Issue with session since upgrade to v3.1.9 - arieccc - 08-02-2018
Hi there,
I notice issues with the session since I upgraded to v3.1.9.
This is the issue:
Severity: Warning --> session_start(): Failed to decode session object. Session has been destroyed /CI_APP/system/libraries/Session/Session.php 143
These are my session settings:
$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'tp_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = SESSION_DURATION;
$config['sess_save_path'] = null;
$config['sess_match_ip'] = false;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = false;
Anyone else having this issue as well?

@arieccc,
What version of PHP are you using?

You cannot have a null sess_save_path when using the files driver.

Thanks for your replies guys!
I am using PHP 7.1.20
I thought sess_save_path set to NULL would CI use the default session storage path, but I will check into this.
The session is working normally, but at random moments I am being kicked out of the session and get the error as mentioned in my earlier post.
I recall CI 2.x has same issues with this as well, ajax call killing the session and locking issues.
Any ideas?

If your using ajax then you need to do a call session_write_close() once you no longer need anything to do with session variables.

From the Sessions Variables section of config.php
Quote:| 'sess_save_path'
|
| The location to save sessions to, driver dependent.
|
| For the 'files' driver, it's a path to a writable directory.
| WARNING: Only absolute paths are supported!
|
| IMPORTANT: You are REQUIRED to set a valid save path!

The session files were saved correctly. But issue remained. I tried to reduce size of each session (amount of data stored in the serialized session object). I reduced it from 8 kB to <1 kB. Didn't help.
It is still a mystery to me why this issue occurs, but changing the session driver to database fixed my issue. So I will stick to that solution for now.

@arieccc,
If that was your solution then your problem might have been permissions on the session directory.

Or his session gc_probability is set to 0
