Hi Petr! Hi List!

I found the following bug with debian-woody on alpha:
ii php4 4.0.100-1 A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu
ii php4-cgi 4.0.100-1 A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu
ii apache 1.3.22-5 Versatile, high-performance HTTP server

But when I start apache with php enabled I get:
PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0

In README.Debian exactely this message is shown under php4-cgi
(although php4-cgi is not necessary for apache/php support). But this
file is not existent and when I create it I is removed after invocation
of /etc/init.d/apache start, so this does not seem to be the problem.

Ah, what I forgot:
ii libmm11 1.1.3-6 Shared memory library

Can you give me a hint on this?

Best wishes

Norbert

I got this on my alpha too, I just changed the session management to
file :( and it fixed it, but not the best idea.

why is it a bad idea? files are good :-)

In later revision I added this. It is reported to also fix the problems.
Could you try this?

2) increase the limit on shared memmory (echo "33554432" >
/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax). This is mainly needed on non-i386 archs. The
default is 8MB, but that seems too low.
