session_start problem...

Hi. I'm very new to PHP so this may be a dumb question, but I'm stuck.
I have just compiled and installed the latest and the greatest
versions of Apache (2.0.48), PHP (4.3.3) and MySQL (4.0.15) on a Redhat 9 box.
The web and MySQL server runs fine, but I have problem with PHP. I have a small
php testapplication taken from a MySQL book that accesses a small database.
When I point my browser to the php script, I get the following error :

"Fatal error. session_start() . Failed to initialize storage module in
'my script' line 29. Line 29 in the script calls session_start.

I have a phpinfo script in my documentroot on the webserver and if I run it
everything looks hunky dory.

I have followed every instruction I could find on the php-website on how to
install php with apache V2, read all the manuals I have, but I can't figure
this out. Anyone here has any idea ?

Thanx

Hi I'm new to PHP and I'm trying to create a Login Form. Once the user has logged in then he shouldn't have to log in again. The trouble is I'm getting a new session ID between every page and so it doesn't recognise the user. I've used Session_Start() which I thought was meant to maintain the session variables between pages but it doesn't do work. Any ideas or FAQ's?

I set up a server on an AMD 650 machine running gentoo linux. I installed Apachie 2, MySQL 4.1 and PHP 4.3.11 I use another computer on my local net (192.168.0.x) to access the server as a client.

Someone please explain why Session_Start fires multiple times / retains SessionID values between sessions, when you open an ASP.NET page from MS Word. For details of the problem, see below: 1. Create a new C# ASP.NET web application named "demo" and modify Session_Start in Global.asax.cs as follows: protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write("Session_Start event fired at "+

When testing on my local machine, the session_start fires fine. I try storing a value to my database, creating a timestamped text file, and writing a line of text to a general log file. All of these work. When I transfer my site to my webhost, all of these no longer function within the session_start. All of these functions work correctly when triggered by button clicks or page redirects, the session_start simply won't fire. I have 3...

The essence of my problem is this. 1. I login to my website with user/password. 2. I select any option, which effectively re-calls index2.php with some additional parameters, to control whats displayed next. Immediately at this point, it logs out the user. It is logging out the user because after checking $_SESSION == '1' - it finds that its not 1, and therefore displays login section again and a related message. The website is being...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
