I ran into a problem with sessions on sourceforge, which uses load balancing. What's probably happening for you is that each server is looking in it's own /tmp directory for the sessions. So, a user logs on from a page on Server A, which creates a good session file on Server A for the user. Now, the next request goes to Server B. It doesn't have a session file to load, but it sees a session_start() in the code, so it creates an empty session file.
I'm surprised your sessions are even working. A solution would be to have all four servers share a common folder to write session data to. I don't know how possible/easy that is, though... ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 10:40 AM Subject: [PHP] 0 byte session files. > Hello, > > I run a site that operates across 4 load balanaced servers and we seem to be > getting a problem where session files are created with 0 bytes (contain no > data) on 2 of the 4 servers.
