#28669 [NEW]: Garbage collection doesnot work

From: liuyi1 at comp dot nus dot edu dot sg Operating system: Windows 2000 / Redhat A3 PHP version: 4.3.6 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Garbage collection doesnot work Description: ------------ I have several friends running my forum system.(www.celestesoft.com) Two of my friends got the same session problems under PHP4.3.6. ( both sites are under heavy traffic ) They are using default session handler and default session settings( 1/100 chance to start garbage collector ). Session files are stored in a specified folder ( not /tmp ) but in single level ( with no "N;xxx" configured ) . We noticed that session files are not cleaned automatically. after 3 days, both sites got over 150,000 session files. So now i have to write a cleaner for them to solve the problem temporarily. meanwhile the sites with PHP 4.3.5 or other previous verions are running very well. Sites with this problem ============================ Site 1: OS: Windows 2000 PHP 4.3.6 Site 2: OS: Redhat as 3.0 PHP 4.3.6 Sites without this problem ============================ Site 1: OS: FreeBSD 5.1 PHP 4.3.1 Site 2: OS: Redhat 9.0 PHP 4.3.5 Site 3: OS: Redhat 9.0 PHP 4.3.4 All sites are running the same forum system. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28669&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28669&r=float
