php individual tmp sessions not deleted

[asticot]

Hi,

On my ISPCONFIG server (running on debian 5), I have a little problem with the automatic deletion of tmp files that are in /var/www/clients/clientX/webX/tmp/

In the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file, I have :

; This is disabled in the Debian packages, due to the strict permissions
; on /var/lib/php5. Instead of setting this here, see the cronjob at
; /etc/cron.d/php5, which uses the session.gc_maxlifetime setting below.
; php scripts using their own session.save_path should make sure garbage
; collection is enabled by setting session.gc_probability
;session.gc_probability = 0
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


The cronjob /etc/cron.d/php5 runs every 30 minutes but it delete only tmp files that are in /var/lib/php5


Since all my website have a apache directive :

php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/clients/client1/web1/tmp

There are many location for tmp files. And so the problem is that all tmp files of each website are not deleted.

Do you know what to do ?
- Should I enabled "session.gc_probability = 1" in my php.ini ?
- Should I remove the session.save_path for each website ?
- Should I write a script to manually delete tmp files ?


Sincerely,
Jerome

This is a problem in php. If a custom session tmp dir is defined, php will not care about removing sessions files anymore. The best way to solve this is to write a custom script. We will add such a script in ispconfig too to fix this php problem.

OK thank you Till,

For information, here is what I am doing now manually :

In each tmp dir :
find -cmin +24 | xargs rm

This command will delete all files that were not changed for 24 minutes.

Hello,

i had this Problem twice.
If i open a session and switch from mod_php to fastcgi + suexec the problem start because www-data is the old User and the new user is web??:client??.
The user can't change the file anymore.
