I'm trying to run a session_test.php file and I get the following error.

Warning: session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_3793c77844bb93135dc8294f08e901b2, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /vservers/website/htdocs/session_test.php on line 4

Website I changed because of the NOOB effect.. I'm using a linux basic package. Does anyone know if the /var/lib/php/session is a folder that I can see? I created it and ran the same test with the same results. Before I created it, I wasn't able to see this folder.

Do you think that it's a php.ini issue, or a rewrite issue?


Any help would be appreciated.

contact support with your domain. it's a quick php.ini change.

I have access to the php.ini file, but just do not know what lines to change.

You'll want to open the php.ini and look for

session.save_path = /var/lib/php/session

Just change that path to something in the home directory for the site and chmod it to 777. (generally keep it outside of the htdocs though, so something like /vservers/website/tmp)
