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.
