ID: 25876 Comment by: c dot i dot morris at durham dot ac dot uk Reported By: golden at riscom dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: freebsd 4.8 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment:
We're also getting this bug. Apache 1.3.27 PHP 4.3.2 Solaris 8 (rather than BSD) as the OS It happens intermittently, reloading the page _usually_ clears it. Different users report different things. I've never been able to duplicate it on my browsers (tested IE and Mozilla, no difference), a colleague gets it occasionally, users reporting the problem to us get it one time in three in the worst cases. /tmp is writeable and has a huge amount of free space. Multiple users have reported the problem to us, the minimal code sample already reported is the only common part. We are attempting to find if there is anything special about the requests that trigger it, but so far nothing - will update if we find anything.

Any ideas or clues would be greatly appreciated. Refreshing the page always works but still, this is so very annoying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-04 14:04:44] mbvt at xs4all dot nl Just going to say 'Me too!' :-) So, please take it off Bogus... Fatal error: session_start() [function.session-start]: Failed to initialize session module in [Gallery 1.4.2RC2] on line 60 Not exactly the same, but close enough, I guess. I have this problem *all* the time, so not intermittendly. However, some other PHP applications do work correctly.
