Ticket 5: This module cause a problem with Apache and PHP4

Hi,

I'm trying to use Apache 1.3.26 with php4: 4.2.2-82 and libmm 1.2.1

When trying to start Apache with this combination, following error message is created: PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0

I have checked for the error on google and this seems to be a very widely seen problem. Some people have traced it down to libmm.

See here a very usefull url, describing the potential problem cause: ¤http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pub/linux/SuSE_update/8.0/patches/mm-1118

And here is a quote of the problem from the above link: --start of quote (At initialization, the PHP interpreter tries to get an as large shared memory segment as possible, and MM would try to allocate more than by default is available via /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax. "PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0". In this package the MM internal maximum value is set according to the system default shmmax value again (32MB) --end of quote

Can you fix this problem in the next build of libmm, so that it will be included in new distributions (like SuSE, which I'm using myself)?

It will safe a lot of people a lot of time, trying to find some patch for their current distribution.

Thanks and kind regards, Alex Wulms
