[rt-users] Check directory permissions /Webmux.pl

[Carrie Coy]

Pls help me understand what might be wrong.  In my logs, the following
message appears:

[Fri Oct  5 15:25:52 2001] [error] 2 RT Couldn't write to session
directory '/us
r/local/rt2/WebRT/sessiondata'. Check that this directory's permissions
are corr
ect. at /usr/local/rt2/bin/webmux.pl line 162.

But, trying to get around this problem, I've temporarily loosened
everything up:

drwxrwxrwx   2 nobody   nobody       4096 Oct  5 15:42 sessiondata/

I see the following files in sessiondata/

-rw-rw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody          0 Oct  5 15:48
9ad21db448fc15ddc6cbd4440
a0c6f30
-rw-rw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody          0 Oct  5 15:48
Apache-Session-9ad21db448
fc15ddc6cbd4440a0c6f30.lock
-rw-rw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody         56 Oct  5 15:48
d0921072c91bc57498403e6f7
8489e2e

The last file contains:
^E^D^C^@^@^@^A
 d0921072c91bc57498403e6f78489e2e^@^@^@^K_session_id


I've put debugging stmts in webmux.pl and know that I'm failing where
indicated below:

eval {
        tie %HTML::Mason::Commands::session, 'Apache::Session::File',
          ( $cookies{'AF_SID'} ? $cookies{'AF_SID'}->value() : undef ),
            { Directory => $RT::MasonSessionDir,
              LockDirectory => $RT::MasonSessionDir,
            }   ;
    };
### ----> I don't get into this if stmt  ($@ is empty)
    if ( $@ ) {


Passed "make testdeps".  Recompiled my mod_perl to be static. So what
can I look for to fix this?  I'm eager to provide any missing details if
anyone's interested.
