** Description changed:

  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.
+ looking into error.log in this case (php > 7.0) I saw some lines saying
+ that session handling was not working as expected:
+ 
+ session_write_close(): Failed to write session data (files). Please
+ verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct
+ (3;/var/www/maharadata/sessions) in
+ /var/www/mahara-19.04.0/htdocs/auth/session.php on line 520, referer:
+ https://moodle.klocker-mark.eu/my/
  
  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.
+ working too (using single redis server on localhost:6379), then memcache
+ (1.4.25, default config) 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.
