================================

Well, after some experiments I found out that **maybe** 4Images not compatible with Drupal... I'm using Fantastico; I found out that when 4Images was installed alone, there's no problem. But once Drupal installed, then the error message re-appear (and Drupal working just fine). Maybe this is a bug??  Or there's something wrong with Fantastico installing Drupal or 4Images... I don't know...

FYI, I've tried to apply the security fix hoping that this will fix my problem, yet, the error still occur.

*** sorry about my english ***

yeah, its a bug, but not in 4images, reather in your hoster
contact them.

ah thank you, finally...

no actually, I think there's a bug in 4Images, because it works just fine when Drupal removed. I don't know, right now I'm suspecting 4Images, and Fantastico. Especially Fantastico, anybody tried this? Using Fantastico to install Drupal, then 4Images. (FYI, I've also reverse the installation order, 4Images first, then Drupal, still the problem exists...).

[V@no]

and drupal is....and fantastico is...
are you trying integrate 4images with something? if so and they both uses sessions, then yeah, I think they would not be compatible without addoptation either of them.


P.S. I think u've lost on definition of the termin "bug"

Actually I'm using Drupal as CMS, and 4Images as my gallery. At first, my CMS was XOOPs and then 4Images installed into "gallery" subdirectory and everything was great. Later on, I want migrate to Drupal, and since then the error message begin.

I what you thinkin about "integration" is a custom-hack to make Drupal session works with 4Images, or something then you're wrong. There's no modification thingie, just try install 4Images and Drupal and see if you're getting the same error message

i'm using "BUG?", so I'm not sure if it's bug yet, maybe, perhaps, dunno... I hope the develper(s) can see through this and work something out ... cheeers!!
