Phpmyadmin: Error when visiting localhost/phpmyadmin session start

I am using Ubuntu and I can't open phpmyadmin, when I visit it on localhost, it displays an error

[1] when I try running

sudo chmod 777 to /var/lib/php/session

OR

chown -R root:root /var/lib/php/session

it outputs

chmod: cannot access '/var/lib/php/session': No such file or directory

How to solve this issue?

Is it as simple as the difference between session and sessions in the directory structure you're modifying vs the configuration file's expected path? It's either a bad copy and paste or a simple problem to fix. - Isaac Bennetch

  1. Check your php.ini file and look for session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session" it has to be there.

  2. make sure the path exists.
