PHP Warning: session_start No such file or directory...

911Alert · October 29, 2011

I am getting the following error mesages when I view the index page at http://www.voltageking.com/exams/. I have no idea why this would be ocurring. I did not write the PHP code. The code was written by an ex-employee who is no longer able to be contacted. I thought perhaps these errors are ocurring because I reinstalled the files overwriting the older files and it perhaps changed the permissions, but I went to the directory and changed the directory and file permissions to all and it still gave me the identical error messages. Below in RED is the text which apears when you view http://www.voltageking.com/exams/ .

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/chroot/home/content/v/o/l/voltageking/tmp/sess_b8c8479843aced59a006557ec7b499ff, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/v/o/l/voltageking/html/exams/index.php on line 2

It is refering to line 2 of the index.php file which I have pasted below in BLUE:

Hi Steve,

Check your tmp directory hasn't been deleted, according to the error message it should be here /var/chroot/home/content/v/o/l/voltageking/tmp/

You are operating in a chroot so that's probably not be the true location, so locate the /voltageking/ directory and make sure the tmp directory exists there.

It will also have to be writeable.

Hope this helps

Jez

Hi Jez, This directory is already created and the proper permissions set. voltageking/tmp

Any other ideas?
