I installed the program on another free linux host server. However, I can install it on my paid one. I ran the session test and here are the results (website name changed) ..

Warning: session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_9f0e86c39b648e173297b301fb079834, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /vservers/website/htdocs/session_test.php on line 4

When I run session_test2.php it says:

$_SESSION['test'] is set to: FALSE



I''m hosted by a redhat Linux server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well the problem is what the PHP warning says:

Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/php/session).

Also make sure the session folder is world-writable (chmod it to 777).

If you're not sure what this all means ask your host to check this for you.

Is the /var/lib/php/session a folder that I can see? If so, I don't see it so I created it and CHMOD 777 it. However, I still get the same error message. Any help would be appreciated.

BTW: Great program!

I searched all of the net and couldn't find a solution. I then copied and pasted the error message and sent it to my webhost. They changed the permsission to the folder and now it works perfect.

Thanks!
