Hi Cristiano, According to the PHP manual, http://php.net/manual/en/function.session- id.php
"Depending on the session handler, not all characters are allowed within the session id. For example, the file session handler only allows characters in the range a-z A-Z 0-9 , (comma) and - (minus)!" So it sounds like we should allow more characters for the session paths. Looking at http://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.sid- length it seems that a few new options were introduced in PHP 7.1 Currently our session bits_per_character is set to handle the option '4' We will need to expand this so it handles option '5', and '6' as well Cheers Robert ** Changed in: mahara Milestone: None => 17.10.0 ** Changed in: mahara Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: mahara Assignee: (unassigned) => Robert Lyon (robertl-9) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

At the same time I did an upgrade to from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and to php 7.1. Suddenly users where not able to login, I checked the error log and I found this: 2017/03/07 11:01:35 [error] 19414#19414: *100640 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: [WAR] 72 (auth/session.php:457) session_regenerate_id(): open(/data/maharadata/sessions/8/e/h/sess_8ehlbf3hbll0tjjiatl25d69i7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) I checked the session store structure and just directories between 0 and f where there. I had to create the whole structure with all subdirectories from 0 to z. I don't know if the session format comes form php 7.1 or from mahara, anyway the folder structure should be created accordingly to accomodate this format.
