Error with php 5.4

Kirby 2 Questions 🤔
1

Hi,
I have installed a kirby website on a client server. The maximal configuration version of PHP available in 5.4 (like recommended for kirby installation). I have checked it out with a php info and, this is right (not just a fake panel configurtation annoucement).

However, i have few issues.

When debug mode is turn to true in my config file, these error appear on the home page :

Warning: session_start(): open(/home/content/73/2828573/tmp/sess_evv34462h6ibjgde37uvr7d5s3, O_RDWR) failed: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type (2) in /home/content/73/2828573/html/kirby/toolkit/lib/s.php on line 54

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/content/73/2828573/html/kirby/toolkit/lib/s.php:54) in /home/content/73/2828573/html/kirby/toolkit/lib/s.php on line 54

The second thing is, I can’t access to the panel login page. I get these errors :

Warning: session_start(): open(/home/content/73/2828573/tmp/sess_evv34462h6ibjgde37uvr7d5s3, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/73/2828573/html/kirby/toolkit/lib/s.php on line 54

I don’t have any issues on my local serveur with PHP 5.4.39. Very strange.

My question is : is Kirby already available with any 5.4 PHP configuration ?
Thanks for your help.

This looks like your /tmp folder is not writable, see also this post: Php error messages on site

Actually, it is… Do you think it isn’t a php version issue ?

I don’t think so, although it is not advisable to stick with PHP 5.4 as it’s no longer supported: http://php.net/supported-versions.php, so this is a security issue.

Our recommendation is to use the PHP 7.1.x or the highest possible version available. If the hosting provider doesn’t support a newer version than outdated 5.4, I’d consider changing the provider.

Edit: could you also check if there is something in your config.php that should not be there? Like a space preceding before the opening tag?

I checked my config file, everything seems to be ok.
I have also installed the kirby starter kit on this same hosting provider - I got the same issue when I tried to access the panel login page.

Thanks for your answers.

That means, a fresh, completely unmodified starterkit causes the same issue?

I don’t think this is a Kirby issue, I’d recommend that you contact your hosting provider with these error messages.

Yes, I got the same issue only on panel login page.
I contact the provider.
