SuiteCRM-7.0.2 installation session.save_path

[benoit31000]

Hi,

I try to install SuiteCRM-7.0.2 and i have an error with install.php :

PHP Sessions Configuration Error

SugarCRM
SuiteCRM relies upon PHP sessions to store important information while connected to this web server. Your PHP installation does not have the Session information correctly configured.
A common misconfiguration is that the ‘session.save_path’ directive is not pointing to a valid directory.
Please correct your PHP configuration in the php.ini file located here below.
/usr/local/etc/php.ini

But in my php.ini i have /tmp for session.save_path

I don’t understand.

Can you help me ?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Hi Benoit,

Can you provide full details of your setup i.e. Server/PHP versions.

Thanks,

I got the same problem as well

My setup:
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core) CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core) (every update applied)
PHP Version: 5.4.16
nginx: 1.6.2
php-fpm

My PHP.INI says:
session.save_path = “/tmp”

i really don’t know what to do… i am clueless

For anyone who may still come across this issue on new installs…

Some step-by-step guides miss one step regarding the configuration of the PHP Session folder permissions.

In such case, confirm there is an existing folder /var/lib/php/session, otherwise, create it. Then, make sure the appropriate web server engine has permissions on it (e.g., nginx):

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/php/session
sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/lib/php/session

I came across this issue today on the following walk through for SuiteCRM on CentOS 8 with Nginx:
