ID: 43579 User updated by: assid at assid dot com Reported By: assid at assid dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Debian etch PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment:
Okay did even more testing. Apparently it has nothing to do with the postgres library, it maybe a co-incidence it happens MORE with 8.3 libraries however. What happens is when you keep going through squirrelmail, randomly clicking and random idle times (perhaps with a server load thats low-medium), it just randomly says session time out. However, what the session is not destroyed, as, once you click on any folder on the left frame, your back in. >From what I can guess is that the php session engine doesnt load the session file in time, and the script gets a session not found/expired. As this problem is random but very frequent.

So we did quite a bit of tests to get to the bottom of this. We currently have Postgres 8.2.5 and 8.3 installed on the system (we keep n-1 where n is the current system and the last server edition prior to that). - This is related, and you will understand why in just a minute. We first re downloaded the tarballs, as of today. And compiled it against pg 8.2.5. We then tried squirrelmail (configured for use with flat files, not databases or anything). Sessions work perfect. We then recompiled against 8.3, and went back to squirrelmail for the test (leave the squirrelmail active on any page, wait 3-5 minutes, randomly clicking, etc). This time we end up with session timeouts. It was a bit hard to believe thats the reason, so recompiled against 8.2.5 once again, and again this worked perfect. Thinking it could be because of pdo, we disabled postgres' pdo extension and tried again. But this didnt help either. Once again, recompiled for 8.2.5 and its still working. No other changes were done to the configuration of php.ini/squirrelmail or apache. No third party modules are added to php.ini such as ioncube eaccelerator etc. As this is a production box, we decided to keep the 8.2.5 client libraries even tho 8.3 is the server in use. The config.nice is as follows, and yes I am aware certain options have been deprecated #! /bin/sh # # Created by configure CFLAGS='-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer' \ CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/expat/' \ LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/expat/' \ './configure' \ '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' \ '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' \ '--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config' \ '--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql' \ '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' \ '--with-pdo-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql' \ '--with-zlib' \ '--with-pear' \ '--with-flatfile' \ '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' \ '--with-gd' \ '--enable-gd-native-ttf' \ '--with-ttf' \ '--with-xml' \ '--with-mhash' \ '--with-mcrypt' \ '--enable-calendar' \ '--enable-ftp' \ '--enable-wddx' \ '--with-filepro' \ '--with-bz2' \ '--with-curl' \ '--with-gettext' \ '--with-pdf' \ '--with-openssl' \ '--with-session' \ '--with-imap=/usr/src/imap-2006h' \ '--with-imap-ssl' \ '--enable-bcmath' \ '--enable-mbstring' \ '--enable-sockets' \ '--enable-track-vars' \ '--enable-trans-sid' \ '--enable-magic-quotes' \ '--enable-inline-optimization' \ "$@" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-11 03:45:29] jsnyxx at gmail dot com We've found similar problems -- see our report here: http://xcache.lighttpd.net/ticket/163 (We initially thought that it was Xcache, but that doesn't seem to be the case now). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-05 08:04:13] poil at quake dot fr I got the same issue; I have a variable $_SESSION['S_num_content'] who got reseted randomly. I have a small navigation div who is refresh by ajax. I increment or decrement the value of $_SESSION['S_num_content'] for limiting my SQL request to "x, x+10". This browsing work correctly. When choosing link in this menu for displaying the news (not ajax, full webpage refresh), sometime session is lost value (1 clic of 5). If I navigate very slowly, the session is less lost (1 clic of 10 or 20) My english isn't very good for explain it; I go to try to create a small parts of code who do the same things. You can see it on http://www.teewars.net Clic on "<< Précédent" one time, Select an article in the same menu sometime the list of menu stay where it should be sometime not. Before changing to php 5.2.5 I don't have this issue. I was in php 4.x before my webhoster upgrade my hosting.
