-Status: Bogus
+Status: Open
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: freebsd 4.8
PHP Version: 4.3.3
New Comment:
In the ext/session/mod_files.c inside the function PS_OPEN_FUNC(files)
replace the next content:
-------------------------------------------
if ((p = strchr(save_path, ';'))) {
errno = 0;
data->dirdepth = (size_t) strtol(save_path, NULL, 10);
if (errno == ERANGE) {
efree(data);
PS_SET_MOD_DATA(0);
return FAILURE;
}
save_path = p + 1;
}
-------------------------------------------
by this one:
-------------------------------------------
if ((p = strrchr(save_path, ';'))) {
data->dirdepth = (size_t)atol(save_path);
save_path = p + 1;
}
-------------------------------------------
Compile again and try your scripts.
The problem exists from old php versions, but in 4.3.4 was added the
errno control to generate an error. Now the functionality is the
correct one and never produce abnormal errors!

I had the same problem trying to install Scout Portal Toolkit on
Solaris. Check to make sure that in your php.ini file
session.save_handler = files
That worked for me.
Good Luck

I am also experiencing this problem with Mac OS X and
Apache 1.3.27 + PHP 4.3.4.
Seems to happen randomly. I can restart Apache and it
will go away for a while, but then comes back. I have
each user using a different session save directory. I
have double checked for proper permissions.
This just started happening a couple of days ago.
Nothing had changed (that I am aware of) that would
cause this.

Apply this patch, run for awhile, then post updated logs of the error
messages.

I'm also running FreeBSD 4.8 - same problem.
My /tmp is on a separate partition, and has plenty of space... a
restart (even a graceful one) seems to fix the problem.
As a temp fix, I heard someone say that the sites they had using custom
session storage handlers did NOT exhibit the problem, so I think I may
try an auto-prepend file containing such an override on a server-wide
basis.
Any comment on this idea? Please copy my email.
Thanks.

I'm having the same problems. FreeBSD 4.8, php 4.3.4.
THIS IS GETTING VERY annoying. It quit doing it for a month, then
almost to the exact day it just started up again this morning at 1AM
and hasn't stoppd. Apache 2.0.47 as well. Restarting apache seems to do
the trick for about a minute, then it starts popping up again. I've
already had 20 customers call this morning saying they cannot place
orders and they give me the error.
I've check my apache access logs as well as the php log.
I get this error several times:
[18-Feb-2004 10:15:39] PHP Warning: Unknown(): A session is active.
You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in
Unknown on line 0
Almost always following it is this srror:
[18-Feb-2004 10:15:51] PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to
initialize storage module. in /mydir/myfile.php3 on line 2
All that is in myfile.php3 is session_start();
These errors started happening after moving to a new sever. NO PROBLEMS
in the past, was using Apache 1.3.8 I believe and PHP 4.3.0.
PHP People, WHAT ARE CAUSING THESE ERRORS????
