I have a problem getting php to create sessions. This is what I get:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(var/www2/temp/sess_63596b3c981937e00b96990fda83a90e, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /var/www2/html/login.php on line 1
It fails to create the session.
The tmp directory is set to 777. login.php should've access to it.
That's the dir in php.ini. What's going on?
I examined the directory, and the session sess_63596b3c981937e00b96990fda83a90e is there. Thing is I see -rw----- in permissions.
Could that be the problem? If so, how do I fix it?
The directory /tmp in Linux has the setting drwxrwxrwt. Notice the t at the end.
This is what the other directories were lacking.
Where the t means "sticky". This is to allow session files to be read, written, and deleted only by the software that created them. That's why session wasn't working in the other directory.
