Hi, I know this problem refers to FreeBSD minor to version 5.x and PHP minor to
version 5.x, but I want you guys to know that I solved this problem on FreeBSD
8.0 Release by uncommenting in your php.ini file:
session.save_path = "/tmp"

I still have this problem, when i use php5.3.6 and phpmyadmin3.4.3.1.
And i have changed the php.ini session.save_path configuration to "/tmp"
.

If you are gettin the following error:
"Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files
(path: ) in...."
Make sure that you have setup the session save path in your php.ini:
session.save_path = "/tmp"
which seems to be disabled by default.

I have the same problem:
"Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files
(path: ) in...."
and i've put this line:
ini_set("session.save_handler", "files");
and nothing happens.
i'm using IIS 6.0 and PHP 5.2.11

I use DB for sessions, and had the problem with session_destory (followed by
session_start) as well.
I had this code in a prepend-db file:
$GLOBALS["mysql_session_handler"] = new mysql_session_handler;
session_set_save_handler(
array($GLOBALS["mysql_session_handler"],'mysql_session_open'),
array($GLOBALS["mysql_session_handler"],'mysql_session_close'),
array($GLOBALS["mysql_session_handler"],'mysql_session_read'),
array($GLOBALS["mysql_session_handler"],'mysql_session_write'),
array($GLOBALS["mysql_session_handler"],'mysql_session_destroy'),
array($GLOBALS["mysql_session_handler"],'mysql_session_gc')
);
=====
So instead, I put that inside the class as a static function (the in the
prepend, called that static function, mysql_session_handler::setHandler();) ,
then called it again after session destroy. i.e.
session_destroy();
mysql_session_handler::setHandler();
Problem sovled - well, it's not, session_destroy should not destroy the save
handler
