Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: linux (rh7.3), apache 1.3.26
PHP Version: 4.2.2
New Comment:
I too am getting similar messages - essentially where the session file
is failing to create. Unfortunately I am getting it all the time, which
is a problem as I am trying to teach myself PHP at home.
What is different for me is that I am running a Windows 2K server,
using IIS, and PHP 5.2.2.
The initial error I get at the first session_start() call is:
The description for Event ID ( 2 ) in Source ( PHP-5.2.2 ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. The following information is part of the event: php[352], PHP
Warning: session_start() [<a
href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]:
open(\tmp\sess_8t6afg6omu4au9ofqnru80l6r5, O_RDWR) failed: No such file
or directory (2) in F:\MixWeb\mdroot\php_sandpit\ch10\login.php on line
60.
The extract of my php.ini is:
[Session]
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = "0;\tmp"
session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
Having been trying to search down answers for this but so far no luck.

I have been getting the same error...
in php.ini file i have set the session.save_path to
public_html/cgi-bin/session
And the chmod of the session folder is 777
Everything looks fine technically but even if that... i get this
error.
I really need help to figure out this issue and fix it. And the hosting
company that i work with they insist on saying that it is not a server
error. But I do not understand that even if the chomod of the
session.save_path pointing to the correct folder and chmod 777, I am
getting this error.

I have been experiencing the same (or very similar) problem. One
interesting thing that I found is that sometimes I can reload page A and
see the session data happily sitting there, but on page B the data is
not there. I have both pages open in tabs in Firefox and I can go back
and forth reloading the pages. Page A always has the data, page B never
does. Both pages require the same init.php script to start the session.

I just started encountering this problem today, after having upgraded
to PHP5 from a PHP4 app. As with some of the other reports I have some
users reporting constant problems, while others have no problems at
all.
I using Linux, with session files written to /tmp. I can see that many
session files are being written, but at the same time some session calls
produce errors. I do not use any session function in my code other than
session_start()

i have the same bug, however, it seems my windows xp box with ie6.0
handles it well, possibly because of the double cookie values being
handled properly? i was using my site for a few months, wandering why
people weren't signing up, then i used my site on my living room
computer and got errors. i have windows 2k and ie5 on it. i get no
errors with netscape 7.0 or mozilla or firefox either. so, if you ask
me: i don't use the php pear rep for the same reason that I'm about to
code my own class for handling sessions. i hate managing a large code
repository of my own, but the only thing that annoys me more is not
understanding what is wrong because of some strange error.

the sessions on my system sometimes look like this:
68.217.0.206.276341084854774671
it's like the php isn't md5'ing the data or something to make the
session. i would assume that maybe php is looking for file:
/tmp/sess_68.217.0.206.276341084854774671 instead of the
/tmp/sess_md5(68.217.0.206.276341084854774671 ) or base64 or whatever
php encodes the session to. if i'm right about this, it wouldn't be
able to read the session because it's looking for another file cause
it's not encoding the session variable right... i get this in my apache
logs, which gets put in my sql database. as i log the cookies in apache
logs, i had to reformat my sql tables to store 255 chars instead of
32... i need to know how to fix this. it happens randomly and i can
only wait till it screws up so i can try to fix it... please email me if
you find a fix!!!! thanks =]
