( 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28669&edit=1
