PHP 4.0 Bug #9909 Updated: session_start() fails to write data file

ID: 9909 User Update by: shane@ethosmedia.com Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: *Session related Description: session_start() fails to write data file False alarm, sorry . . . turns out that Apache changed the way it writes temp files (I think the "child" servers now write files, rather than the parent servers) so it couldn't write to /tmp. Hmmph. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-21 23:23:20] shane@ethosmedia.com PHP 4.04pl1 compiled as a DSO Apache 1.3.19 session_start() fails to write out its data file, causing the session to not be initialized and the following error to be displayed: Warning: open(/tmp/sess_aeb08199d769529594e751c17ea3ffa7, O_RDWR) failed: m (13) in <file> on line 2 PHP does not seem to be able to write out the file anywhere; permissions on the directory are normal. PHP compiled like so: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-ftp --with-xml --enable-discard-path --with-config-file-path=/Local/Library/WebServer/Configurat ion --disable-debug --enable-track-vars This was working with an Apache 1.3.14 and an earlier version of PHP4 (sorry, can't say which but probably 4.01 or 4.02) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9909
