#28724 [NEW]: session.save_path appears to be ignored

From: php at tjworld dot org Operating system: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise PHP version: 4.3.7 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session.save_path appears to be ignored Description: ------------ session.save_path appears to be ignored even though phpinfo() shows that the correct php.ini file, and session.save_path are set. As a result a PHP warning is returned in the head of the HTML of files that call session.start() and a session dat file isn't created in session.save_path. Using IIS6, in IIS 5 isloation mode. Executing cgi.exe not the ISAPI filter. Working with a clean install of osCommerce 2.2m2. Non-session code appears to work. Permissions on the session.save_path directory are set to allow modify/read/write by the IUSR_MACHINE_NAME account. phpinfo() confirms the config file as: C:\Windows\php.ini [PHP] register_globals = On [Session] session.save_path = D:\Server\PHP4\sessiondata\ Using System Internals FileMonitor shows that php.exe is attempting to open/write to D:\tmp\?????? even when phpinfo() shows that session.save_path is set as shown above. No attempts to access session.save_path are shown. Reproduce code: --------------- function tep_session_start() { return session_start(); } Expected result: ---------------- Expect to see session data files in session.save_path, and no warnings reported. Actual result: -------------- When D:\tmp (with appropriate permissions) exists the HTML returns with no warnings in the HEAD, and a session data file is created in the directory. If D:\tmp doesn't exist, no session data file is created and warnings are returned in the HTML HEAD:- Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp\sess_fdbfaf6a09ec7734f73e7ac88dfd00be, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in D:\Inetpub\hostingRoot\domain\http\members\catalog\admin\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 67 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28724&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28724&r=float
