 * Hi all, I just installed WP and Events Manager, and upon installation of EM, 
   I get the following at the header of my site:
 *     ```
       Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_9d42a748d912cdfcea073f38c0e1c1fe, O_RDWR) failed: Read-only file system (30) in /home/carclube/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/classes/em-notices.php on line 11

 * My host thinks it might have to do with how I set up my test user accounts. When
   not having a domein name I use the 100.100.100.100/~testuser option, which according
   to him is not the right solution.
 * So, I have to set it up differently,
    For now I just commented out line 11 at
   em-notices.php which also does the trick…

 * you might have issues with regards to success/error messages not showing by doing
   that, but aside from that the plugin should work.

 * Greetings all. I am having similar problems with Events Manageron a godaddy server.
 * Frankie Jarrett? Did you ever sort out your errors with Godaddy? they moved our
   site to a new server and they changed our permissions and we lost use of event
   manager.
 * I will post any updates here for us.
 * Cheers!

 * If they changed permissions on your server, you should try to get them to set
   them correctly.

 * I ran into this issue when moving a WordPress site from one server to another.
 * – I was using GoDaddy shared hosting
    – I was using Events Manager plug-in successfully
   before the move – The day the move to a new server was completed, I received 
   the errors mentioned above; in addition, all my sites pages were missing, and
   I couldn’t even log in to the back-end to make changes (using FireFox)
 * *****Resolution (i.e. for my specific situation) *****
 * – To immediately solve the problem from a visual standpoint, log in to your WordPress
   site using Chrome or another browser (you’ll have to test). DEACTIVATE the Events
   Manager plug-in. Once that is done, the site should return to it’s normal self(
   visually)
    – Via an FTP client, check the root of your hosting for a folder called‘
   tmp’. If it is missing, create it. If it is there, open all permissions for that
   folder. – If the above fails to work, call your hosting company. Provide them
   a link to this forum, and if necessary, reactivate the plug-in so they can see
   the error message; they can check additional permissions and folders if needed
   and help get you back in action.
 * Hope that helps!

 * If you put error_reporting(0); in wp-config file it will permanently off the 
   error notices throughout the sit. If you are developer this is not good.
 * You can simply edit the ’em-notices.php’ file and put erro_reporting(0); on very
   top of the file.
 * Thanks.

 * create an empty php.ini file and put in this line…
 * safe_mode = Off
 * upload it to your public_html folder. after that, add this line in your .htaccess
   file…
 * suPHP_ConfigPath /PATH/TO/public_html
 * of course edit the above line to match your path to your public_html folder.
 * It works for me.
