#14453 [Com]: session_start() provokes a crash of php/apache

ID: 14453 Comment by: mugane at hotmail dot com Reported By: nfankhauser at swissonline dot ch Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: win2k PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: I have a similar problem... So I tried to switch session.save_path to the directory that currently has a bunch of sess_03796f43ceb58a273cc6f3d22474e99d - like files in it (presumably the session path) - no luck. Perhaps someone in the know could advise on how one would determine the correct directory or if there are any special syntax rules in defining it...

As stated, Setting the correct temp directory for sessions fixed problem. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-18 01:41:44] nohn@php.net Reproduced this Crash with PHP 4.1.1 (www.php4win.com) and Apache 1.3.22 on Windows NT 4 Server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-17 13:26:50] flash at drewnels dot net changing the path fixes the crash problem when session.save_handler is set to 'files'... but what causes the crash when it is set to 'user' ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 06:34:10] lazybutt666 at yahoo dot com A suggestion to help reduce this error: In future releases php.ini-dist's session.save_path should contain the value of c:\php\temp\ or something and not "/tmp" which does not exist on Windows platforms! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
