I can basically rip, with a few alterations, the "expected/actual" results from bug 25876: Expected result: ---------------- not to see this message in logs, see the page expected Actual result: -------------- [client 62.169.69.5] PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /var/www/htdocs/mail/functions/global.php on line 295, referer: https://www.dehumanizer.com/mail/src/webmail.php and we get just a blank page instead of seeing of what actually expected. Refreshing, or going back then clicking again, usually works. I can copy my php.ini and the results of "make test" and phpinfo() and post them here, but it may be too big. Is it OK?

I'm using FreeBSD 4.9 (and 4.8-STABLE before), Apache 2.0.48 from ports (and 2.0.47 before), and tried several PHP versions from 4.3.2 to 4CVS-20031030 (today's). All of them exhibit this problem, with SquirrelMail 1.4.2. I don't think it's a SquirrelMail problem, however, as the line in question is a simple session_start(); The problem is intermitent - when navigating through the webmail, from time to time, when I click on a link, a blank page appears *very quickly*, just in the frame which was supposed to be changed. In the logs, I get this error: [client 62.169.69.5] PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /var/www/htdocs/mail/functions/global.php on line 295, referer: https://www.dehumanizer.com/mail/src/webmail.php If I reload the page, or go back from the blank page and click on the same link again, it usually works then. The error rate is hard to calculate, but it should be less than 1 in 10 times. I've tried changing the sessions handler between files and mm, but it doesn't solve the problem. Neither does activating register_globals, which SquirrelMail doesn't need, anyway. PHP configure options: ./configure --disable-cgi --with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs --with-openssl --with-zlib --with-gdbm --with-imap --with-iconv --enable-ftp --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-curl --disable-debug --enable-exif --enable-sockets --disable-ipv6 --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir --enable-dio --with-gettext=/usr/local --with-bz2 --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex --enable-zend-multibyte --with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock --with-mm=/usr/local ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26038&edit=1
