Incorrect error message when enabling resources.session.save_path

#Programming

Hold on Cowboy

This blog post is pretty old. Be careful with the information you find in here. The Times They Are A-Changin'

To customize the session location I added the following to my application.ini file.

resources.session.save_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../var/session" resources.session.remember_me_seconds = 604800 ;; One week resources.session.gc_maxlifetime = 604800

After refreshing I encountered this error.

Zend_Session_Exception: session has already been started by session.auto-start or session_start() in /usr/local/zend/share/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Session.php on line 462

This was a little misleading as I looking through my app to see if the session.auto_start or if I had called session_start() in the index.php or bootstrap.php… nothing.

Then just out of ‘duh’, I decided to see if the directory existed. Nope.

Solution

The error was completely misleading. The directory didn’t exist. Created it and all was well.
