I was installing MS SQL Server when I get with that message, unfortunately the MS site(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300956) was no help so after two hours of searching finally found that the problem was on one forum so I followed this steps:

1) first of all compile the following code using Visual Studio and run it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Globalization;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string str2 = string.Format(“{0,3}”, CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture.Parent.LCID.ToString(“X”)).Replace(” “, “0”);
Console.Write(str2);
Console.Read();
}
}
}

This will give you a value… it was 00A on my computer

Function ereg() is deprecated in html2fpdf.php

Since on PHP the function ereg is deprecated we should use:

preg_match()

But here is a catch!!!! since the POSIX regular expressions are different from the PCRE used in preg_match(), you need to replace:

ereg(‘^([^=]*)=[“\’]?([^”\’]*)[“\’]?$’,$v,$a3)

with:

preg_match(‘/^([^=]*)=[“\’]?([^”\’]*)[“\’]?$/’, $v, $a3)

Note that the / works as delimiter.

That’s all

session_start(): ps_files_cleanup_dir

This happens when PHP does not have permission to write on the session directory, to correct this go to your /var/www directory and change the owner of the files to root like:

/var/www$ chown root.root myProjectDir -R

Where “myProjectDir” is the directory of the system that you are creating.
