New Pleskian
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!
 
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?
