Warning: session_start()

Post by andrewvideouk »

HI

The site I been working on been working great until today and I am getting this error

Code: Select all


Warning: session_start(): open(/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php72/sess_f505432e8796cbf23bce5c17d3b991b0e, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/website/public_html/lib/misc.functions.php on line 1281

Warning: session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php72) in /home/sheffieldvoices/public_html/lib/misc.functions.php on line 1281
I am not sure. I looked on google and saying abuout PHP has been changed or something,
Can someone help and point the right way.


Thank you,

Does the path /var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php72 exist, and is it writable? If not, define the correct path in your php.ini file or ask your host for help. (quick fix - in cPanel's php.ini editor, change the path from ...php72 to ...php74, or whatever version you're using minus the decimal)

Sometimes you can be using a newer PHP version but your config can be pointing to the sessions folder for an older version - and then the host cleans up that older version, removing said folder in the process.
