Warning: session_start()...Permission denied (13) error

[BBLSystems]

We're receiving the follow message on the home page of our wordpress site which is integrated with WHMCS. It says there's a permissions error, but the permissions seem to be correct.

 

The error:

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_d539e498a725a01cd1f5671ef4d5bbce, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/bbl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/whmcs-wordpresss-integration/whmcs-integration.php on line 205

 

The tmp folder is in /home/bbl/tmp. I checked the permissions via the cpanel file manager and they were 755, so I set them to 777. The error remains.

 

I ran the following test script and it reported:

 

41777 php-umask: 22 exec-umask: 0022

 

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$s = stat('/tmp');

printf('%o', $s[2]);

file_put_contents('/tmp/phptest1234.txt', 'test');

unlink('/tmp/phptest1234.txt');

echo ' php-umask: ', sprintf('%o', umask()), "\n";

echo ' exec-umask: ', exec('umask'), "\n";

 

 

We're also seeing the following on our home page. Any ideas?

 

Warning: Unknown: open(/tmp/sess_d539e498a725a01cd1f5671ef4d5bbce, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0
