common.php error on first step

[mortimernova]

i've uploaded the files and the installation file can be found at http://www.mortimernova.com/logd/installer.php, however this is what i get when i start:

Warning: session_register(): open(/var/lib/php4/sess_246eae1136a5d6b8f6b44eaea8c36124, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/mortimernova/public_html/logd/common.php on line 87

at which point i am able to click the license agreement, pass through it and then receive a message that it did not install... any thoughts?

Read the error messages.

The first one is the real error.

It basically says that on your machine the user you are running the apache server as does not have permissions to write files to the default location for PHP sessions.

This is a problem between you and your machine or your hosting provider.

You need to get that fixed before LoGD will work for you.

thanks for the info... i was messing with it this weekend and found that from the root directory of the server, my administrative rites were missing so i had no way to chmod the session attributes... so, it should be fully functional once my hosting provider relinquishes those rites to me...
