Recently I updated my Mautic installation to 2.9 and after completion had permission errors on /var/lib/php/session.  
  
  
  
Permissions were 770 and user/group/all was root apache all yet it still was causing problems.  
  
  
  
Shouldn’t apache having rwx on the directory give Mautic permission to write and read from there?
