Hi,

After moved several accounts from cpanel to cpanel server, some script experience a new error like:

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in /home/his-username/public_html/functions/sessions.php on line 13

Anybody have any idea what cause the problem and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Wang.

We started seeing this on one of our servers today. The easy answer is to ensure that /tmp is chmod 777 and has plenty of room. Neither of these was a problem for us. I did a little clearing of old session data from /tmp and it seems to have helped improve the problem.

Restarting apache fixes it, but it gets back, any serious suggestion ? I am facing this case on random basis.

Thank you
