PHP 4.04pl1 compiled as a DSO
Apache 1.3.19



session_start() fails to write out its data file, causing 
the session to not be initialized and the following error 
to be displayed:

Warning: open(/tmp/sess_aeb08199d769529594e751c17ea3ffa7, 
O_RDWR) failed: m (13) in <file> on line 2

PHP does not seem to be able to write out the file 
anywhere; permissions on the directory are normal. 

PHP compiled like so:

./configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs \ 
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-ftp \
--with-xml \
--enable-discard-path \ 
--with-config-file-path=/Local/Library/WebServer/Configurat
ion \
--disable-debug \
--enable-track-vars

This was working with an Apache 1.3.14 and an earlier 
version of PHP4 (sorry, can't say which but probably 4.01 
or 4.02)

False alarm, sorry . . . turns out that Apache changed the way it writes temp files (I think the "child" servers now write files, rather than the parent servers) so it couldn't write to /tmp. Hmmph.
