var/session and var/tmp folder are both empty. Does this mean my session files are not generating?

var/session and var/tmp folder are both empty. Does this mean my session files are not generating?

Hi

I'm new to Magento. I am not able to create a new customer through the front end and I noticed that my var/session and var/tmp folders are empty. Are my sessions not working? 

 

I have given my entire var folder in my magento root file permission 777. I have checked the app/etc/env.php for the session info and all I see is "file". So that means its being saved somewhere on the files and not the db. For whatever reason, I do not have a php.ini file. 

 

Here is my default cookie settings

Cookie Path: /

Cookie Domain: website.com

Use Http only: yes

For Cookie Domain I have tried leaving that blank (saw no changes) and I have tried adding a dot before it .website.com but that made logging into an existing account also failing.
