/var/log/apache2/error.log: [Wed Aug 18 13:17:39 2010] [error] [client
192.168.0.103] PHP Notice: session_start(): ps_files_cleanup_dir:
opendir(/var/lib/php5) failed: Permission denied (13) in /var/www/a.php
on line 1
This seems to be a regression introduced by upstream packagers. php.ini
used to have session.gc_probability=0 with the comment "This is disabled
in the Debian packages, due to the strict permissions on /var/lib/php5".
The strict permissions remain, but session.gc_probability is now
enabled.
By default there's a 0.1% chance that a call to session_start() will
trigger this, but setting session.gc_divisor=1 makes this easily
reproducible.
The problem was originally spotted by a developer colleague, who
referenced this blog entry: http://somethingemporium.com/2007/06
