Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Feedback
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: Debian Sid
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I found the problem using strace. I had
'session.save_path' set to '/dev/null'.
Why does 4.1.2 not handle this gracefully like 4.0.5, and is there any
way to get a more helpful error message in this case?
In case you're interested in the exact errors, I've included the errors
from the strace below:
unlink("/dev/null/session_mm_apache0.sem") = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a
directory)
open("/dev/null/session_mm_apache0.sem", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600) = -1
ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
unlink("/dev/null/session_mm_apache0.sem") = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a
directory)

An other alternative would be to use use 'strace' on the apache process
(make sure you start apache with -X switch), maybe you can gather where
it has failed, e.g.
strace -e trace=file -o output /usr/sbin/apache -X
and see in file 'output' what fails.

Can you try a snapshot from snaps.php.net? It might be fixed, if not we
need feedback on that branch anyways.

I'm seeing this problem on Slackware 8.0, when upgrading
from the original mod_php.tgz package (PHP 4.0.5) to the
updated version (PHP 4.1.2).
I already checked, there is no 'session_mm.sem' file to
remove (stopping apache automatically removes the file).
So my question is, what is going on, and how do I fix it?

So it's not a bug in PHP. Thanks & Closing...

Hello there,
Every time I when I upgrade my Debian-install I get errors with
php4-cgi. When it is invoked, php4-cgi says "PHP Fatal error: Unable
to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0".
I posted a message, and Peter Cech helped me out: rm
/etc/session_mm.sem did the job.
Cheers y'all
pla.
