    My error_log file is filled with errors about “Failed to read session data” lately:

    [29-Mar-2024 04:41:36 UTC] PHP Warning: session_start(): open(/var/cpanel/php/sessions/alt-php81/sess_6beee0ced25843c25699f34096c3b8ba, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/firebox/Inc/Framework/Inc/Base/Factory/Session.php on line 70

    What could be the cause of this? I think it started happening since my hosting provider did a server migration..

    Hello @stoelwinder,

    I believe this is a server side issue related to your php configuration. You can also try checking the folder privileges where these temp PHP session files are stored. If it’s working with another PHP version, you can try reviewing the different configuration files to get it to work.

    Dear Stergos,

    Thanks for the follow-up. You are right. During the migration, my host messed some things up and there were some incorrect path variables remaining from the old server. The issue is now gone.
