strange - I face this problem about week after upgrading to php.4.3.10 (apache 1.3.33, rh.es.3). first few days without any error ... meanwhile no updates, tripwire shows no changes in any system files... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-27 16:39:49] onno at triptic dot nl Didn't look at this thread well enough the first time also: ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files'); seemed to have solved all of my problems. it's still a major bug though. thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-27 16:09:31] onno at triptic dot nl I should probably mention that more sites use this machine, and I don't know in which way they are using sessions that might give conflicts or something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-27 16:03:04] onno at triptic dot nl Yeah I know, error didn't appear for more than half an hout, not so long ago. I quitely hoped it wasn't there anymore until it popped up again. I assure you it has produced the following error several times: Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp) in /usr/www/users/jtag/test.php on line 2 It usually happens a lot of times in a row and in the complete website as well, so I guess it's a server-state which triggers it. Probably when more users browse the site, unfortenately I can't tell you when this happens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-27 15:51:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tried many times: no errors/warnings etc. Works just fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-27 15:49:11] mstuhu at web dot de I think a comment above sounds most plausible to me: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25876#c84131 > Please, provide a short but complete reproduce script. I guess you'd have to ensure that session.save_handler is set to "user" by another HTTP child right in the moment before PHP execute another script with session.save_handler being not set or set to file. It was almost impossible for me to constantly reproduce this on my shared hosting environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
