Topic: How do I disable session.use_trans_sid when using PHP5 contib

[F22-Raptor]

I'm using the PHP5 contib and I need to disable session.use_trans_sid
How do I do it? Do I just edit /etc/php.ini?
There is another php.ini under:
/etc/php5/php.ini

There is a directory under
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php5/php.ini
with a bunch of modules (e.g. 8ModuleSettings17MSSQL).

When I open /etc/php.ini or /etc/php5/php.ini the header says:
;------------------------------------------------------------
; DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE! It is updated automatically by the
; SME Server software. Instead, modify the source template in
; an /etc/e-smith/templates-custom directory. For more
; information, see http://www.e-smith.org/custom/
;

;------------------------------------------------------------

but I have no files under /etc/e-smith/templates-custom.

Thanks for your help.

I think you should read the dev manual to understand how SME works..
btw, searching the forums for "template" or "fragment" will give you thousands examples to understand (in a practical manner) how to modify your SME in the SME way..

Hey Stefano, easier said than done, there is so much to digest.
I've looked up the forums and documentation but I still don't feel comfortable that I understand what needs to be done.

Here's what I think I should be doing and maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong:

1. under /etc/e-smith/templates-custom create a subdirectories /etc/php.ini
2. under the new subdirectory create a file named someting like 10sid
3. add the following line of text to the file: session.use_trans_sid = 0
4. at the shell type expand-template /etc/php.ini


Is this what I'm supposed to do? How do I determine the filename (10sid) is that something I pull out of a hat?
Will this update my PHP5 ini file which appears to be under /etc/php5/php.ini?

Copy (or create) the appropriate template fragment from:

Code: [Select]

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php5/php.ini/

to (making directories as needed)                 
***BTW: use mkdir -p to make the required directories in one command***

Code: [Select]

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php5/php.ini/

Then modify the fragment as needed.

After you are done there, run:

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/php5/php.ini
as the root user.

You want to copy this fragment:

Code: [Select]

80ModuleSettings16Session

Craig, that did it TAHNK YOU.
Boy, was I off the mark, I would've never figured out that I was supposed to use /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php5/php.ini/ not to mention picking the right file 80ModuleSettings16Session


Thanks again.
