php session failed: Permission denied (13)
=10I am using WHM VER 82, in my PHP log I am getting following message,
PHP Notice: session_start(): ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php71) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/sitename/public_html/folder/index.php on line
My expired session has been get cleared, but getting above said message in error log, what does it mean? how to fix it?
I am using default session save path as /var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php71 and folder permission is 733
session.gc_probability = 2
session.gc_divisor=100
session.gc_maxlifetime=10800
Thanks for your support

This happens when the garabage collection is running through cron at the same time something else is attempting to perform the same action. To resolve this session.gc_probability can be set to 0 which would disable garbage collection. You can read about this here as well: Issues with PHP 5.3 and sessions folder 0 -
setting session.gc_probability=0, will be bad idea, becoz it will have a lot of orphaned session files in the session folder after it expiry, and it will waste the disk space and slow down your server. 0 -
Ultimately whats causing the error is garbage collection running at the same time something else is trying to clean the session. If the errors aren't causing actual issues with the site then I'd leave it - the sessions are being cleaned, you're getting the error when two separate processes are attempting the same action. 0 -
Ok, Anyway may I know what ll be another process attempting to clear session other than php session cleaner? 0 -
More than likely it's some portion of your application/software on the account you're experiencing the issue with, php-cli or something set within a CMS framework. 0 -
Thanks finally, Shall I ignore this notice/message? 0 -
I'd say you can safely ignore it since it's just two processes attempting to perform the same action - the one that isn't able to remove the file produces the error. 0
