• After that, we can create a new session folder with the below-given command.
• Moreover, we use ‘777‘ permission, so everyone can read, write, and execute the folder.

sudo mkdir -m 777 /var/lib/php/sessions

• Also, check the sessions folder status and its permission using the ls command.

ls /var/lib/php -l
