PHP Session Error Log Messages

[Neil Robins]

The following error messages are appearing in the Error Log file in the root directory. Should I be worried?

[26-Dec-2011 10:04:05] PHP Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_da9e68f829e120efb2627fb0ffce1ccb, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/gra707/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/wp_affiliate_platform1.php on line 8

Yeah, that error basically means that PHP on your server is failing to save the session data. PHP saves the session data in the “tmp” folder on you server but for some reason it is failing to save it (this usually means a bad configuration)

This will mean that some of the plugins functionality won’t work as expected as it needs PHP to work correctly.

Thank you for the info – I’ll see what my host can do.

Update: Got the host to fix the PHP Session and now this issue is fixed.
