#34417 [Opn->Fbk]: session_start hangs up apache
ID: 34417
Updated by: sniper@php.net
Reported By: almar at koekjes dot net
-Status: Open
+Status: Feedback
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 4.4.0
New Comment:
Are you sure these things don't set the save handler to something else
in their code and really use f.e. database as session storage?
For us to get any clue what's happening, you have to:
a) Check what the session contains when session_start() hangs
b) Provide a gdb backtrace of the hanged process

All vendors are referring to this issue as a PHP related issue. This
implies the following vendors;
OScommerce
Ubimiau
Cacti
I've done a lot of research before issueing this as a bug. Especially
when the Apache load runs up to 100 %. All software bundles are hanging
on session_start();, but at random, not on specified moments,
replication can probably only be done on our system.
Please specify what you wan't me to do to make sure that this is
handled as a real bug and not as a 'end-user program error'.

Ask for support at appropriate software vendors' sites.
Feel free to reopen this report when you have a short reproduce case.
Until then -> bogus.

Installing Cacti or OsCommerce result in the errors for us.
After Cacti is installed (Default), logging in and clicking through the
website a couple of times results in the error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
/www/*/cacti-0.8.6f/include/config.php on line 89
The same error is returned for OScommerce, although it display's
another line.
There is no other way of replicating this bug. If necessary I can grant
people access to one of the systems where this happens.
Please specify if additional information is required.

We do need an information on how to reproduce it.

Description:
------------
Multiple applications (f.e. Cacti, Webmail) are sometimes having huge
problems executing session_start(). This happens in 50 % of the times.
The cpu % of Apache runs up to 100 % and the error message
"Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded" and then the line wich
says session_start();.
It does not matter if session.save_handler = files or mm. This is
Apache Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix), PHP 4.4.0 (cli).
Kernel is Linux 2.4.31.
Reproduce code:
---------------
