default Debian Stable aka Sarge php configuration stores session information in /var/lib/php4 and not in /tmp
you can delete old session files. If you have deleted active session files - restart apache. if you use SquirrelMail 1.4.3 or older or Japanese translation and you have enabled mbstring.func_overload in php 4.2 or newer - reset this php setting to default value. If some script needs it, enable it only for this script. check your server logs. they must log all connections to web and imap servers. they can also contain errors that explain session problems. -- Tomas > Hi Thomas, > > I don't know which directories exactly are involved here, but the /tmp > directory is: > > drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Sep 23 17:51 tmp > > which should be ok isn't it? > > When I try to log in I get immediately: 'ERROR, You must be logged in to > access this page.' > If I click then 'Go to the login page' there appears a php code in the > URL, > example > > http://webmail.mirkonet.nl/src/login.php?PHPSESSID=bf171c11d4759a0a454edc5d9af15bd9 > > And with this code-name there appears a file in the /tmp directory: > > lada:/tmp# less sess_bf171c11d4759a0a454edc5d9af15bd9 > base_uri|s:1:"/";onetimepad|s:8:"ypPwuWy8"; > sess_bf171c11d4759a0a454edc5d9af15bd9 (END) > > Does this tell me anything perhaps? > > Thanks so far. > > Greetins, > Mirko Carton > > >>From: Christopher Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To: Mirko Carton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Subject: Re: [SM-USERS] Problem to log in with all users via squirrelmail >>after reboot debbian machine >>Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 08:34:32 -0700 >> >>Have you checked the permissions on /tmp, as well as other directories >>where PHP might write session information to? >> >>Mirko Carton wrote: >> >> > Hello Tomas, >> > >> > I have checked all your suggestions, unfortunately still without >> succes. >> > However I do remember now that I have deleted all files in the /tmp >> > directory. >> > I was under the impression that these files (ie >> > sess_7d67d0ea700f12e29f54227.......) >> > could become removed.
