Hi APseudoUtopia, In addition to the other solutions offered, you can also create a simple script like this and place it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/make_php_session_dir: - ---------- cut ---------- cut ---------- cut ---------- cut ---------- # PROVIDE: make_php_session_dir # REQUIRE: mountcritlocal # Create the PHP session file directory mkdir -p /tmp/php_sessions - ---------- cut ---------- cut ---------- cut ---------- cut ---------- By using the "REQUIRE: mountcritlocal" tag, the rcorder system invokes this script before the Apache startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. I tested this on 7.0 with a standard Apache 2.2 installation from the ports tree. I hope this helps, and please post any follow-up questions you have.
