PHP 4.3.10 and session.save_path vs open_basedir

[BoXie]

Hi,

On Fedora Core 2 with PHP 4.3.10 the session.save_path in /etc/php.ini is set too /var/lib/php/session by default.

But once you install things like Mambo , installers complain they can't write to the session dir. This is because the open.basedir restricts PHP (writing) to the users homedir and /tmp.

Is it safe and best practise to modify /etc/php.ini so that session.save_path is set too /tmp ?

Hmm . those threads haven't got much to do with this one.

My question: is it safe to change the session.safe_path to /tmp (any complications with that ?).

And if so ... why can't it be found in Plesk documentation to do so .. since Plesk uses open_basedir's. It should be a common issue.
