#19022 [Com]: PHP Warning: Failed to write session data (files)

ID: 19022 Comment by: php at rjs3 dot com Reported By: phpbugs at mx4k dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: linux (rh7.3), apache 1.3.26 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: I have had this problem for a long time. Thanks to the individual that mentioned the /var/www/tmp directory. I did not change the permissions of the directory, I simply got rid of it and the problem went away. I used to have a /var/www/tmp from testing in the past. So I just deleted it and the problem is solved. PHP developers: Any reason why this would mess up PHP sessions?

It seems to be related to the require() statement. I solved this putting the seesion_start() statement outside the included script (e.g. if I have require("auth.php") I put session_start() issue outside auth.php. At least It works in my particular case. You can test it and see if it works for you too. Please post your results.

I created a tmp directory in /var/www that is my OpenBSD Apache root directory (not document root). I set the right permissions and now it runs!!! Good luck guys! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-29 06:02:15] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip (can not reproduce anywhere) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-29 05:25:32] cold80 at libero dot it I have a basic installation of OpenBSD 3.2, Qmail 1.03, Courier-IMAP 1.6.2, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.2.3. I have configured PHP and all seems run. But, when I installed SquirrelMail 1.2.10 for webmail service, I received the same error Warning: open(/tmp/sess_7538b7739bdd44e2fb0e747f65af858d, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /htdocs/webmail/src/global.php on line 134 and then Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0 I think it is your same problem. I have also tried to write a simple php file with only the row <? session_open(); ?> It returns the usual error! I hope there will be a solution as soon as possible, I'm very sad to see all run but I can't install my Squirrel WebMail... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
