Hi, I've just installed PHP4 from woody (php4 4:4.1.1-1) under Debian 2.2r4. I found some problems and workarounds related to shared memory use. Some doubts on them :
* Problem1: apache daemon (1.3.22-5) refuses to start raising error "PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0". Workaround: on startup I added the line #echo "33554432" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax I obtained this workaround from README.Debian included with the source package. I would like to know how to tune this value and if there is cleaner way to set it. * Problem2: php4 sessions don't work in general (neither handling them in 4.0.x nor 4.1.x way). Particulary for squirrelmail which requires "register_globals = On" at php.ini. One can see the sessions being created at /tmp, PHPSESSID cookie, etc. But registering a variable sometimes override others and they cannot be accesed in the scripts anyway. Workaround: I replaced at php.ini parameter "session.save_handler" default value "files" with "mm" Is file handler not supported anymore for php4.1.1 sessions or is it a particular problem of my platform ? Is this configuration trustable ?
