mysql crashing server

[web9000]

mysql or squirrelcart is writing session files to /tmp directory which is a set partition, its filling up and crashing the server

how do i make squirrelcart write to a different directory?

think i fixed it

php config file was named php.ini-dist so it wasnt being read, apparently the default directory for session.save_path is /tmp

i renamed php.ini-dist to php.ini and changed the session.save_path to /var/tmp

hopefully that will fix it
