I am trying to install and I keep getting the message
The following directories have not been found:
…/tmp/sessions/.
It is probable that this is due to inappropriate lower or upper case letters in the directory names. Please check that the case of the letters in the names of these directories match what is displayed above. If they don’t, rename the directories using your FTP client in order to correct the error.
I have checked and created and deleted and recreated this folder but noting seems to work and I can not find in the code where it is checking or coming from
curiously I never had to create this directory manually. Maybe it's
simply a problem of misconfigured rights for the directory 'tmp'.
Are you using spip_loader.php, or the content of the zip file of
spip1.9.2c ? which OS are you working on (windows / linux / Mac OS,
..) ? This could help us to find a solution to this problem.

You have the same problem as I have.
Some servers !? dont allow write in these directories.
make the folders you self, schmod them to 777 and it works.
But ( if you have the same problem as I have ) you will have to delete both /sessions and /cache folders in the /tmp folder manually ( or in the spip backend, clear cache )
Dont know why some servers give spip that problem ( Im on surftown.xxx ) And they tend to give problems, at least in .dk

Yes of course. With a ssh access I do :
chmod -R 777 tmp IMG local
(The option -R does it recursively so you don't have to empty tmp/ )
or even better :
chown -R apache tmp IMG local
(it's better because you don't have to give write access to anybody)
(of course 'apache' is the user under wich the PHP process is executed
- Generally it's the Apache process user, but you can easily find it :
it's the owner of config/connect.php and any file created by PHP)
With a classic ftp client the access rights can be specified in the
options of the files / directories (generally you just have to check
"write" for everybody)
(if you don't have the 'recursive' option, you must delete everything
under /tmp except tmp/session that isn't automatically re-created by
Spip)
But ( if you have the same problem as I have ) you will have to delete both
/sessions and /cache folders in the /tmp folder manually ( or in the spip
backend, clear cache )
This occurs when you don't have used the -R option : Spip (ie the PHP
process ) can't clear this files / dirs
In fact, maybe the problem of Steven is here : He may have created
/tmp/session without giving write access to other. So PHP can't read
inside tmp/session, and triggers the error. I recognize that the error
message is quite disturbing but it's may be that..
