Hi,
Olivier Berger: > Can you elaborate a little bit on what's happening exactly (logs, > permissions of files/dirs) ? sure. The machine is running lenny, Debian kernel 2.6.24-1-686, no frills. On Monday (i.e. two days ago) I upgraded, installing the new phpgroupware: # dpkg -l | grep phpgroupware rc phpgroupware 0.9.16.012+dfsg-1 web based groupware system written in PHP ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-admin 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 phpGroupWare administration module ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-calendar 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 phpGroupWare calendar management module ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-core-base 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 Base components of the phpGroupware "applica ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-doc 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 Documentation of phpGroupware 0.9.16 ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-manual 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 phpGroupWare on-line manual module ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-phpgwapi 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 library of common phpGroupWare functions ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-preferences 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 phpGroupWare preferences management module ii phpgroupware-0.9.16-setup 1:0.9.16.012+dfsg-2 phpGroupWare setup III module (configuration files of the old phpgroupware still exist; maybe that's the source of the problem). I also tested the new installation with a test account. Everything worked just fine. Today, a colleague restarted the machine and phpgroupware stopped working: when trying to log in, the error message Your session could not be verified appeared. The corresponding apache2 error log messages looked like [Wed Apr 16 14:55:35 2008] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: open(/var/lib/phpgroupware/sessions/sess_a919fffee984f34236ae320f3bc67123, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /usr/share/phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/class.sessions_php4.inc.php on line 44, referer: https://our.phpgroupware.host/phpgroupware/login.php [Wed Apr 16 14:55:35 2008] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/phpgroupware/sessions) in Unknown on line 0, referer: https://our.phpgroupware.host/phpgroupware/login.php I checked the BTS and found #327249. Doing a chmod -R www-data.www-data /var/lib/phpgroupware immediately solved the problem, so I marked the bug as found. Previous permissions were root.root.
