#13887 [Com]: session data lost on virtual server

ID: 13887 Comment by: roland at lichti dot de Reported By: mark dot gebhart at balcab dot ch Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Please check http://cms.lichti-edv.de/about.php and monitor the PHPSESSID. It keeps changing all the time. The configuration is shown on the same page. If you have further questions, please ask them. Another note: no, I'm not able to install the CVS-version since that is a more or less production system and until I really get an explanation why the update should solve my problem it is not feasable to update it.

Please supply a more accurate description of what you are seeing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-31 10:42:36] mark dot gebhart at balcab dot ch The problem is that PHP is not saving the session file properly befor the server process is terminated. The problem ony occurs when a server process terminates (like if the server's "keepalive" setting expires, or if the HTTP 1.0 protocol is being used [1.0 doesn't support keepalive]). Because of the way we run our virtual servers, keepalive has no effect (the server processes terminate after each request) so the session bug shows up _every_ time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13887&edit=1
