note 21285 added to ref.msession

If you have trouble connecting to the msessiond from a php-script, this might be the solution for you. msessiond (and your php-extension) both use the libphoenix.a which, among other files, is built from a file called "mutils.cpp". Open this file, and find a line saying: FILE *f = fopen("/dev/random", "rb"); (I believe it is line 506. There's only this one.) On my FreeBSD 4.5 Tiny, /dev/random seldom spits out data, so the program hangs on the next line (an fread() call). Use /dev/urandom instead, it always sends data. Change the line above to: FILE *f = fopen("/dev/urandom", "rb"); Then rebuild phoenix-lib, msessiond, and PHP. You might want to do a "make clean" to be sure the change is noted. - Carsten -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.msession.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21285 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21285 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21285
