ID: 25876 Comment by: yertletheturtle82 at yahoo dot com Reported By: golden at riscom dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: freebsd 4.8 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment:
I am running version 4.3.6 and receive this error consistently when attempting to run phprojekt. It was running with no problems previously. I am also running Drupal which uses php also, but seems to have no problems at all. Not sure why this started happening all of a sudden. Running RH9.0. It seemed to start when I was trying to re-compile PHP with IMAP support. Thanks Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-25 03:14:02] darrel at lasvegaswebhosting dot com This issue is becoming quite the thorn in my side. We are hosting about 30 sites that are having this problem with the Session_Start() Function. I was hoping that moving my clients to a new server would eliminate this issue but it did not. It is definately a PHP issue. I also don't understand why this issue/bug report was closed. It is far from resolved. Please enlighten me. Thanks, Darrel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-19 01:40:10] steve at bespokeinternet dot com We have had this problem with various sites running off the same server (Apache/1.3.29 - Unix Server). A recent upgrade to 4.3.6 has not resolved the problem. Same sites worked fine on other servers running recent versions of PHP. Error message is sporadic and disappears with one or two refreshes. With versions prior to 4.3.6 it was necessary to restart Apache to clear the problem - that doesn't seem to be the case since the upgrade. Suggest reopening this bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-05 07:27:32] tkaeser at gmx dot net Hi, had the same error, added the following line before starting the session: ini_set('session.save_handler', 'files'); this fixed it in my case... I don't have any idea why this works, got it from http://lists.mushaake.org/pipermail/php/Week-of-Mon-20031117/004091.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-05 08:17:56] venkat at ehostpros dot com ##################################### Problem : Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module ##################################### The solution (fingers crossed) was to clear the session.save_path directory - it got thousands of session files there.
