Topic: Session errors

If you are getting a lot of errors in tmp/errors.log for logout.php file, it is because of the last 2 lines in it. The error lines would be like:

[31-Jul-2017 13:53:27] 0::logout.php:50:[before upgrade] session_destroy() [<a href='function.session-destroy'>function.session-destroy</a>]: Session object destruction failed

The following links have more info on it:

Re: Session errors

Periodically purge the errors in the tmp/errors.log file.

Placing echo session_save_path(); just before the @session_destroy(); line in access/logout.php and checking the html source of the logged out page will show where the session files are stored - these too must be purged periodically - they will generally be beyond the webroot and possibly out of reach of the php's permissions to destroy them and hence the error. In linux systems I have not found this issue.
