Situation:
----------
2 websites on the same server (on a Linux Multiple Domain Reseller Hosting plan) that both contain <?php session_start(); ?>

How to reproduce error:
-----------------------

2. Open your browser
3. Visit the first website (beach1.sibername.com/~dilletpr)
4. Visit the second website (beach1.sibername.com/~duroinmo) (the error should appear on this site)
5. Completely close your browser
6. Open your browser
7. Visit the second website (beach1.sibername.com/~duroinmo)

The session_start() - failed: Permission denied (13) error appears when you visit the second of 2 websites that are on the same server. If you visit even more websites on the same server, they all have the error except the first one.
