It worked fine under GoDaddy’s Windows Ultimate. I migrated to GoDaddy’s Linux Ultimate and everything still worked fine. However, I just migrated to GoDaddy’s Linuz Ultimate 4GH and now I receive these errors whenever an App has been configured for the plugin (if I remove the App (i.e. blank out the fields and press update) the error goes away). * Errors: * Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/chroot/home/content/ 51/3319651/tmp/sess_h778cqmkebgl26o0ic7f2l8e31, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/51/3319651/html/ChristopherFulghamCOM/wp-content/ plugins/facebook/includes/facebook-php-sdk/facebook.php on line 39 * Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /home/content/51/3319651/html/ ChristopherFulghamCOM/wp-content/plugins/facebook/includes/facebook-php-sdk/facebook. php:39) in /home/content/51/3319651/html/ChristopherFulghamCOM/wp-content/plugins/ facebook/includes/facebook-php-sdk/facebook.php on line 39 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/51/3319651/html/ChristopherFulghamCOM/wp-content/plugins/facebook/ includes/facebook-php-sdk/facebook.php:39) in /home/content/51/3319651/html/ChristopherFulghamCOM/ wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881 * Warning: Unknown: open(/var/chroot/home/content/51/3319651/tmp/sess_h778cqmkebgl26o0ic7f2l8e31, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 * Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files).

Happens to the best of us. Happened to me too on GoDaddy hosting. * Unfortunately, the only way to fix the problem is to ask your host why the tmp directory isn’t working or setup properly for PHP sessions. * One workaround is to set the session.save_path to an empty directory you control. How you do this is up to the webhost and such. It may be enough to create a tmp directory in your account and then use this line in the .htaccess to set the directory: * `php_value session.save_path '/path/to/a/writeable/folder'` * Alternately, you can try making a php.ini, but few hosts allow that. * [Christopher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cfulgham/) * (@cfulgham) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-php-warnings/#post-2821507) * Thanks Otto. * I am on the phone with GoDaddy tech support as I write this. They identified the problem just as you have and have already created the tmp directory in the appropriate place and all is working now. * Thanks for your help. * [debdbuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debdbuck/) * (@debdbuck) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-php-warnings/#post-2821664) * I had the same problem! Thank you so much for the solution Otto! * GoDaddy went through the “it’s not our fault, it’s the application’s fault” rounds… I insisted that we check things out quoting this thread! * After a hold time to “check with their advanced server team,” the rep informed me that “the connection to the tmp folder was broken” during the migration from Windows to Linux. * I kept him on the line until I put my app id and key in. It works! Thanks guys!!
