php session handling in Apache on NT

Anon

I've installed Apache 1.3.23 on Windows 2000 and PHP 4.1.2 on it. I can't seem to get any session variables set using any of $_SESSION/$HTTP_SESSION_VARS/session_register() methods to work. My temp file is valid and track_vars is turned on. I can see that in the temp folder my session vars are stored in files but nothing is being written to it. Therefore, my session vars don't get carried across state. Anybody who came across this and solved it? If you can let me know, that would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

I have the same problem, but just for NTFS filesystem, on my FAT32 it works fine.

I solved the problem in FAT32 by creating a IUSR_COMPUTERNAME and givig it rights in the catalog that contains the sessionfiles.
But as I said it don't work on NTFS or I have done it wrong.

I have tried to set readrights for the IUSR user to php.ini alswell.

So I also need help... plz.
