Problem with sessions

Hi all!

I'm new to PHP...

I wrote a php script for login page, which creates some session
variables after validating the user... But it's not working...

When i compile it... The compiler is giving me the following
Warnings...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHP Warning: session_start():
open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_f207f20079897ad6f830fc632fa5e0c0,
O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)

PHP Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers
already sent by (output started at /home/gana/public_html/login.php:4)

PHP Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter -
headers already sent

PHP Warning: Unknown():
open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_f207f20079897ad6f830fc632fa5e0c0,
O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please
verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct
(/var/lib/php/session)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please help me... Thanks in advance...

Hello.
Make sure that you start the session before any HTML or headers as the error
states.
Eg.

<?php
session_start;
?>
<html><head> and so on......

Also if you are including other pages make sure there is only one session
start all together..

"Permission denied"

/var/lib/php/session/...

That looks like a very likely explanation for why your script doesn't
work.

Set session.save_path to something writable like /usr/tmp or /tmp and
restart Apache. If PHP is installed as a module, then the directory you
select must be writable by user "nobody". Alternatively, you could do
"chmod 4777 /var/lib/php/session" and merrily continue PHP-ing.
