Xferring to new server - error

Permalink
I'm getting these errors, despite all settings looking correct (I did an export/import + xferred hard files).

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_37f4c879acd7e7d2f7747d57a00ad80b, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/whyw1/public_html/concrete/startup/session.php on line 18

PHP Config Issue
Your php install is getting a permission denied error when trying to write it's session data to file.

It looks like the session.save_path specifies /tmp and that's not writeable

http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session....

Depending on your hosting setup, I'd just shoot them an email and tell them that php's session save path is giving you permission errors, or if you have access to your php.ini config file, change that to a location that's writable by whatever user the webserver is running as.

Cheers Ryan, I've asked my server tech to look into it following your advice.

Will see how we get on !
