In this guide we will set up sessions folder and give them the right permissions to handle sessions during runtime.
1. Create sessions directory
Navigate to the home folder with the following command:
cd /home
Create admin sessions directory with the following command:
mkdir admin_sessions
This will create a directory called admin_sessions in the home directory. Similarly create a frontend sessions directory with the following command:
mkdir frontend_sessions
This will create a directory called frontend_sessions in the home directory.
2. Give permission to the above created sessions directory
Type the following command to give the directory we just created the required persmissions:
sudo chmod -R 777 admin_sessions/ frontend_sessions/
3. Setup cron
Next, we need to set up cron. Enter the following command in your terminal:
crontab -e
you will be prompted the below options as in screenshot
Select Option 2 in the above options
A file will open. Got to the end of the file and copy paste the below lines:
0 0 1 * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cron/monthly_stats.php 0 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cron/daily_stats.php */10 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cron/get_stats.php */5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/cron/maintenance.php */1 * * * * /var/www/html/cron/process_bitcoin.sh
Save the file by pressing Control + O.
Next, press Enter.
Exit the file by pressing Control + X.
Then, restart cron by using the following command:
sudo service cron restart
