#23370 [NEW]: Session data cannot be stored

From: sven at nimrod-online dot com Operating system: Windows 98 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Apache2 related Bug description: Session data cannot be stored After setting up my Apache 2.0.45 webserver with PHP (php4apache2.dll module), I only have one problem with PHP. In the php.ini file, I have set: 'session.save_path = ".;e:/program files/webserver/php/tmp"' but i also tried: 'session.save_path = e:/program files/webserver/php/tmp' and more similar values(8 letter names like progra~1, going up directories instead of giving the full path) but the session storage simply does not work. The rest of the session part in php.ini is as following: 'session.save_handler = files session.use_cookies = 1 ; session.use_only_cookies = 1 session.name = SESSION session.auto_start = 0 session.cookie_lifetime = 0 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_dividend = 100 session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.bug_compat_42 = off session.bug_compat_warn = off session.referer_check = session.entropy_length = 0 session.entropy_file = ;session.entropy_length = 16 ;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom session.cache_limiter = nocache session.cache_expire = 180 session.use_trans_sid = 0' The warning I get back is: '<b>Warning</b>: session_start() [<a href='http://www.php.net/function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: open(/tmp\sess_a1eaccb1acf2e731c362a96de932fe71, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in <b>E:\program files\Webserver\www-docs\pcactief\admin\index.php</b> on line <b>8</b><br />' The part about this warning that surprised me most was '/tmp\sess_a1eaccb1acf2e731c362a96de932fe71', even if I renamed the directory to /temp or /temporary (in the php.ini file and on my harddisk). Resetting the server does not work. Does anyone else have this problem? And how can i solve this? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23370&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23370&r=gnused
