67 Known issues
68 ============
69 Drupal requirements (http://drupal.org/requirements) tell you to configure
70 PHP with "session.save_handler = user", but your Piwik installation may
71 not work with this configuration and gives you a server error 500.
72
73 1. You are able to workaround with the PHP default in your php.ini:
74
75 [Session]
76 session.save_handler = files
77
78 2. With Apache you may overwrite the PHP setting for the Piwik directory only.
79 If Piwik is installed in /piwik you are able to create a .htaccess file in
80 this directory with the below code:
81
82 # PHP 4, Apache 1.
83 <IfModule mod_php4.c>
84 php_value session.save_handler files
85 </IfModule>
86
87 # PHP 4, Apache 2.
88 <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
89 php_value session.save_handler files
90 </IfModule>
91
92 # PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.
93 <IfModule mod_php5.c>
94 php_value session.save_handler files
95 </IfModule>
