I've asked this several times, but never got an answer:

What is it about this message that people can't figure out?  It is an
FAQ for sure, but the answer is 99% right in the message, so I'm not
sure why it is an FAQ.

Do as it says.  Edit your php.ini file (see the phpinfo() output from
test.php if you need help locating your php.ini file) and add either
or both of:

session.bug_compat_42 = Off

or

session.bug_compat_warn = Off

Then (and this is the part missing from the above error message) restart
your web server so it reloads the php.ini file.

Alternatives, which I DO NOT advise, are downgrade your php or upgrade your
Horde apps.
