如何解决Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files问题

本篇内容介绍了“如何解决Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files问题”的有关知识，在实际案例的操作过程中，不少人都会遇到这样的困境，接下来就让小编带领大家学习一下如何处理这些情况吧！希望大家仔细阅读，能够学有所成！

之前编译安装的LNMP环境+phpmyamdin4.02的版本，今天突然出现这个问题：

复制代码 代码如下:

Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /data/www/phpmyadmin/libraries/session.inc.php on line 83

大致意思是session会话初始化的时候储存路径有误！第一反应就是查看php.ini的配置文件中的：

复制代码 代码如下:

session.save_path = "/tmp"

默认前面是加的分号，表示不启用，我之前配置的时候已经启用了。那为什么还会报错呢？，于是网上找了一些资料，感觉都千篇一律：

1、检查error.log(Apache2.2\logs)文件，查看是否有错误报告。未发现。
2、检查php.ini中的session.save_handler的值是否为files，如果不是改为files
3、检查php.ini文件中session.save_path是否被注释了，如果有，则去掉前面的”;”。
4、将save_path后面的路径改成已有的路径，比如”D:\php\temp”
5、检查temp文件夹的属性是否可读可写。
6、重启APACHE服务器。OK

不知道那些哥们转载的时候自己试过了没有（在这里喷一下，最讨厌那种自己都没有亲测，就一股脑的转来转去。一点都不负责!）
根据上面的流程，排查了之后发现压根就没有解决，不过小编的服务器是nginx非apache。
然后自己写了一个脚本test.php：

复制代码 代码如下:

$r = session_start();
var_dump($r);

打印结果为：

复制代码 代码如下:

Warning: session_start(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 501 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /data/www/test.php on line 3 Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /data/www/test.php on line 3

意思是 php5一个安全模式的bug，默认session的save_path是系统的临时目录，这样会要校验权限。而这个脚本不能通过/tmp拥有者uid为0来执行uid是501也是www用户组的权限
解决这个有两种解决方法：

1.关闭安全模式；
2.在命令行下chown改文件/目录的拥有者

当然两种方法都要求你有服务器的权限。
下面是示例php.ini的配置文件：

复制代码 代码如下:

[Session]
 ; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
 ; http://php.net/session.save-handler
session.save_handler = files; Argument passed to save_handler.  In the case of files, this is the path
 ; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this
 ; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.

 ; The path can be defined as:

 ;     session.save_path = "N;/path"

 ; where N is an integer.  Instead of storing all the session files in
 ; /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and
 ; store the session data in those directories.  This is useful if you
 ; or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is
 ; a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions.

 ; NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically.
 ;         You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose.
 ; NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to
 ;         use subdirectories for session storage

 ; The file storage module creates files using mode 600 by default.
 ; You can change that by using

 ;     session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path"

 ; where MODE is the octal representation of the mode. Note that this
 ; does not overwrite the process's umask.
 ; http://php.net/session.save-path
 session.save_path = "/tmp"

 ; http://php.net/session.use-cookies
 session.use_cookies = 1
; http://php.net/session.cookie-secure
 ;session.cookie_secure =
; This option forces PHP to fetch and use a cookie for storing and maintaining
 ; the session id. We encourage this operation as it's very helpful in combatting
 ; session hijacking when not specifying and managing your own session id. It is
 ; not the end all be all of session hijacking defense, but it's a good start.
 ; http://php.net/session.use-only-cookies

 ; when the session.gc_divisor value is 100 will give you approximately a 1% chance
 ; the gc will run on any give request. Increasing this value to 1000 will give you
 ; a 0.1% chance the gc will run on any give request. For high volume production servers,

 ;       (see session.save_path above), then garbage collection does *not*
 ;       happen automatically.  You will need to do your own garbage
 ;       collection through a shell script, cron entry, or some other method.

; PHP 4.2 and less have an undocumented feature/bug that allows you to

 ; introduces some serious security problems if not handled correctly. It's
 ; recommended that you do not use this feature on production servers. But you
 ; should enable this on development servers and enable the warning as well. If you

因为这个是在一台VPS上面配置的，上面有多个项目，于是小编打开一个项目，发现此项目的验证码功能是OK的。
于是查看代码如下：

复制代码 代码如下:

$sessSavePath = "/data/sessions/";
 // Session保存路径
 if(is_writeable($sessSavePath) && is_readable($sessSavePath)){ session_save_path($sessSavePath); }
 if(!empty($cfg_domain_cookie)) session_set_cookie_params(0,'/',$cfg_domain_cookie);

上面这个代码是在session_start() 初始化之前来判断是否存在session会话的文件夹。
于是就在phpmyadmin里面的保存的那个文件/phpmyadmin/libraries/session.inc.php做了下修改:

复制代码 代码如下:

if (! isset($_COOKIE[$session_name])) {
 // on first start of session we check for errors
 // f.e. session dir cannot be accessed - session file not created
 $orig_error_count = $GLOBALS['error_handler']->countErrors();
 //session_save_path('./tmp');
 session_save_path("/data/www/session");
 $r = session_start();
 if ($r !== true
 || $orig_error_count != $GLOBALS['error_handler']->countErrors()
 ) {
 setcookie($session_name, '', 1);
 /*
 * Session initialization is done before selecting language, so we
 * can not use translations here.
 */
 PMA_fatalError('Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. Also ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser.');
 }
 unset($orig_error_count);
 } else {
 session_save_path("/data/www/session");
 session_start();
 }

在 session_start();  前面添加了  session_save_path(“/data/www/session”); 就解决了这个问题。
切记通过@ini_set(‘session.save_path', ”/data/www/session”);无效！
