Issues with session files and fork/exec/popen (Fw: Bug #16548)

Hey, does anyone out there know what could be causing this problem? It looks like the fd for the session file is kept open when the process is forked/exec'ed, and that in turn (somehow?) keeps the apache socket for port 80 open, preventing further http requests from being processed. Could this be solved by setting the close-on-exec flag of the session file descriptor? It a really strange problem, I just wondered if anyone had heard of this before, or has a solution! --Wez. > ID: 16548 > Bug Type: Apache related > Operating System: RED HAT Linux 7.2 > PHP Version: 4.1.2 > New Comment: > > Now it's 100% true: > Without session.auto_start = 0 it works also with apache with php > compiled. > > So i can't use session variables. > Has anybody interest to solve the problem ? > I know not much from C. > > On which side is the error ?
