I updated my hosting type with godaddy because my website was running really slow. When I switched it over, I got a new IP address. My website works great now, but my photcart doesn't work. I can't get into the admin side at all - this is what shows up:


Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/home/content/68/5143068/tmp/sess_knn6lu44d3gh3629pfgh6q7b61, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/68/5143068/html/clients/admin/manage.php on line 3

I'm REALLY not good with technical stuff. Godaddy did say this after it was switched over:

Congratulations! You are now able to publish to your updated hosting account.

Please note that it can take up to 24 hours from the time the update was completed for any newly-published content to be visible on your website.

DNS NOTE: Your account has been assigned the new IP address 50.62.39.1. If any of its hosted domains, including the primary domain mkpclients.com are in your hosting shopper account, their A records have been updated. If not, you must manually update their A records to point to the new IP address.

If hosted subdomains have been set up through the Hosting Control Center, their A records have been updated. If hosted subdomains have been set up outside your hosting shopper account, you must manually update their A records to point to the new IP address.

If you need help modifying the A record of a particular domain, contact your domain registrar.

To upload your website to your hosting account you will need the following information:
Your FTP user name (m1078216861m) and password
FTP address or host name: mkpclients.com
Start Directory: Some FTP clients will ask for a "Home" or "Start" directory. Our hosting service does not require this, so simply leave the box blank or enter a single forward slash (i.e., " / ")
FTP Port: You should enter "standard" OR "21."
To upload your website you will need FTP client software or Web Design Software with FTP capabilities. Learn more.


So, I'm guessing I need to change my IP address SOMEWHERE, but I'm not sure where to do that. I use filezilla to get into my FTP stuff, but I'm not really that good with it and don't know if that's even where I would go to change the IP address. Any ideas??

It is a PHP session handling issue on the server. Here is what you can do to create a workaround fix:

FTP connect to your website in your FTP program.

Navigate into your Photo Cart folder.

Create a new folder inside your Photo Cart folder named: sessions (if one does not exist)

Download the setup.php file that is inside your Photo Cart folder to your computer and open it in a text editor like notepad.

Add the following 2 lines of code on a blank line before the closing PHP tag ?>

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 1800);
ini_set('session.save_path', $setup['path']."/sessions");

Save and re-upload into your Photo Cart folder.
