User not creating session or cache files.

[felosi]

Well I am totally baffled by this one and have never had this problem before. I dont know if it is litespeed or what. But anyway, I got this client's server, it used to be on a cluster, now its just litespeed. I installed php and everything just like I normally would any other server but I now have the strangest problem.

I noticed that the user was not creating session files in /tmp nor would create any cache files in eaccelerator's cache directory.

AT first I got an shmget error doing php -v but adjusting some things in sysctl.conf remedied that. I have recompiled php over and over with different configure options and still end up at same place.

When you do php -v as root you get

Plus it will create session and cache files for root

When you su to the user and do php -v you get

Creates no cache or session files.

As far as the system it is a centos 5 i386, using default kernel, selinux is disabled and all that. ALl file permissions are correct. No open base dir is set. Everything looks normal

Php was configured with this

./configure'  '--prefix=/usr/local' '--with-litespeed' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-libxml' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-pdo=shared' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-zip' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl=/opt/curlssl/' '--with-curlwrappers' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext' '--with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-kerberos' '--with-libexpat-dir=/usr' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/' '--with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/' '--with-mhash=/opt/mhash/' '--with-mime-magic' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-openssl-dir=/usr' '--with-pdo-mysql=shared' '--with-pdo-sqlite=shared' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-sqlite=shared' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/opt/lsws/conf'

Any idea whats going on here?

[auser]

maybe php.ini different under root and user?

to check:
cd $SERVER_ROOT/fcgi-bin
./lsphp-5.2.9 -i|grep "php.ini"

under root and user respectively.
