之前編譯安裝的LNMP環境+phpmyamdin4.02的版本，今天突然出現這個問題：
復制代碼 代碼如下: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會話初始化的時候儲存路徑有誤！第一反應就是查看php.ini的配置文件中的：
復制代碼 代碼如下:session.save_path = "/tmp"
默認前面是加的分號，表示不啟用，我之前配置的時候已經啟用了。那為什麼還會報錯呢？，於是網上找了一些資料，感覺都千篇一律：
1、檢查error.log(Apache2.2\logs)文件，查看是否有錯誤報告。未發現。
2、檢查php.ini中的session.save_handler的值是否為files，如果不是改為files
3、檢查php.ini文件中session.save_path是否被注釋了，如果有，則去掉前面的”;”。
4、將save_path後面的路徑改成已有的路徑，比如”D:\php\temp”
5、檢查temp文件夾的屬性是否可讀可寫。
6、重啟APACHE服務器。OK
不知道那些哥們轉載的時候自己試過了沒有（在這裡噴一下，最討厭那種自己都沒有親測，就一股腦的轉來轉去。一點都不負責!）
根據上面的流程，排查了之後發現壓根就沒有解決，不過小編的服務器是nginx非apache。
然後自己寫了一個腳本test.php：
復制代碼 代碼如下:
$r = session_start();
var_dump($r);
打印結果為：
復制代碼 代碼如下:
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 php5一個安全模式的bug，默認session的save_path是系統的臨時目錄，這樣會要校驗權限。而這個腳本不能通過/tmp擁有者uid為0來執行uid是501也是www用戶組的權限
解決這個有兩種解決方法：
1.關閉安全模式；
2.在命令行下chown改文件/目錄的擁有者
當然兩種方法都要求你有服務器的權限。
下面是示例php.ini的配置文件：
復制代碼 代碼如下:
[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

因為這個是在一台VPS上面配置的，上面有多個項目，於是小編打開一個項目，發現此項目的驗證碼功能是OK的。
於是查看代碼如下：
復制代碼 代碼如下:
$sessSavePath = "/data/sessions/";
// Session保存路徑
if(is_writeable($sessSavePath) && is_readable($sessSavePath)){ session_save_path($sessSavePath); }
if(!empty($cfg_domain_cookie)) session_set_cookie_params(0,'/',$cfg_domain_cookie);
上面這個代碼是在session_start() 初始化之前來判斷是否存在session會話的文件夾。
於是就在phpmyadmin裡面的保存的那個文件/phpmyadmin/libraries/session.inc.php做了下修改:
復制代碼 代碼如下:
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”); 就解決了這個問題。
切記通過@ini_set(‘session.save_path', ”/data/www/session”);無效！
這個問題困擾了我幾個小時，終於解決了，所以就記錄下來，對日後應該會有幫助。
