Cannot access Dashboard

Permalink
I've recently migrated my a site to a different computer. When I try to access the Dashboard I get the following error message:

Warning: session_start(): open(/var/folders/1c/dk1dz6dx17g2938py_2dxxk40000gp/T//sess_mevnepm67acpk7f8amf944p741, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/BodyInMotion/concrete/startup/session.php on line 36

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! I've attached a screenshot.

Thank you!

Hi, it looks like you don't have write permissions to a folder on your server, in this case the /var folder. You can investigate that one futher, or there is a workaround by entering BEFORE the call to session_start() put in a call to session_save_path() and give it the name of a directory writable by the server.

Here's some more detail on this:http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php...

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your response. I will definitely explore further, but in the meantime the issue was fixed by changing one of the Xampp files.

Thanks again!
