I'm developing a search engine dedicated to travel and I am using Linux+Apache+PHP4. I've got the same problem this morning while testing some new code on my computer. I'm working with Apache-1.3.12 (+modssl+PHP4.0.1pl0) with rotatelog _disabled_ but I still have the problem. Files in the /tmp dir are empty and zero length, so I can't get no information from the session of the user. I don't think that the problem is in the rotatelogs feature of Apache. This is a real problem for me because I use session for storing all the information typed in by Tour Operators before storing them in a PostgreSQL database. Can anyone help?
