I have to downgrade to 5.2.4, as this is a production box. Please let me know when you are available, and I will load the necessary module at that moment. I am also available on IRC / freenode as Assid Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-25 13:12:46] assid at assid dot com With regards to session files and squirrelmail I checked the part that you told me. The headers look exactly the same. Sometimes I get the session kicking me out. The headers during which, looks exactly the same as the ones when it doesnt kick me out. However, sometimes i just rightclick in that frame and reload frame and it works, or i click on any of the available imap folders on the left side. During the time it kicks me out, the session file still exists, would explain WHY i can still continue using AFTER that. from my previous test and this into consideration, i would GUESS its something to do with session generation / session file handling or something related to this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-25 08:30:07] assid at assid dot com okay here you go, 5 hours of sleep helped a bit. http://spherelinx.com/session.php Now refresh this slowly (i mean one F5 per second or 2 seconds), till you hit something like 8-10. Now press F5 rapidly (dont hold), like 5-8 times. You end up with a new counter. Refresh this counter slowly, and again repeat the above step. Sometimes you get it to go back to the older counter. reproduce code: http://spherelinx.com/session.phps phpinfo - http://spherelinx.com/phpinfo.php >From my guess, session_name fails or causes some kind of glitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-25 01:28:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many people, including myself, are running SquirrelMail quite fine on 5.2.5 without any sort of session problems. The fact that it also happens in other applications points to a general problem on your end. Sessions are really simple. There are 3 parts to an active session. 1. Your browser sends a session cookie 2. The PHP script that receives the cookie calls session_start() 3. session_start() reads the session data from the session data So, to debug this, look at each part. Install something like the LiveHTTPHeaders Firefox extension and make sure the cookie is being sent. Second, make sure there is a session_start() call in the receiving code. And third, check to make sure that the session data is in the session data store. If you are using the file-based session store, match the session cookie to the session filename and watch it as you click around. Does it suddenly disappear? If so, figure out why. Also check all your session.* settings and if you have multiple servers behind any sort of load balancer, a per-server file-based session store obviously won't work. NFS-based stuff can also cause problems for a file-based session store. You can also write your own very simple trivial session test to verify that sessions are working at all on your setup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-24 20:23:25] assid at assid dot com The problem is I didnt make squirrelmail. So i am not sure of what i can provide as the reproducable script. I am using the current stable release. I wanted to give something else to my users in the meantime, so i tried horde, and well, that seems to have session timeout issues as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-24 20:10:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please provide a short reproducing script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
