hmm. ok, you will need to clear your cookies on your browser.

so clear your cache and cookies, then close your browser and the open it

then try to open phpmyadmin again

i refreshed by browser, but still it says the same error:

phpMyAdmin - Error

Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

ok, it seems that php is trying to write your sessions to /var/lib/php/session/ but it doesnt have permission.

so give it permission:


if that doesnt work, make sure that the session/ directory belong to lighttpd user and group so send these command:





after that try to open phpmyadmin again.
