What causes the access on the server when the server starts?
I've run rhc tail
on my app to monitor the new logs.
Here is my log http://laravel.io/bin/Dez4o
When I started the app using rhc app-start
app-root/logs/php-fpm-error.log

The access logs
The described behavior matches haproxy's http health checks. New sessions are created because haproxy does not keep cookies between health checks, thus your application (Laravel) considers the request the first request of a new browsing session.
You could reconfigure your health check url to something that does not use sessions to avoid creating the session file, but that would mean that the health check would pass even if the session functionality is broken.
