• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

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?
