PHP session created with 000 mod

[Cloud]

Hi all,

For several days, I get all these with my server that run Debian Etch, MySQL 5.0.32, PHP 5.2.0, Apache 2.2.3
- All my application using session module give an error "Could not verify session" when try to login through the login page (it was ok before)
- I checked the session files created when user login and their mod is 000
- Most of the session file size is 0 (nothing inside)
- I tried to restart Apache but it doesn't work, system restart can solve the problem but it happens again after a few weeks.

Have you ever got these kinds of errors before?

All your ideas/assistant will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

One more thing, the unused session files is not deleted automatically
I've got a very long list of session files even thought they're not used anymore
That cause some application can't login (for example phpmyadmin )

Where are the session files stored? Is it /tmp? What's the output of

ls -la /tmp

?

I put all the session file in /var/php_session/ (manually created)
Before it was in /var/lib/php5/session/ (by default) but after got this pb, I tried to change the location

Here is some result of the following command

myserver:~# ls -la /var/php_session |more
total 760
drwxrwxrwx  2 root     root     405504 2007-11-12 04:37 .
drwxrwxrwx 19 root     root       4096 2007-11-03 13:29 ..

As you can see in the result, almost the session created is zero size

And this is the error I got with phpmyadmin when trying to access it

Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time.

Even restarting the server, it doesn't solve this pb with phpmyadmin

Do you have any idea?

Hi all,

The problem was solved, in fact it was wrong of umask in /root/.bashrc
