nascent

I've recently moved a site I was developing locally to it's new remote home and now find that I cannot install any new components.
I had no problem doing this locally.
All folders on the remote site are currently chmodded to 777 to see if that was the issue, but still no go.

The only difference that I can find between the site in its local and remote locations is that in the remote location I am still unable to set the session.save_path to writeable.

I have searched everywhere for the correct syntax for my .htaccess file and have found versions with single quotes, double quotes and no quotes at all. I have tried them all to no avail and still get an Internal Server Error. At least I know it is reading the file!
Currently there is nothing else in my .htaccess file except the line

php_value session.save_path '/home/some path/temp'

The temp folder exists in that location and is also chmod 777.

Question 1: Am I on the right track in thinking my component upload problem likely to be anything to do with the session issue?

Question 2: If not, can anyone help with where to look?

Question 3: Is my .htaccess file correct?

Cheers,

Have you tried installing a component/module from a directory and are you able to upload anything to the Media Manager? If not, check your php.ini to see that uploads are enabled (ask your host to check if you don't have access).

Hope that helps,
