[Bug 1829115] [NEW] session handling 'file' not working with php > 7.0

 

Public bug reported:

When trying to upgrade my PHP7.0 to any other version > 7.0 (tried 7.1,
7.2, 7.3) login to Mahara failed. My setup is Mahoodle 3.6.3+/19.04 on
Ubuntu 16.04.6, Apache 2.4.18, PHP 7.0.33.

Mahoodle is running since some years using MNet for SSO to Mahara. After
looking into error.log I saw some lines saying that session handling was
not working when switching php versions.

Tried to use alternative session handling with redis (3.2.9), not
working too, then memcache (1.4.25) which worked for php 7.1 and 7.2,
not for 7.3.

So now I am using PHP 7.2 which is working both for moodle and mahara.
