ID: 19022 Comment by: oliver at realnet dot org Reported By: phpbugs at mx4k dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: linux (rh7.3), apache 1.3.26 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment:
I was having the same problem, failed to write session data files, check your save path error. Worked fine in Netscape 7.1, but not in IE 6. I deleted my cookies, cleared history, deleted internet files, and rebooted. It worked like a charm after that. I don't know how that would affect it, but that's all I did... and like I say, it always worked, everytime in Netscape 7.1.

I can't seem to get rid of it. Tried all of the solutions presented on this site save from installing windows on my machine. I'm gonna try to recreate this bug on my laptop at work (winxp). See what happens there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-04 13:01:04] rajiv at rajivlodha dot cjb dot net continued from above - here is the change i made to php.ini [Session] ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. ;session.save_handler = files // old session.save_handler = %TMP% %TMP% is the default path for temporary storage on windows. thanks rajiv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-04 12:58:29] rajiv at rajivlodha dot cjb dot net Hello guys, i was also having the same problem, on a PIII~933Mhz,Windows .NET Server, i changed my php.ini, and its now working fine. -- Original/Default -- [Session] ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. session.save_handler = Files ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-28 00:01:22] leiflists at tanukisoftware dot com I was getting this error 100% of the time on a Debian installation running PHP 4.1.2, with the following simple page: <? session_start(); phpinfo(); ?> It turns out that my php.ini file contained the following setting: ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. ;session.save_handler = files session.save_handler = user Changing this to: ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. session.save_handler = files ;session.save_handler = user fixed the problem. Not a PHP expert, so this may be obvious. Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-27 21:01:38] alexbodn at 012 dot net dot il it's me again. i must mention that the problem occured to me on the index.php page, where i was calling session_id() after session_start(). (here is the place the id should be created for the first time). it didn't appear on pages that call session_id($_GET[$_SESSION[session_name()]]) before session_start(). thanks again, alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
