I'm using 4.0.6. I believe session handling was added as part of standard
4.x, right (if configured to compile it)?
Some more info: I tried with Konqueror, as I know a cookie needs to be sent
during the session_start() phase - I did get a dialog pop-up asking if I
wanted to accept the cookie, but I still got the error:
Fatal error: Failed to initialize session module in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/sesstest.php on line 2
It says line 2 because I deleted some white space and commented out
code thas was before session_start().
I set logging errors on, and sent it to syslog. Here's what it says:
Dec 29 12:12:57 free httpd: PHP Fatal error: Failed to initialize session
module in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/sesstest.php on line 2
Dec 29 12:12:57 free httpd: PHP Warning: Failed to write session data
(user). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is
correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
But /tmp exists, and is world writeable:
free# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 16 root wheel 1024 Dec 29 12:14 /tmp
