Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_die manually..after magento installed

Hi guys,

After magento is installed, you may have the error "Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_dir manually" when clicking on some pages.

Usually it happened in shared web hosting, and on individual server it happened when the permission of tmp folder set wrong.

Firstly, copy "/lib/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php" to "/app/code/local/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php", then in line 91:
'cache_dir' =>  null,

change to


'cache_dir' => "var/tmp/",



You can also change the cache folder wherever you want, and that directory you should create yourself and change the permission to 755.



and you done :)

Cheers,

    Hi, I can't locate this directory: "/app/code/local/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php"

    In local there are no further directory levels?

    It is in "/lib/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php" not on app/code...

    Please read it again; you have to copy that file into app/code..
    because it's not good practice to make change into core file; so

    No I realise that.

    I meant that I cannot copy the file to /app/code/local/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php
    as no further directories exist within local?

    Pete,

    You've got to create the "further directories".

    The path Zend/Cache/Backend is not going to exist unless you've previously created it.

    Try: mkdir -p app/code/local/Zend/Cache/Backend if you're on Linux.

 Hi Buddy's,   yeah, navigation menu of CMS pages.. As we aware Magento can provide us options to  make the CMS pages,.also we can display it on front end. . but things is those who are non IT people want to do such task then??   I have solution for it.. with Navigation menu of CMS pages.. Main point is, you don’t need of any developer / programmer this functionality, and you can manage it by your own.  By just single time installation or on one click.   Backend configuration:  Go on Menu: CMS >> Pages     Add new CMS page over there, In general tab there is options to select the status of “Show in Horizontal Menu”. If you “enabled” it then it would be show on frontend, at anytime you can make it “enabled” or “disabled” as per your need.           Here there is options to display on menu or not..     Frontend view.             Currently, I enabled the “about us” and “customer service”, so it display here.     However here I display in Horizontal, of course it p...

Magento Admin login problem





















 I had a new installation of magento. But I was unable to login as an  administrator. I went to the admin login page, entered correct username  and password but was redirected to the same login page.  Error message is displayed when I enter wrong  username or password. But nothing is displayed and I am redirected to  the same login page when I insert correct username and password.   luckily i found solutions:   The solution is  to modify the core Magento code.  Open app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php .  Comment out the lines 80 to 83.  The line number may vary according to  the Magento version. But these lines are present somewhere near line 80.  You have to comment the comma (,) in line:   $this->getCookie()->getPath()//,     // set session cookie params    session_set_cookie_params(    $this->getCookie()->getLifetime(),    $this->getCookie()->getPath()//,    //$this->getCookie()->getDomain(),    //$this->getCookie()->isSecure(),   ...
