Error message

[njw]

I've not knowingly changed anything on the site since it last worked, but am now getting this error before the login screen:

Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp/dataface/sess_2541d1656ea2890b845e90a3d6e1c6e6, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp/dataface) in Unknown on line 0

The /tmp/dataface folder does exist and is currently set to protection 777.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

Neil

This is very strange. Have you tried chmod 777 on the /tmp dir also?

No, same error. This is displayed at the top of the screen - the others are at the bottom.

arning: session_start(): open(/tmp/dataface/sess_4afccdc93ec0e199c6bbc42d25e7ddcb, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/qsgi2ec/public_html/dataface0p6/Dataface/AuthenticationTool.php on line 181

I have searched Google and found that this has happened to a lot of people but there weren't too many explanations on how to fix it.

This post:

Indicates that it was a permissions issue on the tmp folder.

I suggest deleting /tmp/dataface and then checking again that the /tmp folder is chmod 777 . Whatever it is, it must be related to permissions.

My ISP fixed it: Don't understand their explanation though ...

"We have resolved the error on the domain.Error was with the failure to write to temp directory."

Mr. Neil,

Has your ISP offered any further explanation? Or did they offer an explanation how to do the fix? I would like to note it for the FAQ or the Error FAQ...

Thank you kindly bro.

Nope that was all they said. Sorry.
