Answer 1

In my case using php-fpm under CentOS 7, it was the reason @Issac pointed out, and just solved with:

mkdir -p /var/lib/php/session
chown -R apache:apache /var/lib/php

Then solved.

Just create the session folder, I think this direct solution can work on this specific case.

WARNING: Before you do this, be sure to check if the /var/lib/php folder exists, and check which user is in use for the php-fpm process. If you are using nobody for the php-fpm process, set 777 permission for the /var/lib/php/session can work well.
