I installed SMF in a new directory then ran the converter...but ran into an issue:

I was told "the cause of this problem is that your host has session.save_path to a non writable directory... and that the path /phpsessions must exist and be writable".

... I DO have /phpsessions there - and it's writable to "User" (only).

So: 

1. Should I make it also writable to "Group" and "Other"?
or
2. Do I need to put /phpsessions UNDER public_html? (and if so, what is the correct permissions setting?)

Attached is a snapshot of my directory.  There you'll see /phpsessions, which is writable to "User" only.

Thank you if you've made it this far in my ramblings Smile

Resolved:  I added Write permissions to GROUP and all is good now Smile

And to confirm for others who have the same problem: the phpsessions directory should NOT be UNDER public_html.
