symfony Warning: SessionHandler::read(/Application

Question

Installed Symfony. Ran php app/console server:run. At localhost:8000 I get the following error: symfony Warning: SessionHandler::read(x/y/z): open failed Permission denied.

This question just points to the symfony docs which I tried unsuccessfully.

Answer 1

This finally worked:

sudo chown -R myusername x/y/z

Is there a better solution?
