while i was working on joomla admin module i got this error: Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in /var/www/html/workspace/joomla/administrator/index2.php on line 34 as suggested by may forum i have changed session.save_handler in php.ini to files. but error is still there........is there any concrete solution for this problem Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-02 13:11:04] ts at dreamcoder dot dk Without knowing about the code side of it, this bug reminds me of the php_value leak there was amoung virtualhosts in apache once - where the php_value_* from one virtualhost was leaked in to another. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-30 16:11:13] support3 at futurahost dot com Hello We "solved" it by adding an auto_prepend file to every .php executed on our servers: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ cat php.ini.prepend <? session_module_name("files"); ?> [EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ grep auto_prepend_file php.ini auto_prepend_file = /usr/local/lib/php.ini.prepend [EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ Anyway, we are very concerned about php developers completely ignoring this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-30 20:32:42] dan at nitro dot com I was experiencing this problem on my server, and have managed to make it go away after reading comments in this post and experimenting a bit. details: original setup: /var/lib/php/session owner root:apache permissions: 770 test script from gul_murjani at yahoo dot com would fail after between 1 and 30 or so counts modified permissions on directory to: owner apache:apache permissions 700 test script ran on five client computers to over 10,000 cycles without failing. this fix is strange though as I have since changed the permissions back to the origial setup: owner root:apache permissions: 770 and the script has run without failing - no more errors - even after another thousands of cycles. strange but true! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-08 01:42:04] info at ruudgoedhart dot nl I'm experiencing the same problem, strange enough NOTHING i tried so far has solved it. I tried: Recompiling PHP Downgrading PHP Reinstalling Zend Upgrading Zend At a certain moment a harddrive of the server with this error went bad, and i had to do a complete reinstall on a different drive.. Strange enough.. the SAME error occured, while I have different servers with identical hardware and settings which run just fine.. without errors. Is it possible this error has somehow got anything to do with hardware? bad memory or something? I simply find it too strange that i'm only experiencing this error on 1 of the 8 machines, and that even a COMPLETE re-install didn't work. I'm using FC3 with Cpanel PHP 4.4.0 with Zend Optimizer 2.5.10a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-26 07:11:32] smbukas at gmail dot com I have this problem too and adding the the code with setting "session.save_handler", "session.save_path", "session.use_cookies" does not solve this problem. I use PHP Version 4.4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
