hi there,
i have a webserver running rh7.3 with apache 1.3.26 and php4.2.1 as
module. At random (not reproduceable reasons) all my session data gets
lost. the session file exists but all data written there in previous
scripts is gone.
All i get a hundreds of errors in my logfiles (like these):
[21-Aug-2002 16:47:07] PHP Warning: Failed to write session data

the webserver is at a very high load (70k users per day). problem is
that i need that session data but i cannot rely on them.
the session info in php.ini looks like this:
[snip]
[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = files
; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the
path
; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this
; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
session.save_path = /tmp
; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 1
; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = reqid
; Initialize session on request startup.
session.auto_start = 1
; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.
session.cookie_lifetime = 604800
