[Fix] Opencart Session.php Permission Denied error

Opencart Session.php Permission Denied error

Have you been lately finding such errors on your opencart?

Its a improper hosting parameter issue,  Its because your opencart can not write sessions to your folder called /tmp

You may find multiple solutions online for this , Like make /tmp 0777 , or add                         session_save_path to your session.php or many more

But I have better solution for this follow this

Step1:

Create Folder to your opencart directory say
/public_html/shop/tmp

Step 2:

Goto

/public_html/shop/system/library/session.php

Find

session_start();

Replace it with

session_save_path($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’].”/tmp”);//By user
session_start();

Bingo thats it , It will start writting sessions to your

/public_html/shop/tmp directory
