    Hello, I’m having an issue when changing the php version of my server from 5.4 to 5.6 even to 7. When I’m changing the version and visiting the wp-admin I’m getting the following error messages

    Warning: session_start(): Cannot find save handler ‘memcache’ – session startup failed in /var/sites/*****/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/custom-sidebars/inc/external/wpmu-lib/functions-wpmulib.php on line 69

    Warning: session_start(): Cannot find save handler ‘memcache’ – session startup failed in /var/sites/*/******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/custom-sidebars/inc/class-custom-sidebars-explain.php on line 55

    Then when I’m chancing back the version to 5.4 the warning disappeared.
    I have spoke with the server admin and told me that memcache is enable on the server.

    Can anyone help me?

  • Hey there giwrgos88,

    How are you doing today?

    You’re probably using memcache for session storage so it’s quite possible that there is a wrong settings in you php.ini file, this is a common error.

    Please check the php.ini file or have your hosting provider to that for you and check if you have the following there:

    session.save_handler = memcache

    this will cause the problem, the correct value should be “memcached” (with d in the end).

    Hope this helps ??

    Cheers,
    Bojan
