#15658 [Com]: session.save_path directive has no influence on session files save_path

ID: 15658 Comment by: kitdekat at earthlink dot net Reported By: mrvanes at bigfoot dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: win2k PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I have actually had the same problem with my system running Win2K AdvSrv SP3, Apache2.0.45, PHPv4.3.2-RC (from snaps...). I have everything working fine except for my sessions. They continuosly want to be stored on '/tmp\...' even though i have modified the php.ini as follows: NOTE: install dir for php is 'w:\var\php' install dir for apache is 'w:\var\www' temp folder desired is 'w:\var\www\tmp' session.save_path = w:\var\www\tmp session.save_path = w:\var\php\tmp session.save_path = w:\var\tmp i have tried all these configurations, but info.php continues to state the my session.save_path is '/tmp'. and yes, i have restarted Apache (multiple times, included complete stop and starts) and even restarted server to remove and cached information. all to no avail. completely frustratin, since i have everything else on the site up and running, i just can seem to remember what i was running and who i was running it for ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-05 06:27:09] sniper@php.net Try the PHP 4.2.0RC2 from http://www.php.net/~derick/ (and remember to replace php4ts.dll also!) If you still have problems with it, reopen this bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-05 00:00:05] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is being suspended automatically.

There is no reference to /tmp in my whole php.ini file! From my point of view it looks like the session.save_path directive recognition in the php.ini file is broken. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15658&edit=1
