[Bug 316441] Re: PHP session garbage collection

2010-10-11 Thread Phil Bayfield
I found another issue with this cron job today. One of our web servers was experiencing very high load, I assumed we had high traffic and went to take a look at where the traffic was coming from. It wasn't website traffic at all. We had so many PHP session files in the folder that the cron had f

I tested with a VPS, if you have an MTA installed prior to MySQL install (other than Postfix), Postfix is not installed, which is a good thing! In this case I was setting up a dedicated MySQL box so really didn't want/need an MTA on there. We already have load balanced Exim servers for mail! --
