Site Session Error?

Permalink
I have just gone onto my site to edit it and it came up with:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_3bfc801f35c4140bbbfd8e1617a94c43, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/mattgrey/public_html/updates/concrete5.4.1.1/concrete/startup/session.php on line 18

...At the top. I think it may have something to do with an update but I dont know what to do!?

Help is much appreciated

Check the user and/or permissions on the /tmp directory with your ftp client or via shell
ls -al /tmp

There is no such file in that directory, im sure its to do with the file: /home/mattgrey/public_html/updates/concrete5.4.1.1/concrete/startup/session.php

Do I need to reinstall concrete or something?

If it helps: this is the contents of the file that it says is wrong on line 18 
<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
// Start the session
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid',0);  
session_set_cookie_params(0, str_replace(' ', '%20', DIR_REL) . '/'); 
/* ini_set('session.save_path', DIR_SESSIONS); */
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', SESSION_MAX_LIFETIME);
//if we've set the _postSID variable, we populate session_id using it
if (isset($_POST['ccm-session'])) {
   session_id($_POST['ccm-session']);
} else if (isset($_REQUEST['sessionIDOverride'])) {
   session_id($_REQUEST['sessionIDOverride']);
}
session_name(SESSION);
session_start();

Not sure about re-installing yet. Interesting the error is "denied" as opposed to "not found", none the less, have you tried clearing the C5 cache from the dashboard?

If the permissions on the /tmp directory got messed up, you could be seeing a denied error because apache is trying to access a directory it does have permission for. Does your /tmp directory look like:
[root@nte ~]# ls -al /tmp
total 48
drwxrwxrwt.  7 root   root    4096 Jun 20 13:40 .
