missing write permission on session save path (php.ini session.save_path)?

[pascal]

I got this error on my website:

G\: Sessions are not working on this server due to missing write permission on session save path (php.ini session.save_path).

Any quick idea?

Hummm...I'm now thinking that my host provider might have uploaded some stuff and it got screw up.

I'm not able to access phpMyAdmin either:
phpMyAdmin - Error
Error during session start; please check your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. Also ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser.
session_start(): open(SESSION_FILE, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)

Is it possible that a settings come to a default value somewhere?

Most likely sessions are not working on that server due to missing write permission on session save path (php.ini session.save_path).

 

[pascal]

Ok...and what should be the session.save_path path?

 

[pascal]

ok, the session.save_path is set to /tmp and folder permission is 755...

I'm sorry but this is clearly a server issue. I've already told you the problem you should forward that to your server admin. Maybe you need to restart services?

In any case, please note that this is outside the scope of support.

Ok Thank, I will check with Host provider.

The fact that phpmyadmin also fails tells you that is something on the server not the script. You can inject a different folder for session save path as is described here: https://chevereto.com/docs/server-issues (Settings hacks)

Beware with that, make sure that the path isn't public at all.
