Sessions limited on server? - php

2011-12-08 17:24:04 - PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
2011-12-08 17:24:04 - PHP Warning: Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0
Getting these errors after uploading a certain amount of content. Also, noticed that can no longer log in to admin panel. Could this be cause by too many sessions be stored on a server? Or anyone have any other ideas? First happened after uploading a few images through admin panel in open cart.
I am hosting a bunch of sites off of one server. SO it seems likely but has anyone run into this before?

Looks very likely that you've run out of space on the disk and so causing many things to fail. Try freeing up some space and try again.

PHP Session issue only on GoDaddy (Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie)

I am currently working on a user registration system for a client on GoDaddy hosting.
I have previously never had this sort of issue before on Hostgator and while testing locally on a PHP test server on OS X.
It's a fairly simple script too. common.php accesses the MySQL database, all of the pages (login, register, etc.) include common.php. Sessions start when the user logs in, etc.
I see the following errors at the top of the page:
Warning: session_start(): open(/home/content/10/12114910/tmp/sess_trmok9fgtb527mjp21a76shf54, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/content/10/12114910/html/common.php on line 86
Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/10/12114910/html/common.php:86) in /home/content/10/12114910/html/common.php on line 86

The following errors are at the bottom of the page.
Warning: Unknown: open(/home/content/10/12114910/tmp/sess_trmok9fgtb527mjp21a76shf54, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

Once again, this is only a GoDaddy issue. My client was originally on Windows hosting and this just did not even work at all and I switched them to Linux hosting.
They were on PHP version 5.3 and I changed it to 5.4 and I have still had no luck.
I have never messed with a php.ini file. Would I need to create one? I have heard that uploading it into the public_html folder overrides the one on the server even though we are on a shared hosting plan.
Would I also need SSH access to create a tmp folder and set proper permissions for it?
This is usually quite easy to fix on crappy providers (I don't recommend GoDaddy, by the way).
Here is how I'd go about fixing it, hopefully it will help you.
Step 1: Make a directory and call it _sessions or something of that
nature.
Step 2: Give it a chmod of 775 so that the web server can write to it.
Step 3: On the first script that runs, right at the top place session_save_path("./_sessions");
Step 4 (optional, but recommended): Add either deny from all in a .htaccess file to prevent people from getting to the directory, or simply chmod 776.

PHP ftp_get causing warning and not downloading file

I've got a fairly simple cron job that pulls down some files from an FTP server - none of the files are particularly large, but I'm constantly getting the following:
Connected to voip.colefabrics.com, for user colefabrics\absolute
Warning: ftp_get(): Opening BINARY mode data connection. in /home/www/colefabrics.com/httpdocs/libs/classes/class.ftpObj.php on line 56
There was a problem while downloading website/items.csv
Attempt 2:
Connected to voip.colefabrics.com, for user colefabrics\absolute
Warning: ftp_get(): Opening BINARY mode data connection. in /home/www/colefabrics.com/httpdocs/libs/classes/class.ftpObj.php on line 56
There was a problem while downloading website/items.csv
...snip...
I've been through all the other posts relating to this, tried to enforce passive mode, increased the timeout, but nothing is working.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and what I can do to try and resolve it?
To confirm, it's working fine via a 'normal' FTP client, it's only via PHP that I have a problem.

Warning: session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session error

I am currently using Opencart 1.5.5.1 shopping cart software and have recently encountered an error. My sites frontpage has gone completely down and when I attempt to login via the admin side of the store I receive the following error:
Warning: session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_gbatrqu15lf22fbb0cprgjlrs5, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /var/www/vhosts/andysmotorcycles.com/httpdocs/system/library/session.php on line 11
I have checked line 11 and it is simply the session_start() command.
It seems as though that you have used up all your inodes on your hosting plan (1 inode = 1 file) Most Hosting services limit the number of files that can be generated on the server (this includes everything (emails, source files, session files ...)) You most likely need to remove old session files from the var/lib/php/session dir. Once you do that, yur inodes usage will be uch and lower and your issue will be resolved. Try to use a cron to automatically scan the dir at a preset schedule and remove old session files

PHP: Session_start() directory does not exist error

I have looked around on the issue - but it seems that all I can find about it is people who are having the problem connecting to a local database or something (not really sure). I am having the problem on my website (any time I make an ajax call to a file that has a session_start())
Anyways, this is the error message I am getting:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd/sess_5840483107c1db9753c32214723b64a6, O_RDWR) failed: Not a directory (20) in /data/in/r/reiconsultants/www/employee/user_page_login.php on line 3
Warning: Unknown(): open(/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd/sess_5840483107c1db9753c32214723b64a6, O_RDWR) failed: Not a directory (20) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd) in Unknown on line 0
I haven't touched the code in a while - and I can be quite sure that no one else has either, so I am not sure why the error is occurring. I read a bunch about people going in and setting the php.ini file, but I have never had to do that before - and can't even find the file.
Like I said - the error is occurring on my company website, not when trying to connect to a local database.
The error just popped up today - I got flooded with emails about it, and it is on more than one web page being hosted on the server - all the pages I have that include a session_start() at the top have the issue.
Could it be a server side issue that I can't fix? or what...
sorry if I am not descriptive enough - I have absolutely no idea what is going on, and therefore don't know what to say. Just ask me for any clarification you need.
Thanks!

The error is indicating that /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd/ is set as your folder to save session data in. Does that folder exist and is writable by the user Apache is running as? Does the Linux server have any other security measures like SELinux running that might be stopping writing to that directory?
Did you verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct? Is /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd correct folder for saving session data?
Try set session.save_path = "/tmp" in you php.ini to ensure that problem is in folder.
you can also change the session path at run time:
string session_save_path([string $path])

Failed to write session data

I received this message after long time of using the same application without programming changes:
Warning: Unknown(): write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
I thought is servers problem, but these messages are not showing in every computer. Is this some sort of problem with settings? What can I do to fix this?
From Bytes.com
The filesystem containing /tmp is
full. Your system administrator should
fix this immediately - and if they
haven't noticed you ought to question
what level of support you're getting,
since a lot of things will go horribly
wrong if /tmp is full.
