Session permission denied Laravel Forge and OAuth

I can start by saying that I am not great on this server config stuff. I have had the social logins working with sessions and all that before, but then I edited the config file because I wanted to gzip the content that was sent to the browser. Now I am getting this.

ErrorException (E_UNKNOWN) open(/var/lib/php5/sess_2fde40503711502d2a6fe148dfcee783, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)

Open: /home/forge/default/vendor/lusitanian/oauth/src/OAuth/Common/Storage/Session.php

public function __construct(
    $startSession = true,
    $sessionVariableName = 'lusitanian_oauth_token',
    $stateVariableName = 'lusitanian_oauth_state'
) {
    if ($startSession && !isset($_SESSION)) {
        session_start();
    }

session_start(); has red background in the error. I am not sure what the reason is for this error? Have anybody else got the same thing? It started happening after I added gzip to the config, but even if I remove it it won't go back to working for some reason.

Worth to note is that the usual email + password login works fine even that they are using sessions. But not this OAuth stuff.

Using Laravel 4.2.

PHP doesn't have permission to write on the sessions folder. Given the ErrorException, I'm assuming your sessions were setup to use the folder "/var/lib/php5". So, you can do that:

sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/php5/

Or you can open the php.ini file and edit the following line:

session.save_path = "/path/to/your/folder"

Otherwise, you can use:

ini_set(session.save_path, '/path/to/your/folder')
