[TYPO3] system update - what would you recommend

[H. Hahn]

Dear mr. Dmitry,

I have now set it to "1". But there is nothing new to that. The original 
default setting, "-1", also produced the error messages on the screen. I 
copied the messages into my first e-mail. I did not invent them myself!

The messages as such (especially the first one) seems to be clear 
enough. The PHP function session_start() seemt to try an dwrite to some 
file in a directory where it is not allowed to do so. Or maybe I should 
say: where PHP 5.2.6 disallows it to do so.

As an alternative, I made a little script, test_sess_start.php, 
containing only three lines:

<?php
session_start();
?>

This resulted in exactly the same errors:

*Warning*: session_start() [function.session-start 
<http://www.cheider.nl/cheider2007/fileadmin/scripts/function.session-start>]: 
SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1152609 is not 
allowed to access /var/tmp/ owned by uid 0 in 
*/usr/local/WWW/A/.5c2/p/pels4/htdocs/cheider2007/fileadmin/scripts/test_sess_start.php* 
on line *2*

*Fatal error*: session_start() [<a 
href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to 
initialize storage module: files (path: ) in 
*/usr/local/WWW/A/.5c2/p/pels4/htdocs/cheider2007/fileadmin/scripts/test_sess_start.php* 
on line *2*

So changing the error reporting did not add anything to what I already 
know. It is only useful if extra info can be extracted. I have no idea 
whether or not this is possible. maybe it is, but how?

It actually seems to be a PHP5.2.6 error, or an Apache error, but it is 
such a nasty error that the T3 BE doesn't work with it.

In the meantime, I still cannot acces the backend! But I will have to, 
as I have to work further on the website. (It is already "on the air", 
but only partially.)
