Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-24 12:35:08] jeff at macloue dot com Description: ------------ php -n throws a warning: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: mm_create(0, /session_mm_cli1000) failed, err mm:core: failed to open semaphore file (Permission denied) in Unknown on line 0 Expected result: ---------------- This bug was previously submitted as #49401. Despite marked bogus it can be very annoying and also it doesn't seem logical to make the default built-in configuration to throw a warning on most/all the platforms. I also did some investigation on that libmm used by PHP session extension and found that creating the semaphore file is not a must on many platforms but it is kind of recommended and fail-safe way. I don't see any big trouble if libmm's semaphores are created in $TMP or /tmp directory instead of "blank" - at least it will make PHP _safer_ on many platforms without adding much risks. Of course the best way imho will be to make some ./configure switch for setting default session.save_path value or smth like that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49658&edit=1
