Fix phpMyAdmin session_start() Permission denied
Error is generated by the lack of writing perisks in the director block in /var/lib/php/session. There may be two inconveniences:
1. chmod Without Writing Permissions in /var/lib/php/session
2. The directors in /var/lib/php/session belong to another owner:group, than the one who serves the PHP / web processes.
De exemplu, daca ai un server web cu NGINX, iar scripturile phpMyAdmin sunt rulate sub user-ul “nginx“, este posibil ca un urma unui update de PHP, directoarele de sesiune sa fie trecute sub user: apache. For this reason, there will be no writing permissions of PHP sessions.
To solve this phpmyadmin error, follow the steps below:
1. assuming that phpMyAdmin este rulat de user “nginx“, executa comanda:
ls -all /var/lib/php/This command will list the directories in PHP, together with the information about Owner and Group.
2. Seteaza depturi de scriere pentru user “nginx” in /var/lib/php/.
chown -R root:nginx /var/lib/php/
After this step, Refresh on the PHPmyadmin authentication page. Enter the user's database user to connect and password. Everything should work without problems. Leave the comment below if you need help.
