#28856 [NEW]: session_start() causes apache process to hang

From: pubnelle at megaphone dot ch Operating system: Mac OS X server 10.3.4 PHP version: 4.3.6 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session_start() causes apache process to hang Description: ------------ session_start() causes apache process to hang when a call is made, via http include, to another php script which stores the session files at the same location. It create an http get error in the log files eventually - I had a hard time to find the problem... I upgraded the version of PHP from 4.3.1 built in OS X server to 4.3.6, same problem. I upgraded Apache from 1.3.28 built in OS X server to 1.3.31, same problem. We really need this, to link a shop to a content management system, using the same session information to follow up the caddie stuff ... It helps to use the workaround of bug #22526, to close the session, but is this really the only solution ? this is painfull ... Reproduce code: --------------- <? session_start(); $urltoinclude="http://localhost/index.php"; include("$cmsurl/index.php?" . session_name() . "=" . session_id()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The file included ;-) To reproduce it, you need to put this code in a page that registers the sessions at the same location than the included URL. Actual result: -------------- White page hanging ... something appearing eventually (without the include) after some time, exactly 2 minutes. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28856&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28856&r=float
