I am using windows xp sp2 and xampp version 1.8.0. the apache and mysql services are running but i cant access the localhost/phpmyadmin am getting this error:
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
how can this problem be fixed?
This can be due to either a client-sided issue with cookies, or a server-sided issue relating to permissions of the temporary directory where session files are stored.
Client sided solution
This error can simply be an issue with cookies in your web browser, so either delete all stored cookies or selectively delete them for just the domain/directory where phpMyAdmin is if your browser allows this.
For example, in the current version of Google Chrome at the time of writing this post, you can go into the preferences then select Under the Hood -> Content Settings -> All Cookies and Site Data and then type the domain into the “Search cookies” input box. Then hover over the domain in question and click the X delete button. (Alternatively you could do this via the developer tools).
