title: XAMPP - phpMyAdmin error session_start() Permission denied (13)
body: <p>I recently upgraded my Macbook's OS to El Capitan. I set up XAMPP just like i did on my old OS. I am trying to create a Database using phpMyAdmin But all i am getting is this error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Warning</strong> in ./libraries/session.inc.php#101</p>

  <p>I thought it was a permissions issue so i changed all the XAMPP folders to read and write for all but still getting the same error. I have never been faced with this error before and my phpMyAdmin worked fine on my old OS. I have seen similar questions posted on here but none of the answers for them are working for me. Dose anyone know what it could be? Is this a problem within XAMPP/Apache or is this coming from the browser maybe? Im so lost with it and all out of ideas!</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>I don't know if this helps but i just checked my PHP info settings for session.save_path and it says "NO VALUE" is that suppose to be like that?</p>
