Changing session.save_path in php.ini not working

  • 772

Fedora 25 + PHP 7 + Apache 2.4.23

Hello, after I change session.save_path in php.ini and restart apache, I can successfully verify that it's modified with:

$ php -i | grep session.save_path

However, in the html/php pages themselves, the sessions are not written so the session.save_path I set, but they're stubbornly written to /var/lib/php/session/. Even setting the value in .htaccess isn't working:

php_value session.save_path "/mycustom/path/folder"

The only working solution that can override the default /var/lib/php/session/ is to set the value in the php file itself:

ini_set('session.save_path','/mycustom/path/folder');

Any ideas?

php .htaccess php.ini apache-2.4 session

    1. create phpinfo() file in dir with this php file.
    2. open it via browser, and find list of applied ini-files.
    3. check all of these files to contain session.save_path override
