#5543 [Com]: Problem with specifying sessions files path in virtual domains

ID: 5543 Comment by: screen@brainkrash.com Reported By: Leknor@Leknor.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.2.16 / Apache 1.3.12 PHP Version: 4.0.1pl2 Assigned To: zak New Comment: I'm having what would seem to be the same problem noted here on Solaris 5.8 w/ php 4.2.2. I'm running in a base_opendir environment and i'm trting to set session.save_path via ini_set to a directory within the opendir path. I'm seeing the sess_* files created with owner rw perms and 0 bytes before the segfault occurs on the call to session_start(). I've also tried switching to using a mysql based session save handler and received the same segfault on session_start, obviosuly without any files being created.

I found that when I change the 'session.save_path' option via a php_value in an apache VirtualHost defination causes this error: [Tue Jul 11 19:44:51 2000] [notice] child pid 5138 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) and here is an example of the httpd.conf section: ... <VirtualHost leknor.com> ... /leknor/sessions ... </VirtualHost> ... I have: * tried many varriations of file permissions/owners on the session dir * tried different locations including the one above and /tmp/leknor.com * tried setting php_value session.save_path /tmp and it generates a seg fault also even though it is the same settion as the global config in php.ini What is strange IMO is that even thought the child pid seg faults the session seems to get read/written to disk correctly. which leads me to believe that fault is in the session file close code. The following work around seems to work for me: Before you call session_start(); in your php code call session_save_path("/some/path"); eg: ... session_save_path("/home/leknor/sessions"); session_start(); ...
