Zend_Session / Zend_Auth randomly throws Error Message ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var/lib/php5) failed: Permission denied (13)



I'm currently working on a new Application using (among other things) Zend_Auth but, for whatever reason, this Error Message is showing up at any location totally randomly (or so it seams)





Zend_Session::start() - /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Session.php(Line:480): Error #8 session_start() [function.session-start]: ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var/lib/php5) failed: Permission denied (13) Array





  • #0 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Session/Namespace.php(143): Zend_Session::start(true)



  • #1 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Auth/Storage/Session.php(87): Zend_Session_Namespace->__construct('Zend_Auth')



  • #2 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Auth.php(91): Zend_Auth_Storage_Session->__construct()



  • #3 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Auth.php(141): Zend_Auth->getStorage()



  • #4 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/xxxxxxx/application/controllers/AdminController.php(10): Zend_Auth->hasIdentity()



  • #5 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Controller/Action.php(133): AdminController->init()



  • #6 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Controller/Dispatcher/Standard.php(262): Zend_Controller_Action->__construct(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http), Array)



  • #7 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Controller/Front.php(954): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http))



  • #8 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/Bootstrap.php(97): Zend_Controller_Front->dispatch()



  • #9 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/library/Zend/Application.php(366): Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap->run()



  • #10 /home/hannes/workspace/develop/xxxxxxx/public/index.php(26): Zend_Application->run()



  • #11 {main}







Any Idea/Suggestion welcome!

  1. A solution is to set the session.save_path in the php.ini file to a writable directory.
    for example: session.save_path = "/tmp".
    Switching the session garbage collection off in the first example is not a good idea. The second example does not work on Ubuntu 10.04

  2. Apparently this issue is affecting mostly (only?) debian/ubuntu based systems and has to do with automatic session garbage collection. Check out this link for more: http://somethingemporium.com/2007/06/obscure-error-with-php5-on-debian-ubuntu-session-phpini-garbage

  3. Actually changing the directory of the session.save_path turns garbage collection off. That is why it now works for you. If you want garbage collection you can change the original directory owner to the php user "www-data"

    chown www-data /var/lib/php5

    In the alternative you can write a garbage collection script for the new directory.

  4. I had this problem with the Symfony framework also, the problem is php does not have permission to the session storage directory. Just change the session save directory to somewhere writable. In Zend Framework Bootstrap config ini:

    resources.session.save_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/session"

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
