Thanks a lot for all the info provided here.

I still cannot manage to solve the problem though (trying to use Expose 4)

so far:
- I can’t access PHP.INI cuz its a web server
- I can’t change .htaccess without creating a 500 error
- I dont understand ur “adding php.ini” to every subfolder so I skipped it…
- I can’t find a globals.php within my Joomla! (1.5) folder.

Please help!

It is indeed cleaner to have the session directory being green in Joomla instead of red (unwritable).

The strange thing is that my site still works fine without the session directory being writable.
