Problem with autocron

jonaskellens

This is my cron :

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php httpdocs/support/api/cron.php

and this is the mail that is mailed to me after the cron executed :

PHP Warning: Module 'json' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

PHP Warning: session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_7k67tj51su1vcfmaoa3rjqkfd3, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs/support/main.inc.php on line 48

PHP Warning: Unknown: open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_7k67tj51su1vcfmaoa3rjqkfd3, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

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) in Unknown on line 0

Where is the problem situated ?

It looks like the php doesn't have permission to write to the session folder, probably because you're running it from the command line instead of the web. Sometimes, they are configured with different permissions for security reasons. You could either contact your host and inquire about it, or try changing the session save path yourself, via php.ini (if it even will effect the CLI, depends on your hosts's configuration).

I have added this cron through my webhosting interface : Plesk.

So this means Plesk runs it from commandline ?

Also the user is not apache, but a 'normal' user which has access to just the website-folders. Maybe this could cause the lack of rights ?
