Cannot log in after PHP update

[Sooty57]

My hosted server PHP version was updated from v7.4 to 8.2, and I can no longer log in to dadbik. The error log shows:

[21-Mar-2024 11:47:10 UTC] PHP Warning: session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/cpanel/php/sessions/alt-php74) in /home/acuadmin/public_html/adminsection/include/common_start.php on line 0

It seems that the script is still looking for session dat in the old path. As the common_start.php file is understandably encrypted I do not see how I can resolve this without re-installing dadabik, but am concerned that this may cause even more problems.

It may be that the old path is in your cookies/cache. Have you tried clearing them or using a different browser/ incognito mode.

What version of Dadabik are you using?

I had cleared browser cache (chrome) without success. Tried using Safari, and all ok.
Boy, do I feel silly 🤭

Just received the following message from ISP Tech Support:

It appears that the warning was triggered by an incorrect session save path. To address this, I've adjusted the PHP session save path to match the actual session path of PHP 8.2. As a result, the warning has ceased to appear.

I don't feel so silly now 😆
