CakePHP Error: Unable to configure the session, setting session.auto_start failed

Question

I\'m getting this error:

Error: [CakeSessionException] Unable to configure the session, setting session.auto_start failed.

I\'m using Cakephp 2.2.4.

Answer 1

In PHP version 5.4.19 - developers closed the ability to set session.auto_start option from user script.

CakePHP removed this option from default session configuration only in 2.4.0 version.

So you have 3 main option: upgrade CakePHP, downgrade PHP, or use standard php session.
