In 4.3.10 with apache/linux I had this problem by simply creating my
own session_id and set this using the function session_id(). Not doing
this seemed to have helped.

Same here (PHP 4.3.10 as module on Apache 1.3.26, Redhat Linux) for
Squirrelmail:
Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: user
(path: /tmp)
"session.save_handler" is "files" by default, however "Registered save
handlers" is "files user".

FreeBSD 4.10 and PHP 4.3.10
How to reproduce:
- Running a system with about 1000 virthosts, some of the users use PHP
scripts that configure own session handlers.
- Most of the users don't configure an alternate session handler and
start their session with a simple "session_start();" statement, but
some of them do, mostly by installing some kind of forum or weblog
tool.
Users that don't set an alternate session handler or set their session
handler to "files" via ini_set in every file they open regulary get
confronted with a PHP error like:
PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module:
user (....)
Putting "ini_set ( "session.save_handler", "files" );" in every file
with a "session_start();" in it solved it for our own sites, but
doesn't go easy with all the other users affected.
For us, this started after upgrading from PHP 4.3.9 to 4.3.10. Putting
"php_value session.save_handler files"
in .htaccess files or Apache config files didn't help to fix the
problem.
Disabling all sites with "user" session handlers stopped the error from
occuring, but this is obviously not what we want.
