Codeigniter: getting errors when I load Session library

Question

I get the following errors:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: chmod() has been disabled for security reasons

Filename: drivers/Session_files_driver.php

Line Number: 191

Backtrace:

File: /home/almsa/public_html/library/application/controllers/Home.php Line: 23 Function: library

File: /home/almsa/public_html/library/index.php Line: 315 Function: require_once

But if I remove $this->load->library('session'); from my controller then the errors go. My controller has only that line.

the controller works fine on localhost but gets that error when I uploaded it to a live server.

Please help, Thank you !

Remove the chmod string from the disable_functions at php.ini* file — always-a-learner

Or you can Ask your hosting provider to remove the string above if you don't have an access to the php.ini* file — always-a-learner

Please try setting the Error Reporting in the site Global Configuration to System Default or to None, that should hide PHP Notices and Warnings. But it is not recommended. — always-a-learner

Remove the chmod string from the disable_functions at php.ini* file
Ask your hosting provider to remove the string above if you don't
have an access to the php.ini* file
Change hosting provider which allows the running of the chmod
function.

Thank you both, please let me know if I can find the php.ini myself or should I talk to the server support team? I use Cpanel.

Add to your controller the following constructor:

function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('session');
}

If its still not running on live you need to check you config settings regarding sessions storage in CI 3

    $config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
    $config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
    $config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
    $config['sess_save_path'] = NULL;   // Mainly check this item `sess_save_path`
    $config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
    $config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
    $config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;
