you have to change your session save path setting to the accessible dir   tmp  for example  How to change  http   php net session save path  Being on the shared host  it is advised to set your session save path inside of your home directory but below document root  also note that    using ob start is unnecessary here   and I am sure you put   operator by accident and already going to remove it forever  don t you

If you use a configured vhost and find the same error then you can override the default setting of php value session save path under your  lt VirtualHost   80 gt       Apache specific PHP configuration options   those can be override in each configured vhost   php value session save handler  files  php value session save path      var lib php 5 6 session  php value soap wsdl cache dir    var lib php 5 6 wsdlcache    Change the path to your own    tmp  with chmod 777

You can fix the issue with the following steps   Verify the folder exists with sudo cd  var lib php session  If it does not exist then sudo mkdir  var lib php session or double check the logs to make sure you have the correct path  Give the folder full read and write permissions with sudo chmod 666  var lib php session   Rerun you script and it should be working fine  however  it s not recommended to leave the folder with full permissions  For security  files and folders should only have the minimum permissions required  The following steps will fix that   You should already be in the session folder so just run sudo ls -l to find out the owner of the session file  Set the correct owner of the session folder with sudo chown user  var lib php session  Give just the owner full read and write permissions with sudo chmod 600  var lib php session   NB You might not need to use the sudo command

When using latest WHM  v66 0 23  you may go to MultiPHP INI Editor choose PHP version and set session save path to default i e   var cpanel php sessions ea-php70 instead of previous simple tmp - this helped me to get rid of such errors

I m using php-5 4 45 and I got the same problem   If you are a php-fpm user  try edit php-fpm conf and change listen owner and listen group to the right one  My nginx user is apache  so here I change these to params to apache  then it works well for me   For apache user  I guess you should edit your fast-cgi params refer the two params I mention above

I got these two error messages  along with two others  and fiddled around for a while before discovering that all I needed to do was restart XAMPP  I hope this helps save someone else from the same wasted time   Warning  session start    open  var folders zw hdfw48qd25xcch5sz9dd3w600000gn T sess f8bgs41qn3fk6d95s0pfps60n4  O RDWR  failed  Permission denied  13  in  Applications XAMPP xamppfiles htdocs foo bar php on line 3  Warning  session start    Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent  output started at  Applications XAMPP xamppfiles htdocs foo bar php 3  in  Applications XAMPP xamppfiles htdocs foo bar php on line 3  Warning  Unknown  open  var lib php session sess isu2r2bqudeosqvpoo8a67oj02  O RDWR  failed  Permission denied  13  in Unknown on line 0  Warning  Unknown  Failed to write session data  files   Please verify that the current setting of session save path is correct   var lib php session  in Unknown on line 0

I had the same error everything was correct like the setting the folder permissions   It looks like an bug in php in my case because when i delete my PHPSESSID cookie it was working again so aperently something was messed up and the session got removed but the cookie was still active so php had to define the cause differently and checking first if the session file is still they and give another error and not the permission error

Look at your message  So first thing it relate to permission      open  var lib php session sess isu2r2bqudeosqvpoo8a67oj02  O RDWR  failed  Permission denied  13  in Unknown on line 0   you have to check file permission  change mode this  var lib php session    Second thing it relate to session save path     Warning  Unknown  Failed to write session data  files   Please verify that the current setting of session save path is correct   var lib php session  in Unknown on line 0   in php ini   Session    Handler used to store retrieve data  session save handler   files    Argument passed to save handler  In the case of files  this is the path   where data files are stored  Note  Windows users have to change this   variable in order to use PHP s session functions       As of PHP 4 0 1  you can define the path as           session save path    N  path       where N is an integer  Instead of storing all the session files in    path  what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep  and   store the session data in those directories  This is useful if you   or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory  and is   a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions       NOTE 1  PHP will not create this directory structure automatically            You can use the script in the ext session dir for that purpose    NOTE 2  See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to           use subdirectories for session storage   session save path    tmp      lt   HERE YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE    Whether to use cookies  session use cookies   1

This was a known bug in version s  of PHP   Depending on your server environment  you can try setting the sessions folder to 777    var lib php session  your location may vary   I ended up using this workaround   session save path   path not accessable to world sessions    ini set  session gc probability   1     You will have to create this folder and make it writeable  I havent messed around with the permissions much  but 777 worked for me  obviously     Make sure the place where you are storing your sessions isn t accessible to the world   This solution may not work for everyone  but I hope it helps some people
