1. Install wordpress as a new install
2. do a data only export from your old database (check structure off)
3. insert the data into the new db
4. install your theme

This means that PHP is not enabled on the server where you are trying to install WP (or it’s down)

who is your web host?

Christine,

The reason for this error is that the default path to the session (tmp) folder is wrong or the folder does not exist.(or it’s not accessible by the user)

You can break it down by looking at the error…

WP is looking for a folder inside
‘/var/chroot/home/content/11/1111111/tmp/’
But your ROOT folder is actually
‘/home/content/11/111111/html’

adding a folder called ‘tmp’ to your root account would probably solve this issue however, you cannot go beyond the html folder. In this case, html is your root folder so, you need to create your own tmp or session folder and redirect the server to it.

Again this is a fix to a specific issue when you switch from windows to linux on Godaddy.

If you need help with your multisite setup send me a link to one that has the error and I can probably point out where the issue is.

Did you clear the cache in firefox?

I see. You’re trying to access the plugin test file directly. The test gives an error because it doesn’t use wp-config.php

The code I posted is a fix for the wordpress installation so any other php file which requires sessions would give out the same error.

If you activate the plugin and use it within wordpress, it will work.

To get rid of the error just add the same session_save_path code to the index.php in the captcha test.

Looking into the form script, you’ll also need to add the same session_save_path() to secureimage.php

Captcha uses sessions and the file tries to create a session on the path specified by the server.

Ideally, you shouldn’t have to specify the save path but in your case (and the case of many) they don’t seem to change when you switch OS.

What’s your url?

I forgot to mention that the code should got on line 2 right below

<?php
session_save_path('/home/content/04/8260904/html/sessions');

It is a Godaddy issue but they won’t help ?? -> This is usually the case with Godaddy.

Here’s a quick fix..

Create a new folder on your root directory and call it sessions
Change its permissions to 777 (Check all the options from GD’s control panel viewable – writable – executable )

At this point you should have a folder like yourdomain.com/sessions

open wp-config.php with your text/code editor and put

session_save_path(‘/home/content/04/8260904/html/sessions’);

for anyone else with the same problem just replace “04/8260904” with your GoDaddy user folders.

For enhanced security put the folder inside your host’s root out of public view. (I’m not sure if the “web viewable” box in GoDaddy will help with this)

You may want to change the name sessions to something unique too.

Cheers
