Bug #18382 Updated: php looking for session_mm.sem even though session set to files

ID: 18382 Updated by: nod@bouncing.org Reported By: nod@bouncing.org -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: suse linux 8 -PHP Version: 4.2.1 +PHP Version: 4.3 New Comment: you're right, /usr/bin/php is version 4.1, 4.3 installs in /usr/local/bin/php and works. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 20:07:29] sniper@php.net I don't think you're trying with the correct PHP binary now..if you would be using the snapshot (the url I posted) the filenames would be something like these: /tmp/session_mm_cgi0.sem /tmp/session_mm_cgi501.sem /tmp/session_mm_cli0.sem /tmp/session_mm_cli501.sem Each user id has own sem file. And each SAPI also. Make sure you're REALLY using the correct binary, by running 'php -v' which should show '4.3.0-dev' as version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 15:05:35] nod@bouncing.org very reproducible now, even with the latest snapshot. first check the contents of /tmp and if it exists remove /tmp/session_mm.sem as this is what happens on boot. run /usr/bin/php -h as root ls /tmp and session_mm.sem will be there as read/ write only to root as an unprivileged user run /usr/bin/php -h and it crashes. session.save_handler is set in /etc/php.ini as files. My configure and exact error and file permission are listed below. Surely each php session should be on a per user basis with each person having their own .sem file ? ./configure --with-apxs --with-mysql --with-pgsql --with-mm --enable-trans-id -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 17 19:47 session_mm.sem nod@shortnblue:/usr/src/php4-200207170900> /usr/bin/php -h Content-type: text/html PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 13:54:13] sniper@php.net Can you please try this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz I can't reproduce this with the latest 4.3.0-dev.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 13:08:13] nod@bouncing.org opening again ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 13:06:52] nod@bouncing.org bug is still open with 4.2.1 if you run /usr/bin/php as root it puts a session_mm.sem in tmp with read write only privileges to the root user, thereby disabling other user's ability to run. session.save_handler is still set to files, but is still calling mm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
