RT-3.4.5 - losing session

Hello -

Requisite version information:
rt-3.4.5
perl-5.8.8
apache-2.0.58
mysql-5.0.26
mod_perl-2.0.2

After upgrading apache, I started having a problem where, after
clicking a link in RT, I’m sent back to the login page. It seems that
something went awry with how login sessions are handled. Since
upgrading apache, I’ve re-compiled both mod_perl and mysql, thinking
that would fix the problem but it hasn’t.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

…just an update on this issue. It appears that the login cookie is
being set correctly at login, but is not being read back correctly
upon further page navigation. I’ve reproduced this problem with
several different web browsers and several computers, so it’s not a
client-side problem

I’m continuing to pound away at this issue and have still not come up
with a solution. I’m debating upgrading RT this evening, but wanted
to do a last bit of checking before doing that. I checked out the RT
tables in Mysql, and noticed that all of the tables were InnoDB except
for the sessions table, which is a MyISAM table. Could this be
causing the problem? I’d doubt it, but wanted to run it by the list.
New login sessions are being added to the table.

Thank you-

I assume that you’ve checked the Apache error_log for this host? That’d
be the first place that I’d check.

Yes - I have checked it…nothing out of the ordinary:

[Tue Mar 06 23:08:56 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Tue Mar 06 23:08:59 2007] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper:
/usr/sbin/suexec2)
No root path(s) specified at /var/www/helpdesk/rt-3.4.5/bin/webmux.pl line 98

It’s been throwing the “no root path” since well before this problem arose.

Well I just did a test upgrade to 3.6.3 and the exact same session
problem showed itself there. Any further ideas what this could be
caused by?

Hello Sir,
Well here in our orgranisation we are also facing the same problem in RT even after uprading it to 3.4.5 to 3.6.3

       Can any body  have idea regarding what to debug in this case?
