“session has already been started…” exception in Zend Framework application

Question

I get this error when trying to load a Zend Framework application:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception \'Zend_Session_Exception\' with message \'sessi

Answer 1

Before this drives you mad, there's probably nothing wrong with your code!

Check your application.ini for the session save path, for me it is APPLICATION_PATH '/session'

Now check you have the correct permissions! If not then cd into the application folder and type

sudo chmod 777 session
sudo chown -R [usernamehere] session
sudo chgrp -R [usernamehere] session

Job Done!
