Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: linux (rh7.3), apache 1.3.26
PHP Version: 4.2.2
New Comment:
For the people not experiencing the "failed to write session data"
error but those of you that do experience the 'random lose of session
data' here a possible solution:
Check if your script uses cookies AND sessions in one script.
Comment all the 'setcookie' lines and all other cookie functions in
your script and check if your problem still exists...
It solved the problem ("dissapearing sessions causing users to log
out") for me.

(/tmp/sess_7538b7739bdd44e2fb0e747f65af858d, O_RDWR) is this a problem
??? NO
create a tmp folder in your SERVER ROOT like /var/www/tmp
and it will work fine
php.ini means not the / php means the WebServer Root

Scratch my last post. The problem is back again. I'm having this
issue with PHP 4.2.3 and apache 1.3.27 with SSL. I do have luck when
restarting apache sometimes. I'm not 100% positive, but it often fixes
itself after I restart my normal apache NOT my apache-ssl which is
running my webmail site (horde) that breaks due to this bug.
For the record, I also have 2 CPUs since that seems to be a common
trend. The load is very low.

I am also having this problem, FreeBSD 4.6.2 with
Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_throttle/3.1.2 mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a PHP/4.2.3
Using SquirrelMail 1.4.0 I get the usual:
Failed to write session data
(files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path
is
correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
My box has multiple CPUs.

I have had this problem for a long time.
Thanks to the individual that mentioned the /var/www/tmp directory. I
did not change the permissions of the directory, I simply got rid of it
and the problem went away.
I used to have a /var/www/tmp from testing in the past. So I just
deleted it and the problem is solved.
PHP developers: Any reason why this would mess up PHP sessions?

I was having similar problems. It seems to be related to the require()
statement.
I solved this putting the seesion_start() statement outside the
included script (e.g. if I have require("auth.php") I put
session_start() issue outside auth.php.
At least It works in my particular case. You can test it and see if it
works for you too.
Please post your results. I
