[mod_backhand-users] php sessions
After playing with mod_backhand for a few days, I think I have a handle
on it. Only thing I can't figure out is why my phplib sessions are not
working for me

in my httpd.conf, I have

<Directory "/var/www">
Backhand bySession MySession
Backhand byAge
Backhand byRandom
Backhand byLogWindow
Backhand byLoad
</Directory>

where MySession is the name of the phplib session (using session4). It
does not seem to be working; I have to log into each machine seperatly.
Once I have logged in, I don't have a problem.

has anyone used phplib with mod_backhand? phplib uses regular php4
sessions which are stored as cookie. Is ther something else I need to
declair?

thanks

Not that I know of. It doesn't sound like it is _completely_ cookie
based. I admit, I know very little about PHP coding using phplib. The
bySession candidacy function was written (by Martin) to provide session
stickiness for sessions that can't be stored entirely in cookies. Note
that it requires a some server-side PHP code. Please read his readme.
