When installing SugarCRM Community Edition 5.5 on XAMPP running in Ubuntu, you sometimes get this error:
The session.save_path setting in your php configuration file (php.ini) is not set or is set to a folder which did not exist. You might need to set the save_path setting in php.ini or verify that the folder sets in save_path exist.
The way to solve this one is to open up your php.ini and find the following line:
; session.save_path =
Delete the ; and change the line to:
session.save_path = "/tmp"
Restart your server (Apache) to reflect the changes. Your installation will now be successful.
