RE: [Cgi-session-user] Session not saving data files

[Sherzod R. <she...@ha...>]

Directories are created at driver's init() stage, but sessions are written
at session's DESTROY() stage. Could you try adding:

	$session->flush();

at the end of your program and see if that changes anything? Some errors
generated during DESTROY() may not be noticed in the interface of your
program, but in your server's error logs. Check them.

Are you running under mod_perl or similar environment? If so, failing to
declare variables without my() creates global variables, that do not get
destroyed within the scope of your program. In this case calling flush() is
the only way to make sessions persist (or declaring them with my()).

Are your programs running as a designated user? Try to "su" to that user,
"cd" into the directory where you're expecting sessions written into, and
try to "touch":

	% touch works-fine

Please let us know about your findings.
