Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module:
大致意思是session会话初始化的时候储存路径有误！第一反应就是查看php.ini的配置文件中的：session.save_path = "/tmp"
默认前面是加的分号，表示不启用，我之前配置的时候已经启用了,那为什么还会报错呢？,于是网上找了一些资料，感觉都千篇一律：
1、检查error.log(Apache2.2logs)文件，查看是否有错误报告,未发现。
2、检查php.ini中的session.save_handler的值是否为files，如果不是改为files
3、检查php.ini文件中session.save_path是否被注释了，如果有，则去掉前面的];]。
4、将save_path后面的路径改成已有的路径，比如]D:phptemp]
5、检查temp文件夹的属性是否可读可写。
6、重启APACHE服务器。OK
不知道那些哥们转载的时候自己试过了没有（在这里喷一下，最讨厌那种自己都没有亲测，就一股脑的转来转去。一点都不负责!）根据上面的流程，排查了之后发现压根就没有解决，不过璞玉的服务器是nginx非apache。
然后自己写了一个脚本test.php：
$r = session_start(); var_dump($r);
打印结果为：
意思是 php5一个安全模式的bug，默认session的save_path是系统的临时目录，这样会要校验权限。而这个脚本不能通过/tmp拥有者uid为0来执行uid是501也是www用户组的权限
解决这个有两种解决方法：
1。关闭安全模式；
2。在命令行下chown改文件/目录的拥有者
当然两种方法都要求你有服务器的权限,下面是璞玉php.ini的配置文件：

Instead of storing all the session files in ; /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and ; store the session data in those directories. This is useful if you ; or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is ; a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions. ; ; NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically. ; You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose. ; NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to ; use subdirectories for session storage ; ; The file storage module creates files using mode 600 by default. ; You can change that by using ; ; session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path" ; ; where MODE is the octal representation of the mode.

$sessSavePath = "/data/sessions/" ; // Session保存路径 if ( is_writeable ( $sessSavePath ) && is_readable ( $sessSavePath )){ session_save_path( $sessSavePath ); } if (! empty empty ( $cfg_domain_cookie )) session_set_cookie_params(0, '/' , $cfg_domain_cookie );上面这个代码是在session_start() 初始化之前来判断是否存在session会话的文件夹,于是就在phpmyadmin里面的保存的那个文件/phpmyadmin/libraries/session.inc.php做了下修改:
if (! isset( $_COOKIE [ $session_name ])) { // on first start of session we check for errors // f.e. session dir cannot be accessed - session file not created $orig_error_count = $GLOBALS [ 'error_handler' ]->countErrors(); //session_save_path('./tmp'); session_save_path( "/data/www/session" ); $r = session_start(); if ( $r !== true || $orig_error_count != $GLOBALS [ 'error_handler' ]->countErrors() ) { setcookie( $session_name , '' , 1); /* * Session initialization is done before selecting language, so we * can not use translations here. */ PMA_fatalError( 'Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. Also ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser.' ); } unset( $orig_error_count ); } else { session_save_path( "/data/www/session" ); session_start(); }在 session_start(); 前面添加了 session_save_path([/data/www/session]); 就解决了这个问题,切记通过@ini_set(‘session.save_path’, ]/data/www/session]);无效！
这个问题困扰了我几个小时，终于解决了，所以就记录下来，对日后应该会有帮助.
