Premission denied to start session - PHP [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

How can I fix the Permission error when I call session_start()? (16 answers)

Closed 8 years ago.

I have the following error:

Warning: session_start(): open(---temp\sess_u800qhordqngjf1c9mlspmb1c6, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in ---login.php on line 2
Warning: Unknown: open(---temp\sess_u800qhordqngjf1c9mlspmb1c6, 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 (---\temp) in Unknown on line 0

instead the path displayed I wrote ---.

This error wasn't displayed until now (I'm on localhost). I tried to find the solution on the web, but I can't figure what exactly should I do...

How can I fix it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In your php.ini file it is specifying the session.save_path to be ---\temp.

That means one of the following is your problem:

1) That path does not exist
2) That path is not writable

As a solution, you have three options:

1) Make the path exist
2) Make the path writable
3) Change it to another path
