[RESOLVED] php session problem during migrate from Linux to Windows

gloucester

Due to the request, I need to migrate the php website from Linux server to Windows 2000.

One strange problem has bother me for a long time. The application is works fine after migrate to windows 2000, but whenever I insert or update data into mysql database (using the aplication web interface), I only can do it once, unless wait for 10 second, otherwise the page (web interface) only refresh but do nothing. This also happen to my phpmyadmin sometimes.

Windows 2000+Apache2.2+php5.2.11+MySQL5.0.51a+phpmyadmin 2.10.1

Since the program using the register_globals, so I have to trun it on.
session.auto_start() = 0 , I did remain this setting in php.ini

There should be somewhere can change the configuration to solve this problem, I been suffer this problem for 1 week already, anyone can give some tips or help would be very appreciate!

Thanks in advance!

gloucester,

I can't even begin to look into why this may be happening, however a few points to try:

1) increase memory_limit in php.ini
2) check filesystem permissions for whatever user the apache service is running on, ensure temp folder has permissions
3) run the Windows Performance Monitors, and see what exactly is happening with CPU, Memory, Disk, etc.

Under a test environment I've used XAMPP (basically apache+php+mysql+phpMyAdmin) very successfully from anywhere between Windows 2000 and (cough) Vista.

In a production environment I have had Windows 2000/2003 Server with Apache AND IIS (different setups) with no difficulty.

Be sure that the Windows 2000 Machine isn't overloaded with services as well, using the performance monitor will really help isolate this issue (or rule it out for that matter).

Your Apache/PHP Setup is only as good as your windows setup.

Best of luck, and see here for info on System Monitor.

Thanks for your replay mate. I think I found the problem which caused by the mod_auth_sspi is a Apache 2.x SSPI authentication module which let Apache 2.x users authenticate against Win32 domains.

link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-auth-sspi/

I did config httpd.condig as following:

<Directory "D:/Develop/htdocs">
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride All

 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all

 AuthName "A Protected Place"
 AuthType SSPI
 SSPIDomain tpe.compalcomm.com
 SSPIAuth On
 SSPIAuthoritative On
 SSPIOfferBasic On
 require valid-user
</Directory>

I can get the domian username by using $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"], but cause the problem like I post in this thread.

Is that possible to have both working on my system?

Any tips or advice would be highly appreciate!

Thanks in advance!
