Hello,

"session_mm_apache2handler0.sem" file gets created in “/”(root) on each apache web server reboot, with the timestamp of the booting time, I suspect it has something to do with php.ini. Is there a bug, or I just need to define right path in php.ini file?

It looks like a recurrence of an old bug. Feel free to report it if you like.

I have uncomment “session.save_path” and set new path.
Now it’s gone :wink:

I don’t think that was the right setting to change. session.save_path is a directory for holding session data, whereas the stray file is a semaphore. Also the commented out setting is in fact the compiled default.

#5

This was the only working solution to uncomment and instead of ;session.save_path = “/tmp” make it session.save_path = “/var/lib/php5” this way file which got created on each reboot of apache2 is gone/moved to var/lib/php5 …

Is there a better solution?

#6

I don’t think it’s critical to put that file in the right directory, but I’m curious why one setting should affect another, which AFAICT is unrelated.

#7

Is there anyone else who is having same problem/bug?
