CodeIgniter session permission

Question

I developed a codeigniter application that sometimes throw an exception in session_start.

The returned code is:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: session_start(): ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/tmp) failed: Permission denied (13)

Filename: core/MY_Controller.php

Line Number: 2

In this line, I have just "session_start"

But this problem occurs occasionally.

Should I change the temp folder to another one inside CI folder?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you use plesk just try:

$config['sess_save_path'] = sys_get_temp_dir();

Answer 2

You need to set session path in configuration settings

• In application/config/config.php set

  $config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH . 'application/cache/sessions/';

It works for me.
