Upgrade/Install problem

[Zafari]

Hi there, I have had some contact with Frederic regarding issues with upgrading my chat to the latest version. Since then, I have updated PHP but compiled it as a binary to run under CGI so that I may still run a Plesk Admin server.

I have done the install, confirmed PHP 5.2 is working on other sites and my vbulletin is working on this site with the new PHP version running.

Here are my issues:

I cannot get the chat to display, and I cannot get the Admin Panel to run.

ChatRoomfixed.html shows a blank page and the Admin page produces this output:

PHP Run-Time Warning [ 2 ] Description: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_e2acdcf9dc20cf97c64add24327888b5, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13). in file /var/www/vhosts/mypowersurge.com/httpdocs/ChatRoom/ChatRoomACP/admin.mod.php on line 179

Due to the dependency on both PHP and MySQL, Flasherize must remain temporarily closed until the error is rectified. We are sorry for any inconveniences.

Seems like something is not correctly configured for you sessions, as line 179 simply does a "session_start();".

I think you need to have a look at how sessions are configured in php.ini, specifically what method of session storage do you use and where are they stored. Seems likely you have defined sessions as files and PHP is trying to store them in a directory to which it lacks write permissions.
