I'm currently working on a new Application using (among other things) Zend_Auth but, for whatever reason, this Error Message is showing up at any location totally randomly (or so it seams)
Zend_Session::start()
- /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Session.php(Line:480): Error #8session_start()
[function.session-start]: ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var/lib/php5) failed: Permission denied (13) Array
A solution is to set the session.save_path in the php.ini file to a writable directory. for example: session.save_path = "/tmp". Switching the session garbage collection off in the first example is not a good idea. The second example does not work on Ubuntu 10.04
