I’m installing Joomla on Plesk for my new ipod.mu site and in the pre-installation script had the session save path as unwriteable. If anyone else gets this and needs to fix:
ssh onto the domain and do the following:
cd httpdocs
mkdir sessions
chmod sessions a+w
cd ../conf
vi vhost.conf
In the vhost.conf file hit ‘i’ to enter insert mode then type:
php_admin_value session.save_path “/var/www/vhosts/<your domain>/httpdocs/sessions”
Then hit wq! <return> to save and quit. Now reload your vhost.conf with:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v
This should hopefully fix it!
