Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Invalid argument in D:\WebSites\auction\dataface\Dataface\Application.php on line 556

Does anyone now how to fix this?

On my test system it works fine.

OS : Windows XP Pro.

Apache 2.2.6 (Win32)

PHP 5.2.4

This occurs when dataface is trying to make a subdirectory to store its session files. Likely it doesn’t have write permission to the sesson save directory.

You can explicitly set the session save directory to some other directory by addying the following to the beginning of your index.php file:

Code: Select all

session_save_path('/path/to/directory');

I had exactly the same problem, but Steve Hannah’s advice worked perfectly for me.

I added this line to the beginning of my index.php file:

Code: Select all

session_save_path('/intranet/dataface/tmp');

And I created a “tmp” directory in my dataface directory.

BTW, my environment is also Windows, but in my case it’s Server 2003, and I’m running IIS with PHP 5.2.0. -Steve
