(In reply to Marcus Rückert from comment #8) > /var/lib/php8/fpm/{,session/} php:php u=rwX,go= Who owns the php:php user and group? Use of php8-fpm is not limited to nginx so we must make sure this user is available if we need to store session information there. In that case, php8 shouldn't create/modify these locations, but the respective php variant used (mod_php8 and php8-fpm respectively. But then it also means that we need to change the default group and user for php8-fpm and make sure they are available.
