We are experiencing this also on 4.3.3; RH9. tmp folder is chmod 777. Our php is compiled as follows: './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--with-swf=/usr/local/flash' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-gettext' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--with-ming=../ming-0.2a' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib' Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-18 00:20:06] searchadm at goschorn dot de forgot to tell ... permissions on /tmp set to 777 session__handling is set to file after apachectl restart it works again for some days and then the problem returned ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-17 20:37:29] mitch at webcob dot com Having this problem again too. I WAS having this problem with FreeBSD 4.4 / Apache 1.3.27 / PHP 4.3.2. The problem started happening again a couple days ago... Seems to be a Heisenbug - ever time I add code to output debug info and restart apache, the problem seems to have disappeared or moved to a different website / vhost. Problem does not seem to happen on all vhosts at the same time... Just upgraded to PHP 4.3.7 The problem still persists. I have done all the recommended "fixes" - checking disk space, permissions, changing storage location, etc. Am currently working on a db based storage moduel to include on all sites experiencing the problem as in interrum fix. Please CC me on any updates. thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-17 10:18:10] searchadm at goschorn dot de PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in ...
