open(/var/lib/php/session/…sesionid, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)

I am running my website on using ec2 nginx. I have done a update on the instance and now I getting this error when the site loads.

open(/var/lib/php/session/sessionid, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /var/www/html/includes/session.php on line 17

 session_start(): Failed to read session data: files (path: /var/lib/php/session) in /var/www/html/includes/session.php on line 17

I am wondering how to fix this?

Appreciate any help Thanks

You install PHP from zero in this machine? You already tried to put a complete permission in this folder? Ex: sudo chmod 777 -R /var/lib/php/session
