PHP 4.0 Bug #5608: Session management not working on HPUX

From: dmarkwit@dsrnet.com Operating system: HP-UX PHP version: 4.0 Release Candidate 2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Session management not working on HPUX This script, generates an error in the php log file session_start(); The error says: PHP Warning: Failed to write session data. Please check that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp/) in Unknown on line 0 The same code with the same version of apache/php works fine on Linux. I simply copied the code over. Here's the session section in php.ini; it's the same on both machines. [Session] session.save_handler = files ; handler used to store/retrieve data session.save_path = /tmp ; argument passed to save_handler ; in the case of files, this is the ; path where data files are stored session.use_cookies = 1 ; whether to use cookies session.name = PHPSESSID ; name of the session ; is used as cookie name session.auto_start = 0 ; initialize session on request startup session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie ; or if 0, until browser is restarted session.cookie_path = / ; the path the cookie is valid for session.cookie_domain = ; the domain the cookie is valid for session.serialize_handler = php ; handler used to serialize data ; php is the standard serializer of PHP session.gc_probability = 1 ; percentual probability that the ; 'garbage collection' process is started ; on every session initialization session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; after this number of seconds, stored ; data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the gc process session.referer_check = ; check HTTP Referer to invalidate ; externally stored URLs containing ids session.entropy_length = 0 ; how many bytes to read from the file session.entropy_file = ; specified here to create the session id ; session.entropy_length = 16 ; session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom session.cache_limiter = nocache ; set to {nocache,private,public} to ; determine HTTP caching aspects session.cache_expire = 180 ; document expires after n minutes Here's my compile options: ./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.12 --with-mysql --enable-track-vars --with-config-file-path=/etc --enable-trans-sid
