I tried to install Drupal 5 just an hour ago...

1) First I am able to view the database config screen (during autoinstall)
2) I provided mysql database information and login
3) It goes to the next screen and shows the error below

Warning: session_set_save_handler(): Argument 1 is not a valid callback in /home/te3690/public_html/drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 810

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in /home/te3690/public_html/drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 811

My versions are

Operating system Linux
Apache version 1.3.34 (Unix)
PHP version 4.4.1
MySQL version 4.0.27-standard

Please help!

Installed 5.3 on my test site, and it seemed to be working fine. I can go to admin, etc, check out modules, whatever. But if I try to go to the front page, test.example.com, I get the following:

Warning: session_set_save_handler(): Argument 1 is not a valid callback in /home/example/domains/example.com/public_html/test/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 861

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in /home/example/domains/example.com/public_html/test/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 862

Anybody know what's going on?

Thanks,

Either something I did fixed it, or it fixed itself spontaneously, but when I finally thought to clear the cache in my browser (okay, when someone suggested I clear it...) the problem disappeared.

So for what it's worth, if you have this problem, try clearing the cache in your browser...

I posted twice by mistake, so I edited the second down to this message.
