serendipity_admin.php was the easiest place to grab the error.

This was from 1.7 alpha in the master branch. A similar failure occurs with the 1.6 branch.

ElasticBeanstalk is a PaaS solution, so I dont believe there is any way to change those permissions. I've also seen some conflicting information regarding php5.3 and support for sessions.

You might have found this by yourself...

Ah thanks!

In fact, I was working on this earlier yesterday than that was posted (I opened a GitHub issue, but I think bug reports are supposed to still come here to the forum).

Cheers!

Yes, but as you can see, that is not a matter of Serendipity, I assume.
If you get any more experiences on that plattform, please post them here, as this might be interesting for others too.

Yes, understood that it's not an s9y bug (now).

This was also my first use of php 5.3, and googling around for php 5.3 + session problems shows some information that sessions are deprecated in 5.3. I thought perhaps it was an issue there (which is why I also tried the 1.7alpha code).

I guess this is the fate of early adopters

Thanks again

Yes, session_register() functions are deprecated, but still supported. The new is to use the $_SESSION superglobal instead. S9y is up2date.
