session_start() [function.session-start]: open(, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied

[hostvision]

Hello,

I have 2 new server running with cpanel. One is PHP5.1.6 and one PHP4.4.4. An I get the same errors on both:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_18729d25863689e6676fe25b6942ae56, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/pnl/public_html/index.php on line 2

...
...

What I find out is that once you start an session with one user (one website) and browse other website on the same server you get this error. The session php try to write is the same used for previous user and is own by previous user. Once you close the browser window and the session is destroyed the error is gone till browse other website on the same server.

Thanks.

Hi,

what is the value of session.save_path in php.ini and set the correct permission in it.

This setting controls the location of server-side session cookies when your script uses PHP's session management functions


Thanks,

Hi,

I think is some kind of protection in apache. When I recive the error I used /~user/. I tried with domain name and everything is ok. Apache version is 1.3.37 on both servers.
I'll monitor this issue for a while...

Hi,

For the moment I solved the problem. I think is from Imap Module (Version 2004g) or Openssl Support (less probable). I only got a good PHP without these modules.
If someone find anything else please post it.
