+<h4 class="question"><a name="sessiontmp"></a>I keep getting error messages about session_start</h4>\r
+<p class="answer">If you see errors like this:</p>\r
+<p class="answercode">Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_d40f380d37d431fc1516e9a895ad9ce0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php on line 123</p>\r
+<p class="answercode">Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp\sess_d40f380d37d431fc1516e9a895ad9ce0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php on line 123</p>\r
+<p class="answercode">Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php:1) in G:\web\moodle\lib\setup.php on line 123</p>\r
+\r
+<p class="answer">... these are all related to the fact that PHP is failing to save \r
+ "session" files on your hard disk (in a directory called /tmp). Usually the \r
+ reason is that you don't HAVE a directory called /tmp on your computer. This \r
+ is usually the case with Windows installations.\r
+\r
+<p class="answer">The solution is to fix the PHP setting for this path to point to a real directory. You can do this in your php.ini file:</p>\r
+<p class="answercode">session.save_path = C:\temp</p>\r
+<p class="answer">or otherwise in a .htaccess file in your main moodle directory:</p>\r
+<p class="answercode">php_value session.save_path "/home/moodle/sessions"</p>\r
