php Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize stora_PHP教程

今天在php调用session时提示Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files(session.inc.php on line 83)错误了，下面我来给各位分享这个问题的处理方法。

原创解决： Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files问题

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：
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：

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(Apache2.2logs)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:phptemp”

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，不过璞玉的服务器是nginx非apache。
然后自己写了一个脚本test.php：
$r = session_start(); var_dump($r);
打印结果为：
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。

下面是璞玉php.ini的配置文件：
[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.

于是查看代码如下：

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:

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！
这个问题困扰了我几个小时，终于解决了，所以就记录下来，对日后应该会有帮助。
