Unable to install forum due to PHP sessions.

Recommended Posts

So I bought hosting for forum on a German service provider and through filezilla installed all the files necessary, however when I go to the page and start the installation the following error is shown 

Spoiler

We were unable to start a PHP session. You will need to contact your host to adjust your PHP configuration before you can continue. The error reported was: session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/www/vhosts/X/sessions)

What could be the issue here and what could be done to solve it? 

Thanks in advance!

I've removed the name of your hosting provider for your security.

That said, are there any error logs with your chosen web server, i.e. Apache? How about SQL errors? It's probably just an issue with your PHP version but without more information, I can't be sure.
