Answer 1

We are setting up 'C:\Windows\Temp' windows directory path to database ci_session table.

change the following in your config file.

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path'] = NULL;
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

to

$config['sess_driver']= 'database';
$config['sess_cookie_name']= 'mycookie';
$config['sess_expiration']= 0;
$config['sess_save_path']= 'ci_session';
$config['sess_match_ip']= FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update']= 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy']= FALSE;
$config['sess_use_database']= TRUE;
$config['sess_expire_on_close']= TRUE;
$config['sess_table_name']= 'ci_session';

Answer 2

Edit config.php

Location: application/config/config.php

Before

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path'] = NULL;
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

After

$sessDir = session_save_path();
$sessDir = "{$sessDir}/sessionPath";
is_dir($sessDir)?:mkdir($sessDir);

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path'] = $sessDir;
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

It's work for me

Answer 3

In your application's config.php file search for $config['sess_save_path'] change its default value of sys_get_temp_dir() to another publicly accessible directory preferably not in the C: drive.

or you can set it globally in your php.ini file and call ini_get ('session.save_path'), but first make sure you have changed the default value of that option to a temp directory of your choice.
