session.save_handler = user in php.ini

session.save_handler = user in php.ini

I was installing Drupal which asked me to set
     session.save_handler =  user

After cahinging my php setting, I connected to my Moodle and only got an empty blank window. When I changed the php setting back to 
     session.save_handler = files

My Moodle system came back. What can I do if I want to install Drupal? Can anyone help? I have no idea of PHP. I just follow the instruction.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for this!
I was sure I had been hacked, because my moodle had disappeared and I had not heard of a blank screen before.
I am sorry I do not know what do do about Drupal. I asked on the Drupal forums but the problem with Drupal is that the forums do not have subscriptions, so I do not know if anyone has answered my post. Check for posts by timtak.

I found this about Drupal:

"SERVER CONFIGURATION
--------------------

Your PHP must have the following settings:

session.save_handler user

In addition, we recommend the following settings:

session.cache_limiter none

These values are set in php.ini and can be overwritten in a .htaccess
file; you can print out your local PHP settings with PHP's phpinfo()
function."

If you can write .htaccess then your problem should hopefully be solved.

Cheers
