I am trying to update to the newest version of Gallery and am unable to get past Step 1 of the updater. At the bottom of the screen I see the following:

Warning: Unknown: open(C:\DOCUME~1\EUGENE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\session\sess_3b391163a3cc50fff2484726ee031c58, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:\DOCUME~1\EUGENE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\php\session) in Unknown on line 0

Any help would be appreciated.

It's try clearing your %temp% directory. Windoze can sometimes have issues if to much stuff gets in there.

Same errors after I ran ATF-Cleaner. Any other thoughts?

Well you can and I would specify a different directory for session_save_path for php. I'd probably put it in c:\temp or c:\windows\temp or some other directory that exists and is writable by everyone. Double check the permissions on it.

You can do that by editing php.ini. You may have to restart Apache after that.

*Solved* After Changing the session_save_path and checking permissions, I found that the php\session folders didn't exist. Once created, I was able to upgrade Gallery to 2.3

Thank you for the ideas.
