PHP session_start fails

Question

I\'m trying to start the session in a header page in my webiste. But it seems there might be some sort of bug because it fails with the following error:

Warn         


        

Answer 1

This means that you don't have the correct permissions to either read or write the files in the temp directory.

If you on linux then do this

sudo chmod -R 755 \xampp\tmp //or should it be 775

On windows do this as an administrator

attrib -r -a C:\xampp\tmp /S
