Resolved Session problem in PHP: session_start() failed: Permission denied (13) Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/lib/php/session)

[dagclaessens]

Hello,

On a fresh installed server, I have a problem with PHP. I can't start the session, it gives me this error:

Warning: session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session/{sessionid{, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in {phpfile} on line 5
Warning: session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/lib/php/session) in {phpfile} on line 5

Server: CentOS 8 with Plesk Obsidian 18.0.30
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
Thank you!

Same here. Were you able to get resolved?

Check that you have correct permissions there and SELinux is disabled:

# stat /var/lib/php/session
File: '/var/lib/php/session'
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 1bh/27d Inode: 55592081 Links: 2
Access: (1733/drwx-wx-wt) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

[root@ppu18-0 ~]# getenforce
Disabled

SELinux is enabled.

[root@secure7 ~]# getenforce
Enforcing

Does SELinux have to be disabled for plesk to run? Is this mentioned in the install instructions?

Here is good example Unable to login into Horde on Plesk server: Horde reloads the login page when entering the correct password
