TITLE:
session.save_path differs by PHP Version ...​
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk Onyx Version 17.0.17 Update #23​
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Hey there,
I just noticed that the session.save_path is different for the multiple PHP Versions you deliver with Plesk Onyx.
- 5.6.30 FastCGI --> session.save_path = "/usr/tmp/phpSess"
- 7.1.3 FastCGI --> session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"

We had an issue where a PHP 7.1.3 Hosting had no access to /var/lib/php/session (it was chmod 755 - root:apache on one of our Servers we upgraded to Onyx while /var/lib/php/session is 777 - root:root)

Guess those pathes should be consistent over all different PHP Versions you deliver?

bye from snowy Austria
Andreas Schnederle-Wagner​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
have a look into Plesk delivered default Config​
ACTUAL RESULT:
Package default session.save_path (Plesk delivered default php.ini) differs on different Versions
- 5.6.30 FastCGI --> session.save_path = "/usr/tmp/phpSess"
- 7.1.3 FastCGI --> session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"
EXPECTED RESULT:
All PHP Versions should have the same default session.save_path ...
- 5.6.30 FastCGI --> session.save_path = "/usr/tmp/phpSess"
- 7.1.3 FastCGI --> session.save_path = "/usr/tmp/phpSess"
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Plesk was updated from 12.5 to Onyx (may be the source of the chmod issue???)​
YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:

Could you please specify ACTUAL RESULT and EXPECTED RESULT.
It is mandatory requirement.
Thanks.

Note: only on 1 Server the /var/lib/php/session Path was 755 - on our other Plesk Servers it's 777 - so maybe there was an Update Issue Plesk 12 --> Onyx on this Server? (not 100% sure which Plesk Version it was before we updated to Onyx ...)

Hi futureweb,

pls. note: Outputs from the command line are far better to read in CODE - brackets instead of inside QUOTES in a forum ( and smileys won't appear there ^^ ). ;)

In addition, your output reflects some "misconfigurations" at the vendor "php.ini". Plesk even corrected this by making a backup:
Code: 
/etc/php.ini.saved_by_psa:1267:session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"
AND
/etc/php.ini.saved_by_psa.05.07;18:11:1268:session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"
Code: 
/etc/php.ini.saved_by_psa.08.11;19:46:1268:session.save_path = "/usr/tmp/phpSess"
... and afterwards changes it to the correct path.

Afterwards another software/module on your server did some changes:
Code: 
/etc/php.ini.fwbak:1268:session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"
... so that the current vendor "php.ini" stays at:
Code: 
/etc/php.ini:1268:session.save_path = "/usr/tmp/phpSess"


You have an interfering software/module here, not related to Plesk, which misconfigures your vendor php.ini. ;)
 
changed to CODE formatting! :)

weird - on all those Servers there is ONLY Plesk installed - no other Software / special Modules.
But all those Servers has been updated Plesk 12 --> 12.5 --> Onyx. (some of them started even with earlier Versions of Plesk)

Possible the cause can be somewhere within the Upgrades? (only an uneducated guess ...)

Click to expand...
Sorry, I doubt that... no...

Plesk never used "/usr/tmp/phpSess" as far that I remember since version 8.0 ;)
 
alright - then I have really no clue what is happening here ... hehe ... will investigate further ... thx for taking the time looking into this and sorry for stealing your time! ;-)

From developers:

Plesk never uses "/usr/tmp/phpSess" as session.save_path - it is manual customization.
Plesk uses session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session" on all versions of plesk-php.
So request is invalid.
 
Hi futureweb,

to investigate the root cause, consider another "find" search, as for example:
Code: 
find / -type f -name "*.*" -exec grep --color -Hni "phpSess" {} \;
( ... will take some time, depending to your disk(s) amounts on your server :p )​
