It's POSSIBLE, but very unlikely, that 'whoami' is getting fooled into printing 'root' and you're not really 'root' I think I once saw phpinfo() print out 'root' when I knew damn well User was set to 'www' -- But I think it somehow caught 'root' during the startup phase of Apache before it forked into the User 'www' and was displaying an incorrect value. Even if you *are* (foolishly) running Apache as 'root' the session data will not get stored in /tmp/sess if those directories do not exist. Also, I suspect that if, say, 'root' gets prompted on the command line before over-writing data or violating chmod settings of the owner/group of a file (or directory) then I would not expect PHP to write to /tmp/sess I'm not real clear on how/when 'root' user gets prompted with things like "Override read-only access on xyz" but I've seen it in bash, so whatever causes that will likely stump PHP. This really *DOES* boil down to paths/permissions almost for sure. And whatever you do, do *NOT* run Apache as 'root'! -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
