#19029 [NEW]: Session data randomly disappearing and logging users out

From: rossr@reactive.com Operating system: Linux (2.4 Kernal) PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Session data randomly disappearing and logging users out For the most part our sessions work fine. However at random times the session data appears to just disappear and the user is logged out. They can then log straight back in no problems and create a new session. Due to it's random nature this is really hard to track down and provide anything that can replicate it. It happens across different browsers and platforms. PHP is running as the CGI version with Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) and the site has FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 extensions. The session settings for our PHP.ini file is as follows: Directive Local Value Master Value =========================== =========== ============== session.auto_start Off Off session.cache_expire 180 180 session.cache_limiter nocache nocache session.cookie_domain no value no value session.cookie_lifetime 0 0 session.cookie_path / / session.cookie_secure Off Off session.entropy_file no value no value session.entropy_length 0 0 session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440 session.gc_probability 1 1 session.name PHPSESSID PHPSESSID session.referer_check no value no value session.save_handler files files session.save_path /tmp /tmp session.serialize_handler php php session.use_cookies On On session.use_trans_sid 1 1 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19029&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19029&r=globals
