    Problem with sessions

    Hi all!

    I'm new to PHP...

    I wrote a php script for login page, which creates some session
    variables after validating the user... But it's not working...

    When i compile it... The compiler is giving me the following
    Warnings...

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PHP Warning: session_start() :
    open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_f207f20079 897ad6f830fc632 fa5e0c0,
    O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)

    PHP Warning: session_start() : Cannot send session cookie - headers
    already sent by (output started at /home/gana/public_html/login.php:4)

    PHP Warning: session_start() : Cannot send session cache limiter -
    headers already sent

    PHP Warning: Unknown():
    open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_f207f20079 897ad6f830fc632 fa5e0c0,
    O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)

    PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please
    verify that the current setting of session.save_pa th is correct
    (/var/lib/php/session)

      Hello.
      Make sure that you start the session before any HTML or headers as the error
      states.
      Eg.

      <?php
      session_start;
      ?>
      <html><head> and so on......

      Also if you are including other pages make sure there is only one session
      start all together..

              "Permission denied"

              /var/lib/php/session/...

              That looks like a very likely explanation for why your script doesn't
              work.

                  Set session.save_pa th to something writable like /usr/tmp or /tmp and
                  restart Apache. If PHP is installed as a module, then the directory you
                  select must be writable by user "nobody". Alternatively, you could do
                  "chmod 4777 /var/lib/php/session" and merrily continue PHP-ing.
