PHP BUG - err mm:core: failed to open semaphore file

Wednesday, November 11. 2009

If you get an error when PHP launches along the lines of:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: mm_create(0, /var/www/phpSessionStorage/session_mm_cli1000) failed, err mm:core: failed to open semaphore file (Permission denied) in Unknown on line 0


You're going to either need to upgrade to 5.3.0, or wait for 5.2.12 to be released. Some debugging code made it into the core, both branches now have the issue corrected. Please help with google bait as this was a bit annoying to track down before Scott gave me a hand :-)

I was wondering what that was... ;-)

Enclosing asterisks marks text as bold (*word*), underscore are made via _word_.
Standard emoticons like :-) and ;-) are converted to images.
