I also have this problem. I also get 2 other error-messages: [Mon Feb 24 16:26:31 2003] [error] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='http://www.php.net/function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: The session id contains illegal characters, valid characters are only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 in /var/www/html/page.php on line 61 [Mon Feb 24 16:26:33 2003] [error] PHP Warning: Unknown(): The session id contains illegal characters, valid characters are only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 in Unknown on line 0 It's seams to me that the sessions works, but I get this strang error message. The only thing a do is to run start_session(); I use PHP 4.3.1 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-08 10:34:09] ccollins at totsp dot com space on /tmp is not an issue, there is 25GB avail on that partition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-08 09:33:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it possible that you may running out of space in /tmp? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-07 20:40:14] ccollins at totsp dot com I have very frequent errors in my logfiles concerning the session data. "[07-Jan-2003 18:46:30] PHP Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp/php_sess) in Unknown on line 0" Users are sometimes reporting a problem where sessions are not maintained but this is apparently *usually* transparent to the users and it is not often noticed. The obvious things are in place, there IS a directory /tmp/php_sess and it is owned by the webserver user. I am using PHP 4.3.0 in safe_mode, as such: session.save_handler = files session.save_path = /tmp/php_sess session.use_cookies = On session.name = PHPSESSID session.auto_start = 0 session.cookie_lifetime = 0 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = On session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.entropy_length = 0 session.cache_limiter = nocache session.cache_expire = 180 session.use_trans_sid = On I have apparently had this problem for quite some time dating back to 4.2.x. Please advise if there is anything I can try or do? I have read through the other similar bug reports that do exist but they all refer to version 4.2.3 and earlier and say the issue is solved in "later version" or "snapshot". Is this still a known issue in 4.3.0? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21503&edit=1
