Session trouble - msheath - 08-06-2024
I am on Windows 11 with a CI3 website. The online site is throwing an error like this:
Message: session_start(): Failed to read session data: user (path: /var/cpanel/php/sessions/ea-php83)
This is because I was trying to clear out redundant session files and I inadvertently (some would say stupidly!) deleted the ea-php83 file with all the others. I've had a look at the php.ini file and the session path, sure enough, is this. The question is, how do I fix it? Will it go away after some time when new session files are created or do I have to do something? So far it is still throwing the error after a day. I have been in touch with the service providers who tell me this can only be fixed by my code although I don't know how. The site is, unsurprisigly, perfectly OK on my local server.
Grateful for advice.

Most hosting providers backup your website, check to see if yours backed it up for you
then ask them to restore i for you.

Sadly I have to pay extra for backup and I have not done so.
