title: Session_start failing because lack of permissions
body: <p>I'm using Windows 7 with an Administrator account. I have Xampp installed at C:\xampp.</p>
  
  <p>I have the same problem that <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/670595/php-session-start-fails">this situation</a>, and I tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Uncheck "read only" boxes to all files and folders</li>
  <li>attrib -r -a C:\xampp\tmp /S /D (without the /D gives file not found)</li>
  <li>Selected "everyone" in security just to make sure. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My xampp and tmp folder are now probably the unsafest folder in my computer, but I still get</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]:
    open(\xampp\tmp\sess_1fcpeje5cqaopevmlclif9ejc0, O_RDWR) failed: No
    such file or directory (2)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Which I think it means that the folder is still not writable.
  My code is just as </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  session_start();
  ....
  &gt;
  </code></pre>
