Ibai Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Hi there, My community was working fine. I just started the upgraded to last version 4.7.8 from 4.7.7 and when the admin redirects to /upgrade I got: 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/cpanel/php/sessions/alt-php80) What should I do?? Sessions are working fine, what's going on now?

CheersnGears Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Did you just upgrade to PHP8 right before this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibai Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Nope. Finally got my host provider to help me with this. It seems to be an issue with sessions permissions. I don't understand this was working before then, but it does work now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Glad you got it squared away. TYPICALLY if you see session issues, it’s a hosting problem. 🙂 Ibai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
