session.save_path error php.ini on cpanel VPS

Monday, May 18th, 2009

While installing a third party product on a cPanel VPS , we came around an error:

The session.save_path setting in your php configuration file (php.ini) is not set or is set to a folder which did not exist. You might need to set the save_path setting in php.ini or verify that the folder sets in save_path exist.

To get this fixed, we have done the following:

Find the php.ini file

php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration file (php.ini) => /etc/php.ini

When checked the session.save_path it was not set, it was then set to /tmp.

session.save_path  = "/tmp"

And, all worked fine.
