I recently upgraded to apache 2.0 from 1.23.x on my server. Previously,
I had sessions working using the database to store session information.
I recently noticed that this is no longer working as it did. The
sessions are still working, however, the session information is not
being transfered via the url. I have verified that everything is setup
correctly.
I have a development server setup with the same settings before I
upgraded apache and it is working fine. The only difference is the
version of Apache.
Does anyone know of a fix for this? Did I set something up wrong? Below
is a copy of the sessions section from my php.ini file.
Thanks
Chris
ps....The settings and instructions I used were obtained from the Web
Database Applications book from O'reilly.
[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
#session.save_handler = files
session.save_handler = user
; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the
path
; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change
this
; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
; As of PHP 4.0.1, you can define the path as:
; session.save_path = "N;/path"
; where N is an integer. Instead of storing all the session files in
; /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and
; store the session data in those directories. This is useful if you
; or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and
is
; a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions.
; NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically.
; You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that
purpose.
; NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose
to
; use subdirectories for session storage
#session.save_path = /tmp
session.save_path = mdas_users
; Whether to use cookies.
#session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_cookies = 0
; This option enables administrators to make their users invulnerable
to
; attacks which involve passing session ids in URLs; defaults to 0.
; session.use_only_cookies = 1
; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
#session.name = PHPSESSID
session.name = USID
; Initialize session on request startup.
session.auto_start = 0
; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
; The path for which the cookie is valid.
session.cookie_path = /
; The domain for which the cookie is valid.
session.cookie_domain =
; Handler used to serialize data. php is the standard serializer of
PHP.
session.serialize_handler = php
; Define the probability that the 'garbage collection' process is
started
; on every session initialization.
; The probability is calculated by using gc_probability/gc_divisor,
; e.g. 1/100 means there is a 1% chance that the GC process starts
; on each request.
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 100
; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage'
and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
; NOTE: If you are using the subdirectory option for storing session
files
; (see session.save_path above), then garbage collection does
*not*
; happen automatically. You will need to do your own garbage
; collection through a shell script, cron entry, or some other
method.
; For example, the following script would is the equivalent of
; setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 1440 (1440 seconds = 24
minutes):
; cd /path/to/sessions; find -cmin +24 | xargs rm
; PHP 4.2 and less have an undocumented feature/bug that allows you
to
; to initialize a session variable in the global scope, albeit
register_globals
; is disabled. PHP 4.3 and later will warn you, if this feature is
used.
; You can disable the feature and the warning seperately. At this
time,
; the warning is only displayed, if bug_compat_42 is enabled.
session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1
; Check HTTP Referer to invalidate externally stored URLs containing
ids.
; HTTP_REFERER has to contain this substring for the session to be
; considered as valid.
session.referer_check =
; How many bytes to read from the file.
session.entropy_length = 0
; Specified here to create the session id.
session.entropy_file =
;session.entropy_length = 16
;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
; Set to {nocache,private,public,} to determine HTTP caching aspects
; or leave this empty to avoid sending anti-caching headers.
session.cache_limiter = nocache
; Document expires after n minutes.
#session.cache_expire = 180
session.cache_expire = 60
; trans sid support is disabled by default.
; Use of trans sid may risk your users security.
; Use this option with caution.
; - User may send URL contains active session ID
; to other person via. email/irc/etc.
; - URL that contains active session ID may be stored
; in publically accessible computer.
; - User may access your site with the same session ID
; always using URL stored in browser's history or bookmarks.
session.use_trans_sid = 0
; The URL rewriter will look for URLs in a defined set of HTML tags.
; form/fieldset are special; if you include them here, the rewriter
will
; add a hidden <input> field with the info which is otherwise
appended
; to URLs. If you want XHTML conformity, remove the form entry.
; Note that all valid entries require a "=", even if no value
follows.
url_rewriter.tags =
"a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="
