Need help with session_save_path [SOLVED]

[Ray UK]

Hi,

So I'm getting the following error when in debug mode

[8] SessionHandler::gc(): ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php74) failed: Permission denied (13)

Im running php 8 not 7.

Now when I look at phpinfo.php I see this:

The loaded configurations file is /opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/etc/php.ini but when I view that in terminal, the session path is not set in there.

I have looked in multiphp INI editor in my WHM panel and that shows the following.

I can't find anywhere else that is setting the save path?

Any ideas.

Thanks

Seems to be a conflict - session path is php7.4 but ini file is php8

You probably have  multiple php versions in cpanel - you should first make sure which one is active on your site.

Yes I have 7 & 8 both active in WHM. 

Im using PHP 7 on my live site as that is on PS1.7.

Im currently making a theme for PS 8 using an install in a sub domain and running PHP 8.  If I use 7 on the PS8 version I get a blank screen because the module for the new B.O theme seems to be updated to only work on PHP8.*

Ive found the offeneding little ......   thing.

There was a file called user.ini in the root folder.  That save session path was set in there.
