Codeigniter not working in IIS

Question

Ok, I got an codeigniter app. it works fine in localhost, works fine in a php hosting that I got. But my client wants it running in IIS. I've passed the web.config pitfall but now I get the following error:

An uncaught Exception was encountered

Type: Exception

Message: Session: Configured save path 'c:\windows\temp' is not writable by the PHP process.

Filename: E:\home\emconexao.com\site3\system\libraries\Session\drivers\Session_files_driver.php

Line Number: 124

I know it's a PHP configuration trouble, but where ?

In my application/config/autoload.php file if I remove session from libraries it works... until I login the site, then obviously it can't generate session and it crashes...

Can anyone help me?

Solution 1

Here’s a fix that worked for me:

• Open php.ini
• Set: session.save_path = C:\inetpub\temp\sessions
• Create C:\inetpub\temp\sessions and give IUSR and NETWORK SERVICE (or whatever is the identity of app pool) full rights.
• Save php.ini

This was a good reference: http://forums.iis.net/post/1735092.aspx

Solution 2

give config.php

$config['sess_save_path'] = 'writable absolute path';

Note that one location of php.ini might be C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\PHP\v5.3\php.ini and that file might still be used even if C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\PHP\v5.4 exists.
