Wildcard Chris Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hey guys, I'm running the upgrade to the latest version and I'm getting this error on the admin/upgrade/ page: We were unable to start a PHP session. You will need to contact your host to adjust your PHP configuration before you can continue. The error reported was: session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/opt/rh/rh-php73/lib/php/session) So my site is down right now...

Solution Wildcard Chris Posted February 8, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted February 8, 2022 I managed to fix this and get the upgrader running: chown nginx:nginx /var/opt/rh/rh-php73/lib/php/session -R It was a permissions issue with the session save, interesting how this upgrade threw this error but previous ones did not.

Marc Stridgen Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Glad you managed to find the issue there. Indeed this would be a server related problem, rather than one with the software. It may actually be worth contacting your hosting company to ask why this happened, to save you having the issue in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
