Hello James,

You are correct, the PHP Package is responsible for settings these
attributes:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ius-
coredev/ius/php53u/view/head:/SPECS/php53u.spec#L1119

You will notice this is the exact way Fedora handles their PHP packages,
see below snippet from
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/p/php-5.4.4-2.fc18.src.rpm:

  $ grep session SPECS/php.spec 
  # To ensure correct /var/lib/php/session ownership:
  Provides: php-session, php-session%{?_isa}
  install -m 700 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_localstatedir}/lib/php/session
  %attr(0770,root,apache) %dir %{_localstatedir}/lib/php/session

---

If using nginx I may suggest you configure a alternate session path in your php.ini, one that is not maintained
by a RPM package.

Jeffrey-

Title:
  php53u package updates reset owner of /var/lib/php/session

Status in IUS Community Project:
  New

Bug description:
  Every time a new php53u package is installed, the owner of
  /var/lib/php/session is changed to root:root. If PHP runs as a
  different user, this path has likely been configured to a different
  owner and must not be changed. If PHP cannot write to this patch, it
  is unable to create/update sessions (with no error as to why, as far
  as I can tell).

  Can future packages be altered to only set the owner for this path if
  it is creating it?
