  PHP Session issues Reply Contact hey all,   currently running PHP 5.2.6 under wndows 2003 IIS6. My php session directory is c:\php\sessions.   I see that the php session files are being created, and at times some data is being put into the file, and at times it's not.  But reguardless...  if any data is in the file or not..  php does not look at that files to read in.  In other words..  My php install is unable to retrieve sessions.

  Re: PHP Session issues Reply Contact according to phpinfo()   session.save_path = C:\php\session session.cookie_path = C:\php\session   NTFS permissions on C:\php\session are as follows.  HC7Group (group name of all IIS users) read + ex, list, read, write. Administrators = full control IIS guest = read + ex, list, read, write. Network service= read + ex, list, read, write. system = full control. default iis user is  IUSR_TEMPLATE

I'd almost bet it will be a permission problem, and filemon should help flush it out for you. ---------------- Dominic Ryan Microsoft IIS MVP www.iis-aid.com My IIS articles My PHP articles My How-to guides

  Re: PHP Session issues Reply Contact Hi I think Im having the same issue, as I have just mig'ed a bunch of websites from a Linux Redhat 8 box running php 4.2.2 to a 2003 box running IIS and php 5.2.4. On one of the website there is a login box and when you login it just takes you back to the front page, the web developer mentioned that it was something to do with the session.auto_start setting in php and I have looked at the php.ini on both servers and both of them are the same, so I googled and found myself here. I have also done the NTFS permissions on the session directory to see if it uses it and it creates the file. I just logged in to the website and it created sess_g411ish4mqbaqbq9pqtmddipe6 file with MM_Username|N;MM_UserGroup|N; inside of it..... Is that right?

I will be trying the diskmon later today.
