I have a basic installation of OpenBSD 3.2, Qmail 1.03, Courier-IMAP
1.6.2, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.2.3. I have configured PHP and all seems
run. But, when I installed SquirrelMail 1.2.10 for webmail service, I
received the same error

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_7538b7739bdd44e2fb0e747f65af858d, O_RDWR)
failed: No such file or directory (2) in /htdocs/webmail/src/global.php
on line 134

and then

Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the
current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on
line 0

I think it is your same problem. I have also tried to write a simple
php file with only the row

? session_open(); ?

It returns the usual error! I hope there will be a solution as soon as
possible, I'm very sad to see all run but I can't install my Squirrel
WebMail...

my apache is running as nobody,nogroup with an assigned homedir of
/ or /tmp or /dev/null or /var.

the error still spams my logfiles, but alot less cause i have migrated
over to java/jsp. seems like the only way to fix this is to redruce
traffic.

ALL READ THIS PLEASE !!! SOLUTION TO
Failed to write session data
(files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path
is
correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

In this case an many other, working with Linux or FreeBSD, remember
that applications are users too. I am not an expert on this OS, but I
know something. When a user does not have a home directory, he can not
do a lot of things, among them is to execute many commands (why? do not
ask) you may check, create a user with no home dir and test. So that is
the problem with mysql and www, (PHP is working as www because apache),
SO, assign a home dir to www and you will see the error no more. The
same may happen with some mysql change settings. Thanks.

Hello, had the same error on a low-traffice development server (one
processor) with pretty standart php (4.2.3) + apache (1.3.26) set-up. I
noticed that I forgot the SID on one page and that somehow messed up
the session and created the error on all pages that tried to access
this same session. After I put the missing SID in, everything worked
fine...

You can work around this bug by changing the session saver to mm
(without the quotes).

There are no known solutions to this problem that I can see out there.
The only people with solutions are the windows people who didn't change
the php.ini file to have a windows path in it. FOr the Linux people,
this may well be a library compatibility problem, which is the best
guess so far but is probably wrong!

Okay, I think I solved this bug for me at least.

I would receive this error:

Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current
setting of session.save_path is correct (c:\windows\temp) in Unknown on
line 0

and I finally tracked it down to being I was sometimes setting the
session_id(); to blank, aka, to nothing. That would cause it to fail.
I still think this is a bug, because you shouldn't be able to break it
by setting it to nothing.

The reason I was unable to track this down quicker was because I had no
idea I was passing a blank variable to the session_id. So I looked into
that, and it turns out PHP fails to delete cookies.

I think their is a bug with the delete cookie functions...you might
want to check into that. To solve this, instead of deleting the
cookies, I just set them to -1, and then checked if they were -1, and
if so, treated them as if they weren't there.

I hope this helps,
Nate
