Error when running PHPMyAdmin (MAMP)
After using MAMP for over a year, I suddenly get the error when trying to run PHPMyAdmin:
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
Have checked php_error.log The last lines are:
[22-Jan-2011 18:44:26] PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/Applications/MAMP/tmp/ph
[22-Jan-2011 18:46:57] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-sta
[22-Jan-2011 18:46:57] PHP Warning: Unknown: open(/Applications/MAMP/tm

[22-Jan-2011 19:00:00] PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
in the Applications/MAMP/tmp/ directory there is no php directory, only eaccelerator and mysql directories.
How can I solve this problem?

Hi Stephen,
Works perfectly (or seems to) when I just create the new php directory. Thanks so much.
Have not created the phpcore directory. Is this necessary?

It is only necessary if php (not your scripts, but php itself) dies unexpectedly. Even then, missing the coredump directory will be the least of MAMPs concerns at that point. I'd recommend you add it if only because it is part of the standard MAMP install, but don't worry about it too much.
