Hi, I tried to reproduce (thanks for the detailed steps), but there seems to be a bit missing. Obviously with handler set to files it is working. When switching to memcache as instructed I get: PHP Warning: session_start(): Cannot find save handler 'memcache' - session startup failed in /root/session.php on line 2
Not good, but also not your case with the OOM. Memcached is running in default mode as on a fresh install: ● memcached.service - memcached daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/memcached.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2017-02-06 10:32:51 UTC; 3min 33s ago Main PID: 24033 (memcached) CGroup: /system.slice/memcached.service └─24033 /usr/bin/memcached -m 64 -p 11211 -u memcache -l 127.0.0.1 I've thrown the php modules at it via: apt-get install php-memcache php-memcached But then I get: $ php session.php PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (memcache). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (tcp://127.0.0.1:11211,tcp://127.0.0.1:11212) in Unknown on line 0 Sorry I'm not a php/memcache expert trying to reproduce/verify your issue. Do you know the missing bits that will get my env into your state? ** Changed in: php7.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1661580 Title: Out of memory session_start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1661580/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
