note 37218 added to ref.session

I'm runing Debian (Stable) GNU/Linux 3.0r1, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.3.4. I recently changed my PHP session_handler from 'files' to 'mm' in php.ini. A few days (and 10,000+ requests) worth of testing on the inhouse development server showed no problems, so the new PHP version, with the new session handler, was rolled onto our production server. Disaster! Within 12 hours some Apache children processes started SegFaulting, Apache itself went down completely within 24. Hurriedly SSHing into the production server and turning the session_handler back to 'files' stopped the crashes. I think I'll use a the new Linux 2.4 'tmpfs' filesystem and the 'files' PHP session_handler for our next server build... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37218 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37218&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37218&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
