I just faced a problem with Joomla 2.5 install when the web install get stuck after the 1st step (language selection). After I searched the internet I found a lot of forums describing the same problem. I read a lot of strange ideas about fixing this with different apache and php.ini config changes but none of them helped. In the error log I found the followings:
|

PHP message: PHP Warning: session_start(): open(tcp://localhost:11211/sess_53aueertfis1tu5p7h1mdp87e5, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /var/www/hosting/XXXXXX.XXX/web/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 532 |
It seems the somehow a tcp connection was tried to be opened like a file which can be caused by session.save_handler = files. And this is exactly what I found in libraries/joomla/session/session.php

# diff libraries/joomla/session/session.php libraries/joomla/session/session.php.orig 100c100 < // ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files'); --- > ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files'); |
This change fixed the problem.
