ID: 16263 Comment by: sven dot holcombe at gmail dot com Reported By: kur at natur dot cuni dot cz Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: ANY PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment:
Running on default XAMPP installation, with the session.save_path = "C:\xampplite\tmp" When I set the apache document root to be: <Directory "C:/xampplite/htdocs"> And then run a file with contents: <?PHP session_start(); ?> There is a session file created. Ie, normal operation. When I set the apache document root to be: <Directory "S:/htdocs"> And then run THE SAME file with contents: <?PHP session_start(); ?> A 0KB session file is created. Ie, it is empty, and I cannot access session variables. Please help.

Is anyone else having the problem still?? I have 2 servers, one it works fine on and the other it fails, they use the same settings, and have tried differant versions, yet it still fails on the 2nd server. Ho many people here are running it on a server with a " _ " in the computer name? that to me seems the only thing differant between the computers with my setup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-12 23:42:19] robin dot chauhan at gmail dot com As noted on http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=288773 "After 10 hours of searching over 2 days, I figured it out. The UTF-8 encoding was placing invisible characters before my <?php tag, thus throwing an error (which I couldn't see because my server host's debug doesn't show). Switching to ANSI removed those characters and thus the session_start() functioned properly this time, giving me a consistent session ID. Thanks to those who helped." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-26 10:50:29] karst at spectraweb dot nl I have apache/php configured to run as another user then "apache". I tried to install php-xml and yum updated php, setting the owner of the directory where the sessions are stored to "apache", NOT MY USER! This worked for me: to check if this was the problem I did a chmod 777 to session directory - and: it worked again I changed the owner of the session directory to my apache user, chmodded session directory to the initial 770 - and yay: it worked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-02 12:45:16] shashibanzal at hotmail dot com While running a programme as a login for librarian, if the name of programme is changed in the URL, it switches to the pgm entered now and the borrower can perform all functions of librarian. This is not correct. Session start has been used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
